July 29, 200719 yr I'm from the very small town Tim is from (Hyden, Ky) & a reliable source (somebody related to Tim) has told me that he did sign with the Jags. He does have a condo in Florida. You are right, it's now on the Jaguars.com site. http://www.jaguars.com/news/article.aspx?id=6166 Which tells you that Culpepper may not be as healthy as he stated he is. Maybe Jacksonville didn't Dante that strong of a look. I guess we will see how it plays out.
July 30, 200719 yr While I don't think he would have ever been as good as Peyton he didn't exactly get benched for Holcomb. Couch started 14 games that year and had thrown 18 touchdowns. He was injured and Holcomb took over for the last 2 games and the playoffs. As has been shown since then his shoulder was really messed up and he was never the same. Holcomb played the 2nd half of the final regular season win over ATL (due to Tim's broken leg) and then started the playoff loss to Pittsburgh where he threw over 400 yards and 4 TDs. There was then a QB controversy and Holcomb got the nod to start the season opener. So, yes, he did get benched for a career backup.
