jimster Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 I could definitely see Kurt Warner going to KC with Green and Vermeil part II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kappaluvacee Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 I thought I saw a news clip on ESPN a couple weeks ago of Vermeil saying he wouldn't mind having Kurt if he were available, but his team is strapped financially like most other teams this time of year and that having Kurt is not a luxury that they can afford.

dissonance19 Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 What a turn of a events that would be. After what happened with Warner taking over for Green when he got hurt...Now 5 yrs later Warner is brought back in to back him up again and barring any injury Green is the man.

Shotgunner Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 I think Collins would do well in Norv's system. He is an accurate guy just give him as little protection. I'm glad he's not going to Dallas, advantage Skins!:point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, I think of how different the Skins would've been if we'd have kept Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnacpa Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Skins tried to keep Green ... but he decided to sign with St. Louis. Then we grabbed Brad Johnson which was great, but he got into the public war of words with Danny and was let go his second season. Then replaced by Jeff George ... what an ugly downturn. Shottenheimer then replaced George with Tony Banks. Now we have Ramsey and Brunnell .... It is like we are finally being rewarded with the promise land after 40 years in the desert (ok, 12 in DC without competitive football ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Warner could go to Miami......sign for incentives and win that starting job....lean on that running game and throw up some passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitman56 Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Warner is finished. He can't hold on to the ball anymore thanks to Lavar. He's a backup at best. Probably third string. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamebreaker Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Lavar wasn't the one that messed his thumb up. He did that in the playoffs a few years ago. He threw a pass and his thumb slammed right into the helmet of an oncoming rusher. He would've been fine if he would've just came off the field and had surgery done to it. Yet he decided to continue playing on it, and it kept getting hit and got worse and worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
