If Grbac has a bad year, will the Chiefs go after Trent Green?

TEX · 09-07-2000, 12:47 AM

Lets say that Grbac really has a bad year. In Raye's offense, that wouldn't surprise me especially if we fall behind early and often this season. Would the Chiefs pursue Trent Green? Or if Grbac was released, would the cap hit be too much. Could he be traded for Green and back up Warner. Again are the dollars involved too high here too? Wpuld Al Saundars come back to be the Chiefs OC? Any thoughts?

I guess it depends on how they end up doing this year. If we are 6-10 or worse I'll bet Gun and Grbac will be gone. I'm not all that high on Green, but I've only seen him a couple of times when he was w/ the Skins. I'm dreaming of Michael Vick for the Chiefs, but I know it's only a dream(sigh..). I'd like to possibly bring in Al Saunders as Head Coach if Gun is sent packing. Get him a solid D-Coord and let him develop a young QB, in a QB friendly system.

Forget Green, this team needs to go 0-16 and start rebuilding. They can take a QB in the draft, hopefully Mike Vick, if not, Drew Brees or Quincy Carter will suffice.

**Rausch** · 09-07-2000, 08:16 AM

Cannibal is correct. Green is a pipe dream at best.

Our best bet is to hire someone who can recognize QB talent, then draft a qb, then hire a guy who knows how to DEVELOP A QB!

Then again, maby Green would be easier....

Clint in Wichita · 09-07-2000, 08:17 AM

Gee, I don't know...maybe we should give Grbac one more year to develop if he has a bad season.

The Rams wouldn't trade a guy from their practice squad for Grbac. Plus, they won't let go of Green unless they can't renegotiate his salary.
I agree with the folks who say we need to develop a QB and get a guy who knows how to do it.

TEX · 09-07-2000, 08:21 AM

Cannibal,
I know you're behind Vick 100% and so am I but he's just a Soph. Has he even hinted that he would come out early? Shoot, Houston just got a team and everyone around here has Michael Vick as the Texan's first QB. If he stays in school, he'll be drafted #1 for the 2002 season. The Texan's pick first, and with Gary Kubiak coming back to Houston (he was born here and playd high school ball here) in all probability to be the franchises first coach who will be offensive-minded, it would be very hard for Vick not to consider that. I'm just curious if it's just wishful thinking on your part? I'd like to jump on the Vick wagon myself!

**ChiTown** · 09-07-2000, 08:21 AM

Cannibal -

At this point, it doesn't matter who the Chiefs take in the draft as long as they get a shot at one of the top 4 QB's. The fans deserve better than to lay their hopes on EG or Trent Green for that matter. They are not the future of this team. EG was part of a wrong solution that we decided would be the answer to our QBOTF questions several years ago. If EG won't accept a back-up role at reduced dollars next year (and he won't), we need to wack him. No if's, and's or but's about it. This team needs a cleansing.

nmt1 · 09-07-2000, 08:30 AM

At least a QB and feature back anyway.

Cannibal · 09-07-2000, 08:33 AM

The Chiefs should do everything in their power to obtain him.

I'd love to be able to hear "Vick to Morris... TOUCHDOWN KANSAS CITY!"

And I'd be able to put up with an 0-16 season this year if they fire Peterson and get a young QB in the draft next year.

KCTitus · 09-07-2000, 08:37 AM

Something tells me a winning season with CP at the helm would make Cannibal more miserable than 10 straight 10-loss seasons.

**ChiTown** · 09-07-2000, 08:37 AM

Amen to that!

TEX · 09-07-2000, 08:37 AM

Has anybody heard ANYTHING that would even suggest that Michael Vick is coming out early? He's just a soph.

KCTitus · 09-07-2000, 08:38 AM

TX: yes, he has said he's considered it.
