Dolphins Trying to Sign Trent Green

Re: Dolphins Trying to Sign Trent Greene

If that is true then why is 37 year old Brett Favre always at the top of the league in interceptions in recent years. QB's careers are generally longer than they are at positions like running back, but like it or not, quarterback's skills do decline with age.

yeah really, if not why dont the miami fartheads resign marino!!

Re: Dolphins Trying to Sign Trent Greene

You choose one example??? Like that covers all older QB's?? Brett Favre is still better then half the QB's in the league. Why must you argue every little point as if you're some all knowing football guru?? God get over yourself. Go back and do a little studying before you calim older QB's can't compete and be successful well into their late 30's and early 40's.

Many championships have been won with those type of QB's. You're definatley showing your age if you need this expalined to you. I'm not going to do this for you, if you choose to remain un-eduated on the subject that's your choice but there's a history in the NFL of veteran QB's winning big games late in their careers. Trent Green has been very successful throughout his career, he is still capable of winning and playing at a high level, especially if he fits into a system well.

You are being ridiculous. To say that age has no affect on the play of a quarterback is ludicrous. There is a reason why when most QB's get up near 40 they become back ups if they are even playing at all.

And by the way, the chance of winning a Superbowl with an older quarterback who has yet to win one previously in his career are extremely slim. If you don't believe me then see for yourself.

When the hell did I say an older QB was better then a younger QB. You're the one who's ridiculous, you can't read or comprehend SIMPLE ENGLISH!! We aren't talking about Trent Green versus, Peyton Manning or Donavan McNabb. The argument is that you say QB's over the age of 35 suck. I say they Don't, I think they can win too, the problem is this is a young mans game, it doesn't mean you can't succeed as an older player, it's just teams are forced to replace their players. Trent Green "if" he came to Miami would be a backup, therefore he wouldn't be asked to start, but TO BACKUP!!! If he does have to start he's still capable of winning in the NFL. Obviously I'm right or their wouldn't be any QB on the list of older QB's that have won in the NFL above the avg age. If youth is better why is Favre still the man in Greenbay when they drafted a guy to replace him 2 years ago, obviously age has nothing to do with the decision. Maybe you should go to Greenbay and offer your superior knowledge of what an NFL QB "should be"!!! I'm sure they'd laugh in your face.

So their lack of success is due to Favre's age?? So because one player on the team isn't 25 years old anymore they are doomed??

Fins fans excited about Trent Green after they had Damon Huard all those years ago. The ironing is delicious.

point is you tried to hold up favre as an example of a QB who's had success as a QB into his late 30's. when both his team and individual stats have been in steady decline for years now ... i.e. as he has gotten older.

but you miami fart turds keep buying into your twisted logic and stay right there in the cellar where you belong.

Man, fans will just try to back up ANY move their teams make in order to not feel humiliated, won't they?


The only reason, and I mean the ONLY reason that Brett Favre is still playing is because he is a god in Green Bay and he wants top keep playing until he breaks all of Marino's records. He's on pact to set the career passing yards and td's records this year or next. If it weren't for those marks, he'd be gone already.

Has he hurt the Packers chances for success and rebuilding by doing this? He most certainly has. He's doing the same thing as Barry Bonds - hanging on well past his prime to break a record.

That said, most QB's, as they get up there, are still good, but not as great as the younger talents throughout the league. Problem with Green is, he's never been that great - never even won a single playoff game in many years of playing on very good teams. He's a guy that will hang up some pretty good numbers, but he's not a great leader or super clutch player.

Let's face it, at this point, the Dolphins are just trying to patch together a respectable team that can at least compete while they try to retool and somewhat rebuild under a new coaching regime. Trent Green is looked at as someone who can come in and play well for a few years while they find and develop a young stud. I see his acquisition as the beginning of the end for Culpepper in Miami, which is a good move by them. CPepp is a Hamhead.

Adding Porter was a good pickup, and Green would be a good stopgap move for buying time, but there are also a lot of cuts happening, and the Phins only hope is for 2-3 years from now to be a lot better.
