For all the reeruns complaining about Trent Green's "rag arm" - Page 4

The weirdest thing about this thread is that the screen cap looks eerily like a Madden screencap. When I first saw it, I thought GC had recreated the scenario from the game on Madden.

That being said, this MLB equivalent BS has to be some of the stupidest crap I've ever seen.

Well you see, in order to win the SB you need BLUE CHIP DRAFT PICKS. What we need to do is tank the rest of this season, and then go 0-16 next year. That way we get two BLUE CHIP DRAFT PICKS, and by 2007 we will be SB bound!!

That was the point, genious (he wasn't a high draft pick).

Well Lamar is definitely succeeding in making it horrifyingly difficult. 35 years since we smelled the Super Bowl is not even close to easy.

I remember hearing how weak of arm Trent Green has, and I believed it. However, when I watched him in the QB Challenge a couple of seasons ago, he out-distanced many QB's in the long bomb portion of the competition. When he gets a chance to step into it, and let it go, his arm is plenty strong enough.

Exactly.....just how rough a ride and how much longer does the ride have to last??? Im tired of being the Chicago Cubs of the NFL.

I agree....like i mentioned in an earlier post, hes just NOT accurate throwing the deep out down the sidelines at all. He does however throw really good down the middle of the field which is where about 95% of his longer throws usually go.

I agree with this except that he doesn't always overthrow his receivers. He sometimes underthrows them significantly. The deep pass just isn't his strong suit

Not this year, I wanted them to lose games last year after about the 7th loss, course then they started winning. That of course is not the same thing as throwing games. I would never favor that.

I didn't think so. Fans hoping for losses after the season is lost is different from the team "tanking games". If I ever thought that the team was intentionaly throwing games no matter the record or the benifit of the draft, I would be done with them for sure.

I wonder if Trent would have better numbers along the sidelines if we had better WR's. Trent's QB rating when throwing to each sideline is below 70. He's got a 109.5 rating down the middle of the field though.

He's actually 8-12 with a 109.7 rating on passes thrown 20-30 yards. Pretty good actually. If you want your "I never would've guessed" stat of the week, Trent Green is 10-23 passing beyond 20 yards. Peyton Manning is 10-34 passing beyond 20 yards. Although Manning has 6 TD/3 INT in that range. Trent's just got 0 TD/1 INT. Kinda shows how we can't throw downfield as much though...

Surprising stat. Especially with his wide outs and their ability for the run after catch.
