Title: Crappy QB quandary
Post by SufferinBears_Fan on Oct 26^th, 2003, 9:52am

O.K. here's a chance for y'all to earn your stripes. Who do you play this week? Trent Green vs. that Bills D or Brian Griese vs. that Charger D (It's pretty much a given Griese's starting right?) ?.?.?

Yes, at this point in time, it looks like Griese will be starting. Regardless, I would start Trent Green. I realize Buffalo has only given up 152.7 YPG passing vs. San Diego at 226.3 YPG but (IMO) Buffalo really hasn't played many high powered passing offenses. Also, Griese has hasn't started a game all season and is a huge gamble. 8-)

If it were my team, I'd start Trent Green. The Chiefs are tough at home and that game has shootout written all over it. It's just too soon to take a chance on Griese, especially with a solid option like Green. Good luck and welcome to the Gridiron! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Definitely agree with Walker Boh on this one. Play it safe with Green.

Looks like we all agree. Gotta go with Green. ESPECIALLY since Griese has not OFFICIALLY been named starter.

Not to mention how much practice has Griese really had all year. He may make the game look like a preseason game.

Go with Trent Green.....there is a chance at a shootout in this game.

Thansk guys, that's pretty much what I thought, just wasn't too sure about how good the Bills D is. Doesn't sound like you guys respect it too much, so I'll go with Green.

I'm counting on McAllister, George and Domanick Davis to get the bulk of my points this week anyway (well, McAllister and Davis).

Last minute chime in... I agree with the consensus... Go with Green. Just more of a sure thing! Griese could come out VERY rusty even if the long-term holds good things for him in Miami!

Also, WELCOME Mr. SufferinBears Fan! [smiley=bow.gif] Nice to meet you! I think you will like it 'round these parts. However, I must say that I don't know about those stripes of yours that you are referring to... Stripes have been being earned 'round here long before anybody comin' 'round now has showed up. ;)
