Ok... Green had 2 winning seasons as the QB in KC.
2001: 6 wins
2002: 8 wins
2003: 13 wins
2004: 7 wins
2005: 10 wins
Defense pretty much sucked in each of those years, but it wasn't just Green... you had a guy named Priest, remember him and all that production?
Hell, in 2003 when Green finally broke .500 in wins... Priest had 1400+ yds and 27 TDs rushing.
So, are we still putting all the glory on Trent for 2003?
Oh and in 2005, the other year over .500 ... some guy named LJ had 1700 yds and 20 TDs.
Still all Trent?
I'm not suggesting he sucked, but c'mon... he was very good, but seriously, those double digit seasons were helped out quite a bit with the nice RB production.
Denver has had issues for a few years now, which is why Shanahan is gone...
