Quarterback Rank: #33
Overall: #204
Culpepper wasn't on a roster at the start of last year, but found his way in the Lions starting lineup. He wasn't great in a starting role, completing just 52 percent of his passes while scoring five touchdowns to six interceptions. He'll be playing for a shot to start this preseason with the Lions, though. Rookie Matthew Stafford will be Culpepper's competition for the starting job. Culpepper might have the upperhand for this season, though, because of his familiarity with new offensive coordinator Scott Linehan. Culpepper was a top quarterback at one time, but those days seem behind him. He still has a solid arm, but his accuracy is a mess and he doesn't move around well at all in the pocket. It seems a struggle at times for Culpepper to just hand the ball off to the running back.

Even if he wins the starting job, we wouldn't mess with Culpepper. His best days are clearly behind him. He might be worth a roster spot if you have three quarterbacks, but that is about it. |
