F*ck you doubters. He plays with heart, and he continues to get the job done. You people who bash Green, I don't even consider true fans. He plays his heart out every Sunday, and you continue to bash him...
I DO like alot of things about Green.....I like that he appears to be a "team player", I like that he is a good "community guy"(so is Dilfer)...I like that he accepts responsibility when he screws up, I like his heart....diving head first for the endzone to win the game.....
Green recieved several cheers from me, and comments on the shots he took and got back up....
Don't lump me in the "green sucks" crowd.....But feel free to put me in the "Green isn't Quarterback Jesus" club.
I see several positions that I'd like to see improved with outside players Before Green if that makes you feel any better. [Reply]

The hell they don't. I'm willing to bet that this is about the only message board you visit with any regularity if you think that is the case. Brian Griese has won 7 games for us, and he gets criticized each and every game for the stuff he didn't do right... There are Dolphins fans, who despite going on a skid with Lucas, still criticize Fiedler for some of the stuff they think he does wrong. On the San Francisco board, there are fans who call Jeff Garcia a loser who will never be able to take them to the big game.
The stuff I read about Green is pretty mild compared to what a lot of the other teams do. He certainly doesn't have it any worse in KC than if he were in Denver or Miami. [Reply]

Trent is the #10 QB in the league right now. If he finishes in the top ten then why wouldn't he deserve to be paid like a top ten QB? But then I don't think Trent will be hard to deal with in regards to doing a cap friendly contract. And what does next years contract have to do with Trents play right now? Why does money have to even be brought into the argument at this point? It really has nothing to do with what Trent is doing for and with the team right now. Trent is leading as good as any QB in the league right now IMO. And that's what really matters IMO.
Then fans have unrealistic expectations. Nitpicking every pass is BS.
Of course this the only football board I frequent....Why would I go anywhere else? And besides how is that relevant? You have 8000 posts here, your own board, and visit all those others sites?

Amen to that. If you don't believe it, pop into the Orangemane, or Finheaven and read the exact same arguments you read here, only about Griese and Fiedler. [Reply]
I would agree with that... Griese has a pretty decent base of support, though he's got PLENTY of detractors. The difference is, however, Griese has been winning games. If the Broncos were 5-4 or worse right now, it would be just as bad or worse than what Green is taking now... even though there are plenty of Broncos fans who are rejoicing his injury...
Fiedler takes a lot of crap too... But his supporters have been laying the wood to his bashers, especially after Lucas got in and went on such a horrible skid. [Reply]

I think what was intimated was that these Greenbashers would rather have any QB in the NFL other than Green. They don't bother to look at the poor decisions, stats, etc. that other QB's have, they just know anyone would be better. Kind of a 'grass is greener' thing(no pun intended). [Reply]

The play of the QB has EVERYTHING to do with next years contract and the money expected.
While "statistically" Green is a top 10 QB....I can tell you that it is easier to "manipulate opinion" with statistics than it is in mapping....I can change a color scheme and sway opionion with 3 button clicks.
its all relative, and I for one hope the coaches/management look at the big picture more than "rating". [Reply]

Of course, some of these other QBs can actually throw to their WRs. [Reply]

I know that many people don't have much faith in the coaching staff, but I'd be pretty confident in their ability to see the big, big picture. We, the fans, see a big picture. They see much more in watching gamefilm repeatedly, being privy to who made the mistake on each poor play, and generally having more football knowledge than we do (as painful as that realization may be for some people:-) )
Of course, they also might be wanting to spoon Green in the shower, which we know destroys all logic. [Reply]
