Trent Green.....


ADF

Recommended Posts

One of the reasons he didn't stick around was the fiasco with the ownership changing over from the Cooke family to Milstein/Snyder to Snyder. He got tired of waiting around for the ownership to give him a contract, whoever that was going to be.

I still sit around thinking "what the hell" with the whole Trent Green situation.

A)Norv should have had him playing prior to 1998. I remember on Redskins report in 1995 Riggins saying that he looked the best in a preaseason game even if it was 3rd stringers.

B) The whole ownership fiasco unfourtantley did force him out. Got a sweet deal from his home town

C) Those 3 picks could have been crucial. Could have been McFarland (doubtful because of dumb and dumber on our dline) or Jevon Kearse. Another 2nd and 3rd round pick in that draft would have been dynamite.

Really who knows what would have happened but of all the mistakes the FO has made over the past few years I think letting TG go was one of the biggest

Trent Green didn't really blossom until Martz coached him up in '98. He was awful at the beginning, but by the end of the season it was obvious he had matured into a pro-bowl QB. While everyone was gushing over Jake Plummer that year, Green had much better stats for the 2nd half of the year.

You have to hand it to Martz. For all his faults and arrogance, he is the best at developing QBs since Gibbs.

First of all Trent is playing behind arguably the best OL in the league. They are simply fantastic.

Secondly, the REASON that line is so good is because the same five guys have taken every snap for the past 25 games. That's simply unheard of, and not something you can plan for.

So if you want to blame someone for Trant looking so good now, blame God. :)

Everyone forgets that there was no ownership when Trent' contract was up, John Cooke's hands were tied by the Board of Trustees at that time preventing any players from being signed even our own players. By the time it all got figured out month's later Trent was snatched up by Vermeil and the Rams:(
