Green goes to the Chiefs for the 12th pick.

Details are sketchy, but it's on cbssportsline.com now

DenverChief:

Beurlein, even though he is older than Green, in my mind is in better shape than Green.(I live here in Charlotte, so I hear more about Beurlein than most)

Plus, as someone else pointed out, he comes at a cheaper price, with proven leadership skills, and an ability to play past injuries. Green is [b]NOT[/b] going to make the difference between playoffs and being home in January. Beurlein, Holmes and our 1st round defensive pick we could be closer.

When Green goes down earlier in the year, or doesn't live up to the expectations that everyone has placed on his shoulders, I can't wait to see the excuses fly.

Then you must know he just had three surgurys? Shoulder,Elbow and Knee?

Actually if you go back then you know he has had more than that in the way of injuries...

But you are still missing my point!!!!!!!

[b]THE ASKING PRICE WAS TOO HIGH FOR AN UNPROVEN QB!!!![/b]

Doesn't it scare you that we are only one bad slip, one crushing tackle, or one odd bend of the knee away from Bubby Brister leading this team? Or that we had a greater need for a D-lineman? Or that, if you really look at it, Green is nothing more that a 2 year patch himself?

We needed to use that draft pick to get a lower 1st round pick and pick up a second rounder...

Mark,

I agree with your thoughts - I am not sold on Green either, but the situation you state above is clearly the situation with most NFL teams today. There are only so many Kurt Warners and Aaron Brooks, guys that step in and continue to win. Hell, even Brister did do okay when Griesmonkey went down.

Dammit - VD and his hoard of know-it-all's better take us to the playoff this freak'n year..... :D

WisChief:

You are absolutely right...But you realize we could have had Beurlein, Collins, and maybe a good QB like McMahon to groom for the future and still drafted a defensive stud...
