QB situation
We need a backup with the same skillset as Brees. Culpepper lacks the smarts of Brees and his pocket awareness. I'm not sure how well Daunte moves after the knee problems, but he's never done well moving within the pocket. He may take off, but if forced to stay in the pocket, he doesn't have the awareness to step up. Instead, he gets sacked and fumbles. Of course there is no backup we will find to come close to matching Brees (unless we get lucky with a Romo), but we need a similar QB. The Falcons had all sorts of problems anytime Vick missed a game because the backups Doug Johnson and Matt Schaub were complete opposites. The only positive with Culpepper is the cannon, but we don't have an offensive line that can keep him clean enough. We all know Brees plays a big part in avoiding sacks and Daunte can't do it well.
