Trent Green has been medically cleared to play Sunday, but Herm Edwards is keeping it a secret if Green or Huard will start against Oakland.

Huard has played exceptionally well in Green's absence, going 5-3 as the starter and keeping the Chiefs in play off contention.

Should Green, the Chiefs recognized leader , rusty after being out of action for 10 weeks, get his job back?

I hate to see a guy lose is job due to an injury, but Huard has been getting the job done in Green's absents...

I'm torn on this one and don't envy Herm Edwards having to make this call.

Huard had a bad game on Sunday, which may make the decision easier for Edwards. The hot hand is no longer hot, so putting Green back in could be justified. That said, I personally would stick with Huard, because of how well he's played overall during Green's absence.

Huard did well in Green's absence, but Trent is the QB of the Chiefs, Huard's horrible play this past Sunday will justify, hoefully, Herm placing Green under center

As much as I hate a two QB system, maybe Sundays game against the Raiders would be a good one for Green to have the chance to get his "sea legs" back, playing in the 2nd half, depending on the score, of course. If Huard contiues to falter, the for sure get Green back in there ASAP.

Since Huard has cooled down, I may give Green a chance to prove he can play. It would be this week for sure since they are playing the Raiders. If he comes back this week, he should have a good game and get some confidence back.

Huard has been a career backup for a reason, and he needs to sit back down until called upon again.

He's been playing well thoug, legend. I can see him being a starter down the road, either in KC or elsewhere.

I would give Trent Green a few games to recover.

I hate the whole can't lose your job to injury thing. It's idiotic. Sure it sucks somebody got hurt but they might not be necessarily be the same player when they come back. If they are the best player when they come back then yes, if not no, stick with the guy that is winning.
In this case however I believe defenses have wised up to Damon Huard and Trent Green is the best option for this team.

Whoa...slow down, all I was saying is a guy shouldn't lose his job "just" because of an injury. I agree, try him out, it may be another Rothlesberger thing where the guy just can't get it together after an injury.

Just announced on ESPN...Green will start.

[Lefty Noob]

Yeah, I kind of expected that. Huard had a bad game at the perfect time for Green, and for Herm Edwards for that matter.

[VaTechNut]

Now I'm curious to see if he plays the entire game or does he get yanked as soon as he fumbles, tosses up an INT, or gets sacked (unlikely from the Raiders).

Could this be another one of those Rothlesberger things??/

Guys, it's not like Huard is a young guy. He is 33! and never strayed far from the bench his whole career. Look at the decline in Larry Johnson, who I think is the game's best running back or at least in the top three, in his yards per carry from last year. Without the threat of Green in the lineup, teams have been able to concentrate on Johnson and dare Huard to beat them. He is beginning to be exposed, and now that Gonzalez is out, it will just get worse. Did he do a good job? Yes. Is it time to sit back down? Yes.
