do we still want Green over Huard?

[Hootie]

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

Great win today boys!

Huard is winning games, and that's very seductive. But there is no question that Trent is the better QB. Anybody thinking that he's going to go "Roethlesburger" on us and be crap after his injury is either one or both of two things:

1. Superstitious.
2. Not watching.

Huard has thrown a lot of interceptions that were dropped. He's also had a bunch of balls batted down at the line, and some misques with recievers who hadn't made their break yet. I trust either to get the job done, but I'm much more comfortable with Trent out there.

As for the possibility of Trent sucking after his injury. I admit it's a possibility; but I don't think it's any more likely than Damon going out and laying an egg at Miami. In fact, I kinda think it's less likely. Trent has not only come back from injury before, but he's been STELLER in games where he was the backup and had to come in cold... Anybody remember the Rams game of 2000? Kurt Warner has played a season and a half of steller football. Then the Chiefs pound them for two quarters and Kurt Warner gets benched with a "bad finger." Trent Green stepped in and scored something like 28 points in the second half and made it look like a real game for awhile. Of course, their defense couldn't stop us that day either and we ended up with 54 points.

I was at that game. Trent looked brilliant. No rust to shake off at all. His only enemy once he got in there was the clock. He was scoring faster than the Chiefs, and it wasn't a case of third stringers out there defending him.

I agree on that but....huard is definetly lighting it up..this game will be huge on who our QB is next week. I kinda hope that Green can atleast get in this game or the next one if he isn't the starter. But a blowout is the likely scenario. I am all for the chiefs winning than anything, but know Trent is the better QB. I just hope he is the same guy at the helm we know he is. Can't argue though too much now on Huards QB rating and how he is on fire. I would prefer trent to start at oakland but won't bitch if he doesn't.

Prime example of the release time. 11:20 left in first half and we go deep. Kennison is wide open down the right sideline and the camera finds him...1...2...3 full seconds of nobody but Kennison in the screen while he's waiting on the ball. Meanwhile the safety catches him and knocks it away.

Green would have had that ball in his chest immediately when he turned around and he'd have been gone. Remember that play against the Bills in 2003 when he stuck Dante Hall down the sideline on the same play? How about when he stuck Kennison on '04 against the Pats?

Receivers have to wait on Huard's passes. Not Green's.

1/7 for 2yds

FWIW, Trent Green has NEVER turned in this low of a passing percentage in any game he has ever played that he threw at least than 2 passes.

Huard - 39.4% pass completion today.

And you could have very easily added a couple of INT's to that performance if Miami could have caught the ball.

that one where Taylor almost stole the screen pass was rediculous. Huard didn't even glance that direction before lazily tossing it up in the air over there.
