I wish petitions worked. I don't know if that's an odd thing to say, but I really wish they did, so we could start a petition to get that stupid kickoff rule changed. It really is one of the worst things to happen to the modern NFL. A broken record I may be, but I'll probably complain about this all season long, so buckle up, folks. That being said, I'm still greatly opposed to signing Daunte Culpepper, and I am fully aware that he wouldn't be starting or anything like that. He'd be a backup, but I don't consider him reliable in any way, less so than most undrafted rookies. I watched Culpepper in the UFL. I saw every pass. It was horrible.
