Trent Green (1 Viewer)

All I know is that he's killing me. He was supposed to be the best QB in a 3 QB rotation this season, and instead he's just dead weight. To make matters worse, Huard is looking good and I'm wondering whether he'll continue to play even after Green returns given Green's age, the new coaching regime, and the thought that Huard might be a "QB of the future".
Has Herm said anything about Green's job when he returns?

Where have you read 4 weeks more for Trent? Just wondering.
Picked up Huard as a throw in for another deal - was shocked at his numbers. Not bad at all. With the new Hermified regime in place I think there is a chance for him to steal the job. You never know - Green isn't exactly young - how old is Huard? I think he's been around.
Huard looks like a solid #2 for a few weeks anyway.

What would Lemmy do?
Huard is 33 years old and is the definition of a journeyman. I highly doubt he would keep the job if Green comes back healthy. He is a stopgap at best IMO.

Wow, I thought he was younger than that. That's not that much younger than Green.

I don't have a link, but I live in KC. Trent began working out yesterday. Herm said he did some work on the treadmill. I would say we're looking at him being out a minimum of 2 more games. My guess is he is back for the Oakland game (week 7)

KC plays Oakland week 11.

It translates to playing in the NFL by meaning that, during games, he'll hear all the bells and whistles.

It really depends how well they are playing. If KC wins 2-4 more in a row and Huard plays at this level, I just don't see him going to the bench.

Remember, KC gets Oakland again in week 16. Superbowl, baby!

Crap. My bad, I didn't have a schedule I was looking at my season tickets and obviously looked at the wrong one!!

Huard lacks the deep threat. That's why the running game is struggling. Almost all of Huard's passes are the short, high percentage type. The few he has thrown deep...didn't look good. He's made a couple nice fade passes, some good sideline tosses, and a few over the middle that got the job done.But...teams aren't playing the pass. They're playing to stop LJ. That leaves most receivers in 1 on 1 coverage, safeties are cheating up, and Huard is simply taking what teams give him.There is no QB controversy in KC. I don't want to say KC has won in spite of him, because he has done really well. But...I think most people here realize that while the team has won a couple of games, Green still gives KC the best chance at winning overall when he's healthy.
This is exactly why I traded for him right after he got hurt. Hasselbeck is my starter and Green's schedule complemented his beautifully. In addition to his week 5 bye Hass had three tough matchups I wanted to avoid @ Chicago in week 4, @ Denver in week 13, and San Diego in week 16. KC played San Fran, Arizona, Cleveland, and Oakland those weeks. I knew it was a gamble but I thought Green had a chance of coming back by week 4 and playing Hasselbeck that week cost me my only loss of the season so far. At 4-1 I'm thinking playoffs so I'm still holding Green hoping he'll be back by week 13 but I'm starting to get a little nervous.

Huard goes straight to the bench... KC's "dumbed-down" their offense so much for DH. The only reason he's starts for more than the next 2 weeks is for precaution of Green's dome.

As reported in PFW following Trent Green’s concussion in the season opener, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Pro Bowl quarterback miss the entire month of October while recovering. As of this writing, Green had rejoined the team but was still expected to be a week or so away from being able to participate in practice. So, any game action before Week Eight, at the earliest, would be pushing it, from what we hear. In his place, Damon Huard, who had barely played since 2000 prior to Green going down, has displayed a calm demeanor on the field, patience in the pocket and timing of his throws, although he was less than impressive in a 45-7 loss at Pittsburgh in Week Six.

(Rotoworld) ESPN's John Clayton reports Trent Green (out, concussion) could return to practice next week and might be able to play by Week 9.
Impact: Green hasn't been cleared by doctors, which will be his next obstacle to climb. Expect Damon Huard to get at least two more starts.

Has there been the slightest rumor in Kansas City that Green may consider retiring after this year, considering his age, his concussion, and the Herman Edwards effect on the offense?
shadow2k
Footballguy
Uh...no. I do find it funny that it's Herm's effect on the offense, yet...people want to know when Green will come back because the offense will improve. I think maybe...just maybe...the effect on the offense might be due to Green being out, because Huard can't throw deep.Anyway, Green has begun throwing the football for the first time this week. But he's still not practicing with the team. No timetable for return.

Actually, I think the new Herm effect is on QB health. Under him last year, the Jets lost 2 QBs for the season within several snaps/ Then Trent didn't even make it through Week One.

Huard had another very good game - he is currently a top 10 QB in my league points wise. With Green still at least 2 games away - how many of you are using Huard in your starting lineup? I have been sitting him on my bench as a backup and am kicking myself watching him outscore my starter.
With Hass's injury I am in the market for another QB but instead of going out and landing another #1QB like Delhome why not just stick with the KC QB? Just a little nervous that when Green comes back there will be a down tick in numbers as he gets comfortable - right around fantasy playoffs!

I'm not so sure that Green is two weeks away since he has been cleared to practice this week. I do not know what the Herm Edwards line is between cleared to practice and game ready, that's up for debate.

ESPN the mag had a little blurb about this, it seems his family is worried about him.

But Green said Sunday that realistically, he probably won’t be back until at least the Miami game on Nov. 12.
“I talk to the neurosurgeons a couple of times a week,” Green said. “Next week I’ll have another checkup after going through this course of practice and see how this feels. I’m really kind of on their timeline.”

I may start Huard over Eli soon. If Green isn't back. They have some good matchups soon.

Chris Mortensen also reported yesterday that Green said he was more than two weeks away... anhour after I piced him back up.

My knee jerk reaction after Hass got hurt was to trade for a QB like Palmer or Delhome - but closer examination of the Chief schedule and performance of Huard has me rethinking it and just sticking with KC - really like their matchup this week and down the stretch as much as any out there.

If they can get past @ STL, the schedule is nice.@ MIA - KC doesnt play well in Florida (hurricane in '05 is an anomaly) historically, but MIA might be bad enough to win down there.
vs. OAK-A bad team in Arrowhead
vs. DEN on Thanksgiving night - Arowhead will be JACKED UP for that game....Home team usually wins in this series.
@ CLE - a trap game, as I like CLEV more than most, but should be a winner.
then it gets tough
vs. BAL
@ SD
@ OAK
vs. JAX
I only see one game KC will be a sure bet to lose, that being @ SD.
Don't sleep on KC down the stretch.
If Trent could get back ~ vs. DEN, it coul d be a HUGE boost to KC. And remember that John Welbourn is coming back, so that helps Huard protection wise.

Is this certain then? I've seen indications that he could, not that he is.

Injured Chiefs quarterback Trent Green was hopeful last week that he could return for next week's game at Miami, but he said after Sunday's game that he wouldn't play until the Nov. 19 game against the Raiders at the earliest. -- Kansas City Star

WW moves are coming to a close in some of my league after week 11 and I just traded for Hass to cure my QB woes - I may snag TGreen this week if I miss out on my claim for AThomas, but I have Romo, and KC has a REALLY hard schedule for QBs, so keep that in mind if you are counting on making Green your sneaky FPlayoffs QB pick up - that may backfire on you.
