After an poor performance from the 49ers offense, and by potential starter at QB, Alex Smith. The 49ers are set to workout free agent QB Daunte Culpepper.

Culpepper has recently reunited with his former head coach in Minnesota, Dennis Green. They reunited in the UFL, with the Sacramento Mountain Lions.

Culpepper, is the former 11th overall pick of the Minnesota Vikings back in the 1999 nfl draft.

The last time Culpepper was seen in the nfl was when he was playing with the Detroit Lions, back in 2009.

Culpepper is a three-time Pro Bowler who in 2004 set a single-season record for most total yardage produced by a quarterback with 5,123 yards.

It would be a interesting move on the 49ers part to add Culpepper. Many 49er fans may or may not be happy about this news. Culpepper hasn't played in a few years, and he may be a bit rusty. But then again, he could possibly provide some veteran leadership on this team.

On a side note, the 49ers 2011 preseason opener in New Orleans didn't go to well. The highlights of the game were seeing rookie QB Colin Kaepernick look actually decent. He wasn't overwhelming good. But he had some nice throws.

Recently added SS Donte Whitner showed nice coverage skills. While the 1st-team Defense loked in mid-season form. If anything is shown, the 49ers defense should be in the top 15 to me. With returning most key starters, and having some youth inserted, with new veteran free agent additions, this years defense should be a very good one.

More to Come later.
