Just Like 'Cap' Rooney, Trent Green has "3 or 4 More Years"

What is it about ageing Quarter Backs? It's like they just don't get the memo or something.

Despite the entire football world knowing that Trent Green has been brought into the Dolphins to lead the team for one year at best and then handover to Beck, Green thinks different.

"From a body standpoint, I feel really good, and whether it's two years, three years, four years, whatever it might be, as long as I feel good and I'm playing at a high level and I'm contributing to help this team win, I want to keep playing..."

Ha! You gotta give him credit for not taking the exact line that so many late thirties QB's tend to take; he did mention that he might only have two years, not the usual 3 or 4. Perhaps it's just me, but it seems like every time a mature QB says he has '3 or 4 more years' he inevitably ends up retiring at the end of the season and working in broadcasting. Or, you know, coaching somewhere obscure.

A player always feels good going into the season.  Adrenaline is flowing, you've had time to mentally and physically recover but as the season progresses players begin to question their decisions.  Happens year after year until the body can no longer do what the brain tells it to do.  What's funny is, as people age, we are the only ones that don't see the aging.  Everyone else sees it but we don't.

You're both completely right. This is the life of the ancient QB - Take note Peyton!

Yeah, I have to agree with you Fanprophet. That's most likely why this happens over and over again.
