Filed under: Chiefs, AFC WestIf there was ever a situation to describe the Kansas City Chiefs of late, it is today’s talk of the team looking at Daunte Culpepper. Talks, possible workouts and now nothing, as the s blog Red Zone is reporting that the talks have settled and nothing more should happen between camps.

Culpepper would be an obvious upgrade to the quarterbacking core they’re stuck with now, but of course the buck stopped right around hopeful and here is what Kansas City has to look forward to.
If the Chiefs don’t sign a passer this week, they’ll enter the Jets game with banged-up veteran Damon Huard, second-year quarterback Tyler Thigpen and Ingle Martin, who coach Herm Edwards said Sunday wasn’t ready to lead the Chiefs offense.
Unless Culpepper was the person to snuff this idea out, why wouldn’t they give him a shot? His career quarterback rating of 89.9 would have the three-time Pro Bowler ranked 15th in the league this year, a position that would exponentially improve the Chiefs situation.

Now they’re going after former Tampa Bay quarterback Bruce Gadkowski, who in 11 games starting in 2006 had nine interceptions and six lost fumbles. The thought behind this is mind-boggling. You’re bringing in a below average quarterback when you already have below average or inexperienced quarterbacks on your roster?

I guess the Chiefs front office expects a lot more injuries before the season ends. If that is the case, bravo.
