Don’t worry about struggling QBs

Just saw this on SI.com. Makes you feel a little better after last week.

Daunte Culpepper

Just throw out Culpepper’s three-pick, zero-TD performance against Tampa Bay. Bucs defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin owns the Vikings QB. In six starts against Kiffin’s D, Culpepper is 2-4 with five touchdowns and 11 interceptions. Last season, Culpepper struggled against good pass defenses and torched bad ones. That pattern was particularly true in the five games Randy Moss sat out with a hamstring injury. As long as he was facing a unit ranked in the league’s lower third in passing defense, Culpepper came up with huge numbers without Moss. Tampa Bay ranked first in pass defense in ’04, so it’s not a surprise Minnesota couldn’t move the ball through the air. This week’s opponent, the Bengals, ranked 13th against the pass last year, so Culpepper should improve in Week 2, and then really start to put up big numbers against more vulnerable NFC North defenses later in the season.”
