HogNose Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Would Trent Green still be our QB if he hadn't been caught up in the perfect storm which was the sale of the Redskins? Did not being able to sign him ruin us more than we realize? I always wonder what kind of situation we would be in today if we hadn't gone through all those QB changes. I know this has probably been discussed long before I found this forum...but at least it's not another free agency thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWinzit Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I have always felt he would have been our franchise QB for a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFan48 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I dont think he would still be our QB today but he would of lasted longer than he did. Hes been a pretty good QB over the years with not all that much talent WR wise around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

National Defense Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 yeah, we would have been an entirely different team in the late 90s if we didn't let green walk. just think-no trading of high draft picks for brad johnson first- and third-round draft choices in 99 and a second-round pick in 2000. a steep price to pay for a guy who gave us 2 good years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baculus Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 It is hard to tell, but there is a good chance that he would have still been with us. But it depends: For example, Brad Johnson had a pretty good season in 1999 (even though he faded a little in the second half), but in 2000, he had competition with Jeff George. I would say, though, that Trent Green had more ability then either of those two QBs (even though BJ was solid for what he did...). Like others, I am also disappointed that Green left during a transition period for the team, but it is really difficult to speculate to know if he would be with the team. He may have become injured (like he did for the Rams), cut by Steve Spurrier, or maybe would have become a multiple pro-bowl player for the team. It would have been interesting to have seen, though, how he would have developed with the Redskins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely would have been nice to have had those picks, as you mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSkins Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 No. Snyder would have wanted a bigger name at that point. If Brad Johnson wasn't good enough, Trent wouldn't have been either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Tough to say considering who was brought in to coach. However, if Trent did stick around, you wonder how that would have effected Norv's time as coach. Trent was the best QB out of the ones the Redskins had at the time, and arguably one of the best, (if not the best), of the one's brought in since. May have changed some results of games an d such,(though it's tough to think of a QB like Trent in an offense like Jimmy Raye's. :doh: ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 stability at the Qb position may have extended Norv's tenure and who knows what may have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
