Hindsight 20/20: Was it a mistake to bench Huard? - Page 8

Believer · 12-17-2006, 10:12 AM

I know. I know. Huard had a bad game at Miami. But in 2001 Brady came off a so-so game vs St.Louis as the Patriots fell to 5-5, but Belichick saw the whole picture, that the Patriots had turned around a 0-2 start by going 5-3 under Brady.

there are good arguments for either side, but i think, since Green has only really had one good game, and last week he stunk to high heaven, its a valid question. Would Huard have had 2 picks, a fumble, and a bunch of sacks?

He wasnt the passer Green is, but he managed the game better and helped the defense.

Just throwing it out there...

just some info from the past :
The Kansas City Chiefs signed Gannon to a free-agent deal in the spring of 1995. For two years, the "journeyman" quarterback received limited action in his backup role.

That scenario changed in 1997, when Gannon earned nine starts and won six of them, including a five-game winning streak that enabled the Chiefs to claim an AFC West title.

He picked up 10 more starts in '98, passing for a then-career best 2,305 yards.

"I played quite a bit in my last two years in Kansas City, and finally catapulted myself into a position where teams were considering me as a starter," he recalled.

One person in particular was Raiders head coach John Gruden. Gruden, the Eagles' offensive coordinator from 1995 to 1997, was the only coach to give Gannon a chance to start full time in the NFL.

Inked by Oakland in 1999, Gannon tied hall-of-famer Ken Stabler for the team record for completions in a season (304) and threw for a career-best 3,840 yards.

It might be deja vu regarding Huard , I bet the raiders would take him in a minute , Peterson's a dumbass ................

Hasselbeck was only in his third season when Holmgren went to Seattle.

oh, im sorry, did i bump this thread by accident? My apologies. I wouldnt want anyone to think it was a mistake to go back to Pro Bowl QB Trent Green. Nothing of the kind. Not me. Would never do it or imply such a ridiculous thing.

Hammock Parties · 12-23-2006, 10:57 PM

Did you folks see that great touchdown pass Trent threw tonight? Huard would have been sacked.

Oh Snap · 12-23-2006, 11:18 PM

This team was a contender with Huard taking snaps under center.

I still don't think there's any reason to feel Huard would've done any better. He went 2-3 in road games, and he didn't look good against good defenses on the road, which were the three losses. In those games, he was 48-93 passing, that's 51.6%, 0 TD, 1 INT. Then he beat Arizona on the road, whoopie, and he won in St. Louis... and in that game, 11 of the first 12 offensive plays were runs and he ended up with 15 pass attempts. He tore it up at home, but that's how we usually play.

There you go again, assuming the un-assumable. (If that's a word, or a term)

Let's not kid ourselves, Tk13. You are a very good poster, and I know that...and you are well informed...but Huard would've gotten this team to the playoffs, and I think we both know that.
