BLUE 1,026 Posted August 14, 2011 (edited) Per Rotoworld.com: Free agent QB Daunte Culpepper will reportedly work out for the 49ers Monday.Coach Jim Harbaugh spent the offseason hyping Alex Smith, ostensibly because he saw a lot of himself in the embattled former No. 1 overall pick. It took just a few series in the preseason opener for Harbaugh to realize he might be better off with veteran competition for Smith. Culpepper hasn't played at a high level in half a decade.

MNSportsMan 5 Posted August 15, 2011 If they're are serious about giving him a shot, they better not be planning on competing in the division Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RazorStar 4,025 Posted August 15, 2011 well if you can't have one competent QB you might as well have a bunch of incompetent ones. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLUE 1,026 Posted August 15, 2011 Per Rotoworld.com: A source tells CSN Bay Area that the 49ers plan to sign free agent Daunte Culpepper to a one-year contract.The move obviously reeks of desperation, but at least the 49ers are acknowledging a problem. They're not going to go anywhere with Alex Smith at quarterback. Per CSN Bay Area's Matt Maiocco, however, the Niners would only view Culpepper as a third-stringer with experience who could play in a pinch if needed. The 34-year-old would not be added to compete for the starting job. Aug 15, 2:57 PM Source: Comcast Sports Bay Area Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RANGA+ 1,210 Posted August 16, 2011 Meh it's just a contingency signing. He won't be starting. Or at least he better not be... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phins4life 271 Posted August 16, 2011 Heard this on ESPN earlier and I thought it was just speculation. I don't see how this move benefits anyone....other than Daunte being paid for essentially being a distraction to Smith (if they are serious about him not competing for the starting role).

Anthony 78 Posted August 16, 2011 well if you can't have one competent QB you might as well have a bunch of incompetent ones. I think Gruden used that same logic in Tampa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
