anyone who thinks this loss is Trent Green's fault didn't watch the game very closely.

or isn't being rational

Green played poorly pretty much all year.

IMO Green's either on the decline, or he's been exposed as a product of his O-line.

I'll pose the same question that I asked in another thread... What does Trent Green do well as a QB? Not what did he do 2+ years ago. What does he excell at now?

He excels at holding the ball entirely too long. Now is that because his WR's can't get open or because he's not going through his progressions as efficiently? Who knows?

I've always said that Saunders' pass routes were slow to develop. I don't know if it's a product of WRs that can't get seperation, or if it's just the complexity of the routes... my guess is a little of both.

But the truth is what Green did best was stand in the pocket and wait for someone to get open. Now no one is getting open, and even if they did Green doesn't get the time to wait for it.

A simplified pass offense may help that quite a bit. But to be honest I'm not sure Green's skill set is anything tha t pectacular in a watered down passing offense. He's not terribly accurate with his throws, and many of them lack touch. Watching Green throw short routes always remind me of that play-off game where Holmgren tells Favre to stop throwing the ball so damn hard.
