do we still want Green over Huard?

[Hootie]

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

Great win today boys!

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.

I've never mistaken you for the anti-Green.

I know you want the Chiefs to win, which is why I think your position is absurd. You've chosen superstition over reality.

Green is the better QB. Huard has been on this roster for 3 years. If he was better than Green, it wouldn't have taken an injury to get him on the field.

[DRU]

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...

This is a good point, and I'd agree that everything we've said about Green getting more reads depends on the o-line being able to give him the time. I could also agree that I'd like to stick with the game plan that we've been doing...for the most part...even with Green in the game.

Experience is the major factor here for me. We've gotten the same production out of both guys. When stats are the same, you move on to something else. Green has been a starter in this league for many years. Huard has had his chances and has NOT been able to win that job...ever. He's a backup, and I think there are reasons for that far beyond what any of us think we know.

If this team does make it to the playoffs, or even big games that could get us there, I'd rather have the guy who's seen all of these defenses before. The guy who can read blitz packages without even thinking about it because he's played these teams so many times and he's seen their packages so many times.

One bad read against a good team close to playoff time is all it would take to send us home.

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

I guess...

I really don't care who finds the end zone as long as we're scoring.

Comparing GrBac to Green/Huard and the way Gonzalez is used was pretty stupid...so you're right.

Eh.

It took two injuries for LJ to find the field.

Huard has all of the confidence right now, he's the hot hand, and he's the younger QB...

Why not ride him out and see what happens?

If we win a playoff game with him, and he stays effective...we can resign the guy, restructure Green or let him find a starting job elsewhere, and free up some money so we can sign some more playmakers.

Green isn't getting any younger...we've always cherry-picked backup QB's from other teams to take over as our starting QB, historically we haven't exactly had much success developing QB's...

Why not ride Huard for 3-4 more years? I really haven't been too impressed with Croyle.

I know, I know...I know nothing about football blah blah blah.

[OldTownChief]

Tony's TD rec. fell off in 2005 but still had a better year than all but one with GrBac.

Because he's the BACKUP.

Do you really want to send a message to your team that all you have to do to lose your job is get hurt? Especially after guys like Eric Hicks did everything but screw the coaches wife and not get benched?

That's the surest way to not only not get the best out of your QB, but kill the chemistry of the entire team as well.

[Que Card QB]

I remember many years with NO quarterback, let alone two excellent ones.

so, let's say Herm names Huard the starting QB...

You really think the team is going to stop playing for Huard?

Really?

I don't.

[Hootie]

and I don't think it'll ever come to that...

If Herm decides on Huard...we'll continue to hear about another setback blah blah blah until eventually Green will suit up, be our emergency QB...and if something actually happens to Huard I wouldn't be surprised to see Green enter the game...

I don't think Herm is going to come out and name Huard the starting QB...but I think it's 50/50 right now on whether or not Huard will finish the season as starter.

I already explained it to you. It's not my fault you're playing dumb.

Green is the STARTER.

Huard has to distinguish himself ABOVE AND BEYOND Trent in order to WIN the starting job. You become a starter because you're BETTER THAN THE GUY BEHIND YOU, not because a guy gets hurt.

So far, Huard has done EXACTLY what Green has done - manage a game and utilize his weapons. Until Huard does MORE than that, he's the BACKUP.

I don't.

I didn't say that.

And thank God we don't have to worry about it. Herm will do the right thing.

[Wile_E_Coyote]

Green has proven himself here for over 5 years, Huard for 7 games. He has played well, but how many backups have lit it up for a few games & then gone to shit. Kelly Holcombe, Billy Volek, Tommy Mattox...
