Thanks, Josh. You deserve much better. An Arizona Cardinals Fan.
The following makes the distinction unclear:
Veteran quarterback Daunte Culpepper was signed by the Raiders prior to the start of the 2007 season, and was used as a back-up quarterback to Josh McCown when McCown was active. But when McCown was unable to play, Culpepper was the starting quarterback for the Raiders, playing in 7 games, winning 3 games, and losing 4 games. Daunte Culpepper was questionable for the Raiders game against the Denver Broncos on December 2 after missing practice on November 30 with sore quadriceps.

The part about Josh McCown playing the slot position can't be right can it? There is no way on this earth you will ever convince me that a professional, NFL team could somehow be unable to find a better reciever to play the slot then Josh McCown. Did all the local high school recievers say "Meh, its the Lions, we'll hold out for a better opportunity"? 184.166.5.191 ( talk) 22:00, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
“ | McCown never threw a pass in ‘06, but he made an impression as an all-around athlete. In pickup basketball games, he was a leaper who could dunk with ease. On the football field, the Lions used him sparingly at wide receiver when injuries struck the position. | ” |
Wow OK, yeah I still don't believe you, well I believe you, in that I believe you found that article, I don't believe you are lying or anything, I just still don't believe it happened. You could link to video and I still wouldn't believe.
In fact the only way I would ever believe it is if you built a time machine, took me back in time to the game, and I went to the game and saw it with my own eyeballs.
Aaaand actually I still wouldn't believe it, I would just assume you accidentally built a some kind of alternate realty machine instead of a time machine and we were in some odd alternate universe.
I just don't get it, I don't care how athletic he seemed at the combine there had to be at least 1000 possible recievers they could sign that would be a better option. Jerry Rice today, would be better then Josh McCown on his best day ever. Granted Rice would probably need a month in an ice bath to recover, but for one game he would still be better. 184.166.5.191 ( talk) 22:35, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
Oh yeah Rod Marinelli made that decision you shoulda said, that explains everything. The reason it doesn't make any sense is cause it doesn't make any sense. 184.166.5.191 ( talk) 09:13, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

I'll give this a review. Given the size and detail of the article though, it's gonna take a week or two for me to go through all of it. Granted we've been through a whole season since the nomination.
Wizardman 02:33, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
Images are good. Lead is good, but one thing that irks me is five sentences in a row beginning with "He" in the third paragraph. Tweak a bit to avoid that scale of repetition. Wizardman 15:35, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
I'll start knocking out the other sections too, but to chime in on the latest thing, I don't see "fifth alternate" for the Pro Bowl really being worth mentioning. Selected of course, first alternate maybe, beyond that seems kinda silly. We're definitely not lacking for content on this one. Wizardman 03:11, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
Early years and college career sections look fine. Only minor issue I'd have is that with the "impressive performance" at the Senior Bowl, but the refs don't give any further modifiers to that either, so I'm ok with it as is if you can't find anything to expand on that with. I did jump down to Statistics from there, and while it's fine, the NYJ alongside the rest of the cities spelled out does look kinda odd (though i kinda understand why that's being done). My goal is to have this done by year's end since I'm planning a break in January, hopefully I can do so. Wizardman 17:54, 23 December 2017 (UTC)
At this time, Im not going to be able to finish the review unfortunately, so I will place it back in the queue. If it still hasn't been picked up when I return then I'll resume from where I left off. Wizardman 22:23, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
Back from the much-needed vacation, so I'll continue where I left off. Wizardman 02:30, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
Next up, did Cardinals and Lions sections:
Wizardman 03:31, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
And here's the rest (almost):
Through the Buccaneers now, next pass should finish the review finally, though from a skim the Browns and Jets sections may also need a bit of trimming. Wizardman 03:06, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
And the rest (finally):
I'll put this on hold and when everything's addressed I'll give it a second run through to make sure I didn't miss anything glaringly obvious. Wizardman 16:00, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
Finally had time to look through all the changes made, and everything looks good. The Raiders in particular is definitely a cleaner read. As such, I'll pass the article. Wizardman 00:46, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
