Given the way that Brees has played the last few years, I clearly can't say that you'd have been wrong to make that choice, but I still think the Trent Green acquisition was a win for the Chiefs. And this is from someone who was underwhelmed by it, to say the least, at the time.

I just don't know how you can say that when Brees would have given us likely 10 years of production instead of the 3 that Green really gave.
I liked Trent Green, but you need more than 3 productive years out of a first rounder for it to be a win.
