Well it looks inevitable.

Though I'm excited about the upcoming draft, I'm still in a quandry as to why adding Trent Green is deemed an upgrade at the QB spot. Media outlets have been reporting that the trade for Trent Green will happen before the draft in 2 weeks.

There has been speculation as to what the Fins will do with their first pick. There are many options, but it all depends on who may fall to them at the 9 spot. Brady Quinn, Adrian Peterson? Heck yeah. Who knows, that is all up in the air. Don't look for the Phin's to trade up though, they need all of the picks they have acumulated.

There is little speculation though that the Fins will look to pick up a young QB in the 2nd round either with their pick at 40 or 60 if Quinn is not available to them in the first round. So, we bring in Trent Green for a temporary 1 year go at the QB position and allow the rookie to mature and learn while riding the bench. This whole situation just doesn't feel good.

Putting on rosy colored glasses and ignoring all sensable logic, Green has at most a year left in the tank. More realistically, however, is the fact that he is a 37 year old QB returning from a concussion that many other's would have retired over. So essentially the Phin's are willing to sell out Daunte for a temporary and hopeful 1 year stopgap, praying the kid will be able to take over the reigns next year? Ouch. So what happens next year at this time? Are we still riding a 38 year old Green or are we again looking at yet another used QB to mentor, help develop, and/or back up our young QB? Are we then giving up another draft pick to secure that backup vetran QB?

What this really boils down to is whether the kid going to really learn Cameron's prefered pocket QB style better from Green over Daunte? Maybe so, but is it really worth the cost? Cameron should be able to groom his young QB despite who is starting for us this year.

Heck the Fins are rolling the dice anyway with this upcoming season. Does anyone really expect them to be contenders in the AFC East this year? Trent Green is going to change that? Why not go with what they already have and 'rebuild' with their picks rather than wasting them for a temporary and doubtful solution?

I keep trying to look at the possible aquisition of Green and just can't find any positive spin on it.

I'm currently working here in KC and let me tell you, everyone here is praying the Phin's waste picks on aquiring Green. They act almost as if they are getting away with something. KC doesn't want Green and hope to rob some team that does. They are looking for Carl Peterson to pull off a miracle to resurrect his floundering reputation. Cash in on Green and Cameron's realtionship, get more than he is worth. Oh and do it quickly before the Phin's realize the mistake they are making. Nevermind the fact that they chose Huard, a Miami castoff, over Green for their starting position. Trying to get starter compensation for someone they wouldn't start themselves.

Well it should be an interesting couple of weeks. I just hope it is a positive couple of weeks and not regretful.
