The Kansas City Chiefs Choose Green Over Huard for Oakland Game

9
Vote

The Kansas City Chiefs informed FOX Sports today that Trent Green would be named starter for Sunday's game at home against the Oakland Raiders, ending a month of speculation over what had become a fan controversy. Back-up Damon Huard has performed admirably in Green's absense, throwing for 1824 yards, 11 touchdowns, and only 1 interception over 9 games.

We can now thank Damon Huard for a job well done and turn the team back over to Green. The team will improve with this move, as he has five years of experience in utilizing all the different pieces of this offense. I think he'll handle the absence of Gonzo better than Huard would have.

If Green is in shape, and not shell shocked, this will be a good move for the Chiefs to get some stability back onto the field.

watch this team flop. This is a bad move. Huard led this team through a good stretch and they bench him? Bad move by Herm.

This is what everybody is not getting. It's not an issue of "benching" Huard, it's an issue of NOT benching Green.

Id like to see if Herm pulls this same move if Huard does not have a bad game last sunday

Cool, Trent Green was my top fantasy QB at the start of the year, but now with Grossman and Rivers, I'll look to trade him.

Est: What do you think will be Brodie Croyle's future in KC? Clipboard-holder?

Clipboard holder for now for sure. I figure Huard will get his payout and we'll be back to having a crappy backup in no-time (a-la Fraud Collins). I have no idea what Brodie's long-term future will be and we may not know for 2-3 more years. He started a fair amount of games in college, two full seasons it looks like. His college completion percentage is below 60 (56.2), so that's not a good argument for him. 7.34 yards per attempt isn't too bad. 41 touchdowns to 22 interceptions is reasonable. In short, I still don't know, but as the rookie QB projection article in this years Pro Football Prospectus explains, I'd feel better if his completion percentage were up and he'd played at least a third full season. I think a lot of Chiefs fans are just happy the team has finally put some effort into a young player at the position. Now either he or Casey Printers needs to not be a bust, and it's not looking good for Printers.

Another note. I caught this week's episode of "Inside the NFL" last night and Peter King says Herm is rushing it with Green. My response: How is two months rushing it?!? I don't remember the last time a concussion victim got this much time and waited for this much medical clearance to return. Most coaches thing "well, no bones are broken, so get back in there!", or they let the player return when he wants (BenRo). I feel like the team treated the concussion correctly.
