mi6 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 In hindsight, this off season should the Skins gone after Trent Green to serve as the backup QB and mentor for Jason? Personally, I think it would have been an outstanding move that would have made good sense. 1/ Gibbs likes veterans, and Trent is one 2/ Trent knows Al Saunders offense and ran it very effectively. 3/ Trent is more talented than Mark Boonell, and Todd Collins. What are your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mi6 Posted August 19, 2007 Author Share Posted August 19, 2007 In my opinion, he would have done alot more than Boonell. The million dollar question is whether or not he would be willing to play backup. I have the feeling that if the price was right he would. And, he certainly would be much more valuable in grooming Jason - after all he flourished in Al's system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 If he was in the middle of his career, I'd have said yes. But he's on the down side, and we need to secure a young QB for a decade more or less if we're to compete consistantly over a span of time. Getting Green would have just put that on hold for a season or two. Better to take some lumps with Jason now, and see what he can do in a complete season, with all the prep work, and on field training with the first team.

Blondie Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 What ifs and should we have are really hard questions to answer. It is never as easy as is stated by the poster. There are always contingencies........and options.......and considerations. My thought is NO. He would never have wanted to back up JC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin11 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 hmm, Maybe if we kept Green when he was on our team in 1995... Stop looking back at things and look at this season. Who cares! Whats done is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isle-hawg Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 In hindsight, we should have never let Trent Green go in the first place when he was originally a Redskin.My :2cents: John Kent Cooke made him a big bucks offer to re-sign but the buttheads who were overseeing the Estate of JKC said no until a permanent owner was identified, so he left for the big $$ in STL instead.:mad: As to should we have brought him back now on the backside of his career, answer no. We likely already have to highest price pair of 2nd and 3rd string QB's in the league. It would of cost more bucks to cut either, taken a bundle to sign him (money better spent on locking up Cooley) as others stated Greene wanted to be a starter:2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM916 Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 No more 40 year olds, you won't get very far on such a short term plan. Should we have resigned him ten years ago? Probably but it's far too late for that now. Palmer for third string by 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terpfan Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 We already have two past their prime QBs. Besides, like someone mentioned, he didnt want to be the backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC girl Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 No we don't need another old QB, we have two of those...thanks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 If we brought in Green, it would immediately start a QB contraversy, and would show lack of confidence in Campbell. Bringing in Green is the absolute last thing we would need to do, tie up more money in the QB position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USS Redskins Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 More hindsight - What if we never let him go in '99? Who knows? My big regret is that the Skins didnt think about Drew Brees. Dude threw for 4400 yards last year!!! He is now one of the best in the game and an experienced but young Veteran QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJeremy Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Why is perhaps an option and why did 4 people make that choice?....these are Yes and No questions....perhaps??!... that is a freakin' cop-out. Make a choice and stick with it. My answer is NO. Green is as done as Brunell at this point in his career. MOVE ON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your thoughts? get out of here. That is why he wanted out of KC and then he comes to DC to be the backup. I mean think this thing to the end!!!!!!!! BTW Collins is better than green.

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Why does Jason even need a "mentor" at this point? He's been in the league three years now. He should know how to read a safety blitz and find a hooker on the road by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
