Actually their Cap numbers are pretty much the same. And if the numbers that are being thrown around about Brees are right then he'll probably be making more than Culpepper. Remember, Culpeppers deal is very backloaded. By the time the contract increases, he'll be in his mid 30's and will probably be cut as Jason COle of the Miami Herald said. Also, I just heard on SIrius NFL that he would restructure his contract for the dolphins.
Both Qb's have major injury issues. If they were healthy, Brees would still be in San Diego and Culpepper would still be in Minnesota.
We got a Qb who just two years ago threw for 39 TD's and 4700 yards for a 2nd round pick. Although he's hurt, you got to weigh the risk vs reward. Nick Saban thought the reward was greater than the risk. That's good enough for me.
