I DO like alot of things about Green.....I like that he appears to be a "team player", I like that he is a good "community guy"(so is Dilfer)...I like that he accepts responsibility when he screws up, I like his heart....diving head first for the endzone to win the game.....
Green recieved several cheers from me, and comments on the shots he took and got back up.... Don't lump me in the "green sucks" crowd.....But feel free to put me in the "Green isn't Quarterback Jesus" club. I see several positions that I'd like to see improved with outside players Before Green if that makes you feel any better. |

The hell they don't. I'm willing to bet that this is about the only message board you visit with any regularity if you think that is the case. Brian Griese has won 7 games for us, and he gets criticized each and every game for the stuff he didn't do right... There are Dolphins fans, who despite going on a skid with Lucas, still criticize Fiedler for some of the stuff they think he does wrong. On the San Francisco board, there are fans who call Jeff Garcia a loser who will never be able to take them to the big game. The stuff I read about Green is pretty mild compared to what a lot of the other teams do. He certainly doesn't have it any worse in KC than if he were in Denver or Miami. |

Then fans have unrealistic expectations. Nitpicking every pass is BS.
Of course this the only football board I frequent....Why would I go anywhere else? And besides how is that relevant? You have 8000 posts here, your own board, and visit all those others sites? You need to get out more, bud. |

Why would Chiefs' fans care what those other QB's do?
As for whether or not other cities scrutinize their QB the way we do? You bet your ASS they do. |

I would agree... My point is, it isn't an exclusive thing to Kansas City. So when you say: Quote:

Amen to that. If you don't believe it, pop into the Orangemane, or Finheaven and read the exact same arguments you read here, only about Griese and Fiedler. |

I'm gonna take that one step further Taco...
Griese takes some shit, and I would guess that Chiefs' fans are marginally harder on Green... But NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE in the NFL takes more shit from fans than Fiedler. Green has it good compared to him. |

I would agree with that... Griese has a pretty decent base of support, though he's got PLENTY of detractors. The difference is, however, Griese has been winning games. If the Broncos were 5-4 or worse right now, it would be just as bad or worse than what Green is taking now... even though there are plenty of Broncos fans who are rejoicing his injury...
Fiedler takes a lot of crap too... But his supporters have been laying the wood to his bashers, especially after Lucas got in and went on such a horrible skid. |

The play of the QB has EVERYTHING to do with next years contract and the money expected. While "statistically" Green is a top 10 QB....I can tell you that it is easier to "manipulate opinion" with statistics than it is in mapping....I can change a color scheme and sway opionion with 3 button clicks. its all relative, and I for one hope the coaches/management look at the big picture more than "rating". |

Of course, some of these other QBs can actually throw to their WRs. |

Of course, they also might be wanting to spoon Green in the shower, which we know destroys all logic. |
