Jeremy: So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, goodbye

Trent Green ended up in Miami. It's safe to say that, outside of Daunte Culpepper, everybody saw it coming. But Daunte is not having it.
"They would like to trade me in order to 'get something for me. However, it is my position that I have already been down that road and I am not interested in being traded."
To Daunte, you get the same response that I gave Jason Giambi when he said that MLB owed the fans an apology for the steroids mess... good luck with that.
Miami is clearly spending it's off-season addressing the offensive side of the ball, and they have been busy at the quarterback position. In addition to signing Green they re-signed their backup quarterback and drafted another. Like I said to Daunte, good luck!
Is it possible that you just can't win with Daunte? Is it possible that he is the Stephon Marbury of the NFL? Puts up massive numbers when he's healthy, but his team just does not benefit from him? Is it possible that the career of the man that was once called the ultimate quarterback will never take off and sustain like it looked like it would? Remember when we talked about Daunte in the same breath with Peyton Manning and Tom Brady? Remember the "if it weren't for Peyton Manning he would have been MVP" talk?
Poor Daunte. Maybe he should look into dog fighting.
