do we still want Green over Huard?

[Hootie]

I mean...this Huard guy is playing sensational football.

Great win today boys!

GOTCHA!

Seriously, you've become overly pathetic.

Nowhere did I say that. But that's all you've got, apparently.

It's not the same offense we've run so many years now, but it's working because of a great running back who can gain yards even when people do focus on him.

Games will get nothing but tougher from here on out and when we start meeting good run defenses the entire scenario will change.

What do you have?

All you've been doing is calling me pathetic for thinking Huard should be our starting QB.

You haven't backed up anything that has me changing my mind.

I pointed out two games where Huard did it with his arm and apparently he had nothing to do with it because Gonzalez made a terriffic run after the catch...

Well, Tony Gonzalez WAS on our team last year as well...and if Trent didn't utilize him like Huard has been...I don't see how that is Huard's fault.

Trent liked to 15 yard dig routes to his receivers...Huard likes the 'find my biggest, best target' and let him make a play for me.

Plus, the Chiefs run, run, run and then it allows Huard to take that shot, you know, the one where we complete a long fade to Parker or Kennison.

Either way, if Green comes back...we better keep this game plan...

What difference does that make? Green routinely racked up big passing yards on screen plays to Priest Holmes. We've been at or near the top of the league in YAC for several years now.

If Green returns, I think we'll say an increase in Samie Parker's production.

I don't know whether or not that is a good thing...

Huard has one deep route in his repertoire - the fade. He forces the ball to Gonzo. And he progresses beyond his 2nd read maybe once or twice a game. There are plays that aren't being run simply because he's in there. People that know football can see it.

The results you speak of have to do with EXECUTION, and Huard has done a great job of doing what he's been asked to do. It is a fact, however, that they're not asking him to do as much as they have asked Green to do in the past.

I never set out to change your mind.

I've refuted, successfully, every point you've made. Whether or not you want to acknowledge reality is up to you.

As for Trent Green utilizing Gonzales, it's hard to throw to a guy that is engaged in blocking a DL or LB.

It makes a world of difference for one simple reason:

TRENT GREEN IS THE STARTER.

The burden of proof is not on Trent. The burden of proof is on Huard.

Huard's job as a backup is to fill in for the starter and make sure there's little or no drop-off. He's done that.

But for him to EARN the starter's spot, he has to prove he provides something to the team that the current starter does not provide. He HAS NOT done that. He hasn't even come close.

Tony didn't become our yards from scrimmage "all time" leader without Green throwing to him.

he was blocking a DL or LB because Green couldn't get through all of his reads without getting sacked...you know, all of those extra reads he makes that Huard can't do...

At some point are you going to stop, or are you willing to make this issue your entire legacy at Chiefsplanet?

Gonzalez found the end zone a whole lot more with GrBac as our QB...

Green >>>>>>>> GrBac

So don't even try and get me on this one.

I'll say it once again...

If/when Green starts for us, this year, I'm all for Trent Green. I don't care if Dustin Colquitt is our QB if we win the game...

You guys are confusing me as the anti-Green, and that's simply not true.

I want the Chiefs to win, win now...that's my main concern.

I think we have a better chance with Huard, the hot hand, and the guy not coming off a serious, career-threatening injury.

You kind of refuted yourself here....

Even if it were true that Huard finds Gonzo in the endzone more, by your own logic it wouldn't mean that Huard > Green.

Besides its not like Gonzo has gotten alot of TDS this year, before yesterday he had one.

Really? I didn't say anything about TD's I was refering to Yds. But you're wrong on both counts.
