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

I might be wrong, but I would bet that the Lions would take Andre Johnson over Charles Rogers right about now.

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

So he threw a bunch of frisbees 21 yards? Big deal, I could do that. The trick was getting them all to go to the same place like that.

Ok so he can throw it the equal of 91mph. That's relevant how exactly?

It doesn't matter if you can throw it through a wall if the ball is nowhere near it's target.

Uh...we're talking about arm strength. Trent doesn't have a rag arm. Anyone that's not a moron knew that before this thread, but we're making sure everyone knows now.

Apparently some people can't understand the simple message relayed to them in a thread title, gc. Go figure.

That one was right on target, so what's your problem with Green?

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.

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.

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.

tk13 · 11-23-2005, 10:05 PM

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.
