That's why it's "open competiton." There's a distinct possiblity that Croyle could be a better quarterback than Huard right now. He's certainly more talented.

Am I the only human being on the face of the planet confounded by all this?

Trent passes for more yards than practically anybody over the past four/five years. Was that an accident? Then he takes a crack on the egg and he's bus fodder all of a sudden.

I'm as confused as a born again Buddhist on Halloween.

Not much of a bet. This is the way the Chiefs do things, one retread after another.

No, the meat n' taters of the deal he signed is kicking in. We flat out can't afford to pay a QB his age 7+ mil a year to slowly get worse. And he will, he's ancient in NFL years.

Here's what I noticed about the Chiefs over the Trent Green tenure:

Trent Green was successful when the opposing defense had absolutely no idea what was going on. Saunders was so good with mixing up playcalls that Trent, at times with the blocking of Willie/Tait & crew could sit in the pocket and literally make every read.

3rd and 8 could be anything from a Priest draw, to a Priest sweep, to a play-action pass...opposing teams literally had no idea how to stop the Chiefs and Trent Green.

A lot of that was Trent being comfortable with his blindside blocking.

We saw two years ago how Trent played without blocking when Willie was hurt. The Buffalo game is a good example. Larry ran all over the Bills but Trent, without the luxury of having 4 seconds to make his reads, couldn't get rid of the ball or stay away from the costly picks.

This year, it all went into the shitter. Trent was so accustomed to having the time to make his reads that he wasn't able to adjust, deeming him useless to our team. Which is why he should've been yanked for good at halftime of the Oakland game at Arrowhead.

But Herm tries too hard to please the fan base.

I hear we're looking to draft a safety this year...

Hammock Parties 03-15-2007 10:23 PM

Trent Green discussion is moot at this point...

I think the Chiefs want to go with Croyle, but Huard is the backup plan if he isn't ready this year.

Good take, and I agree to a point. Herm didn't try TOO hard to please the fans, because if that were the case, he would have switched from the smash mouth offense back to the Air Saunders offense as soon as the rumblings started.

Trent would be the perfect fit in Washington.

If Washington really wanted to win, and have a chance at a Super Bowl, they should be wanting to acquire Trent Green.

I like Campbell. He's young, he's talented, blah blah blah. But he can wait for another year.

Washington isn't any better a team than KC is.

Prop things to Mr. Rausch, Mr. Hootie, and Mr. Brock. Good takes, all. I suppose the Chiefs are one of the things in life that I think about with my heart and not my head part.

Trent's my favorite Chief since DT and it's sad to see him treated like just another player who's hit the wall. We homers are an overly loyal sort.

Hate to see Green holding a clip-board..but in truth its probably where hes headed..that said, I hope the Kid can play this year and become our future at QB...

Overly loyal. That is one of the biggest traits of a real fan.
