Hmm, let me think about this.
Last year:
- ten QBs had ratings above 90.
- only five QBs threw over 30 TD.
- Only one (Drew Brees) threw 40 TD.
- Only five starting QB had more INT than TD. (Cassel is easily at the bottom. 6 TD and 12 INT. ****ing piece of shit).
Now, here are Trent Green's best four years:
GP CMP ATT CMP% YDS AVG TD LNG INT FUM QBR RAT
16 287 470 61.1 ... 3,690 7.85 26 99 13 0 -- 92.6
16 330 523 63.1 ... 4,039 7.72 24 67 12 4 -- 92.6
16 369 556 66.4 ... 4,591 8.26 27 70 17 10 -- 95.2
16 317 507 62.5 ...4,014 7.92 17 60 10 5 -- 90.1
His averages over his four best years would have (last season) made him:
#9 Rating
#14 TD
#4 YPA
#8 Yards Thrown
#9 CMP %
His statistics during his best year would have made him:
#9 Rating
#7 TD
#7 Yards
#4 CP%
#2 YPA
So, I think it is fair to say that he was an above average QB whose OL allowed him to play at a very high level - to 10 in almost every category. If he had thrown a handful more screens to Priest Holmes instead of the toss sweep, he'd be elite in TD also.
Playoff wins kept Green from being elite. But he absolutely was a franchise QB until his brain got scrambled.
