The only odds I can see in Joey's favor are the injury odds. Which is always the toughest to judge. Joey will easily get his chance if Daunte can't step on the field. If Daunte stays healthy, then the job is by far all his.
I'm more interested to see how Miami will do with their new assets. If their D keeps up the good job, Daunte or Joey will get lots of attempts to show us what they have. I would hope the excitement of 2 new QB's will put a little gas in the a$$s of Chambers, Booker, and McMichael, and maybe give us FF nuts something to cheer about.
I haven't read the previous 2 pages cause the question is too silly. Only, I repeat, the ONLY way Harrington is in there ahead of Pepp is due to injury. Also, Harrington didn't look very good in offseason workouts. Learning a new offense, needs times, blah blah blah. Hopefully he never sees the field.

I see you don't appreciate the garbage (Harrington) we dumped off to you.

Don't blame ya.
I don't mind Joey as a back up. Just don't want to see him on the field as the full time starter.
Disregarding turnovers, I see Pep having a very good year. He tends to lock onto a favorite reciever and Chambers should fulfill that role just fine. Pep should start from week one and, barring injury, throw for 28-30 TDs. I'm thinking that due to injury concerns, he won't be allowed to scramble all that much which is likely a damn fine idea at this point.
Pep's long ball plus Chambers plus Brown plus soft schedule should equal a fine fantasy year.

You, Sir, have obviously never met Weedgil. 6th grade was 30something years ago and I'm STILL scared poopless of her.
Ray vs Weedgil? I hope Ray brings a friend.
But yeah, Joey should be able to work on his tan this year. Not bad work if you can get it.

C-Pepp is the Man in Miami unless he just can't do it.
If Joey ever starts this year, it won't be because he beats Culpepper out, it will be because the team needs to put the backup QB in b/c of injury. Joey is the backup QB.
So really there's no comparison here. They aren't competing for the starting job. Their roles are already established.
I would venture to say that even some really bad consecutive games from C-Pepp are not going to get him yanked. Joey only sees the field if Daunte's knee gives out.
