With Huard Thriving, T. Green Possibly Could Return as Backup
For weeks, Kansas City Chiefs Coach Herman Edwards said that Trent Green would regain the team's starting quarterback job when he was available to play.
Now, with fill-in starter Damon Huard thriving, Edwards no longer is saying that.
The subject came up at Edwards's news conference Tuesday, and he said he would make the decision when the time comes. Green, who's been sidelined since suffering a concussion in the season-opening game, might be cleared next week to play.
Huard has led the Chiefs to five wins in his seven starts and is the NFL's second-rated passer, behind only the Indianapolis Colts' Peyton Manning. He has thrown 11 touchdown passes and only one interception this season.
Green made 81 consecutive starts before getting hurt.

We already had Trent Green. He didn't fit in with the Redskins, he threw too many complete passes and touchdowns. We prefer washed up has beens to head up our team. Just like Bush in Iraq, Bush wants to stay the course and leave the bum in. That's okay, if we need to throw it down the field we can always hand it off to Randall El. Any Skins QB who performs well will be replaced pronto. As long as they're a christian, that's the important thing. We already have a QB but Gibbs refuses to let him play even though the season is toast.

I too would like to see what Jason Campbell can do; but Brunell is not the reason the 'Skins aren't winning. His qb rating is about 12th in the league. I would like to see Gibbs go back to having more control of the offense. He didn't become a Hall-of-Famer for no reason.

Our offense isn't the biggest problem, it is true. The defense has been. But we shouldn't be deceived by quarterback ratings. Those little dinks and dunks that count as completions may very well be a result of Brunell not having the confidence to zip the ball into an opening down the field. But as for Campbell, the coaches see him all the time. Maybe he's just not good enough either. I'm thinking that if he was showing something big in practices, he'd be in there already.

Archuleta is the biggest bust since what's-his-face, the QB they drafted from Tenessee. Horrible defense. No push up front, and noone that can cover one-to-one. Spring's honeymoon is over, and now he is as useless from injuries as he was in Seattle. Rogers hasn't shown the number one pick skills he was drafted to be although not bad against the run.

What happens if Huard takes the team to the SuperBowl. Trent Green will have suffer that ignominy twice.

There are a lot of former Redskins quarterbacks out there, besides Trent Green, that had pretty good runs. Brad Johnson won a Super Bowl with Tampa Bay. Rich Gannon, another former Redskin, was his opponent with the Raiders. I think I just saw Sage Rosenfels throw three touchdowns in a game recently when he came in to replace David Carr in Houston. Stan Humphries took San Diego to a Super Bowl a few years ago. Why the Redskins cannot land a franchise quarterback (what, since Theismann?) is beyond me!
