And how'd that turn out? Oh and for the record, Norv Turner, Mike Martz and Dick Vermeil disagree. As should anyone with a ****ing brain. |

Green had SO MANY questions marks surrounding him when he came to KC. He was far from a sure thing, and fans including yourself, were ready to hang him after year one in KC. Your statement and argument is simply pathetic. Posted via Mobile Device |

but the point i always think gets missed is that guys have 'something' or don't...and stats really don't capture it Green didn't have the 'it' that great QBs have...but he had a little 'bit of it' in his fearless pocket presence and lazer accuracy in the 15 to 30 yard range...he wanted to go down field and make plays, and could throw ropes into tight spaces..he saw the whole field imo, Cassel has no 'it' of any kind...he's just a guy who looks likes he doesn't know what his own best talent is....hence the confusion, delay, holding the ball, indecision....not to mention that he is simply poor throwing the ball down field.. and so - to me - it all seems like a waste of time to try and find historical precedents for Cassel...sure, there are situations that appear similiar, but the difference that matters is within the players...and - again imo - Cassel has nothing in common with good QBs....he's just a guy with a fresh face and no 'it' whatsoever...

I'd love to hear from some other old-timers on this. I really don't recall a lot of people - or any people - saying that Trent Green was an established quarterback when we traded for him. I recall mostly shock. I wish we could do more effective searches of old threads, but I think maybe the threads from that era all died.

What, were you 16 years old in 1998? Did you even WATCH the Redskins that year? How about 2000? 18 years old? Did you even WATCH the Rams? You're clueless. Shut the **** up before you further embarrass yourself. |

The "it" he had over there was a couple of all-pro receivers.

Clausen maybe, but Sanchez is not going to be anything more than an average game manager.

There was NO shock here on CP. As a matter of fact, I started a few threads before Free Agency began asking the following question: Trent Green & Priest Holmes or Trent Dilfer & Deuce McCallister? People seemed split because Deuce was a fan favorite at #12 overall and Dilfer had just won the Super Bowl. It was evident from the day that Vermeil and Saunders were hired that their top priority was Trent Green. They gave a little lip service about Elvis but as soon as he opted out, EVERYONE knew Green was coming. NO ONE was surprised or shocked, although a very small minority of us (Milkman included) preferred Drew Brees at the time at #12 and not Green or the Deuce. |

Dane's definition of success..."3500 yards passing, 24 TDs, 11 INT's on a 6-10 team". Oh and don't forget that 2,000 yards as a backup in 5 games that solidified Green as a can't miss, legitimate starter. As always...stay classy and continue to conduct yourself as a 50 year old adult!

lots of qbs have put up #s and won games without - and i'm now abusing the word - 'it' Grbac, who i think is a much better QB than Cassel, put up big #'s and won some games...and had none of 'it' i guess i feel like it is something you can see even when a guy plays like shit, ...and i've never seen it in cassel i now i swear i won't use the word 'it' again today...
