PrintWant to really anger a Jets' fan? Here's what you do.
Simply show them the following stat lines:
| W-L | Comp/Att | Comp% | Yds | YPA | TD | Int | Fumbles | 20+ | 40+ | Rating | |
| Pennington | 8-5 | 261/393 | 66.4% | 3,062 | 7.8 | 12 | 6 | 2 | 34 | 6 | 93.7 |
| Favre | 8-5 | 288/421 | 68.4% | 2,845 | 6.8 | 20 | 15 | 10 | 28 | 7 | 88.2 |
So which quarterback is the one who just "dinks and dunks" down the field? Wasn't that the knock on Chad Pennington - according to Jets' fans?
Oh - and let's not forget how the media just loves to praise Brett Favre for his ability to make plays down the field - while also highlighting how poor Chad Pennington is throwing down the field. Now of course Pennington's arm isn't as strong as Brett's is - even at Favre's current age. But don't let arm strength fool you.
Just look at the numbers of each QB on passes that travel at least 21 yards through the air:
| Comp/Att | Comp% | Yds | YPA | TD-Int | Rating | |
| Pennington | 8/24 | 33.3% | 309 | 12.9 | 2-1 | 93.9 |
| Favre | 10/34 | 29.4% | 362 | 10.6 | 4-5 | 48.9 |
So who's the more efficient deep ball passer?
Yeah - next time you see a Jets' fan, be sure to thank him. Without his team's idiotic decision to kick Pennington to the curb, the 2008 Miami Dolphins wouldn't be where they sit today: tied for 1st place in the AFC East.

green team
I hate that green team…
Hey Matty, can we petition the techies to change the color of goo-ed comments from green to orange?

Favre
I love how the Jets bring in Favre and cut Pennington in order to go downfield more and stretch the defense, but then, after watching Favre chuck INT’s, decide they want him to work the short passes more and play more efficiently. If the Jets wanted short passes and efficiency, wouldn’t it have made more sense to keep the most efficient QB in the league? Oh yeah, they’re the Jets, they don’t make smart decisions. For instance The Draft Blunders throughout the years..

There is absolutely no doubt that, had we not signed Pennington, we would not 8-5 right now. I always hated Miami playing against him when he was with the Jets. He has turned this club into a winning machine. I think the game against the Cardinals is the only game we got flat outplayed in. He is pound for pound the best QB in the AFC EAST. We owe much our teams success to number 10 ! Brett has been hot this season as well. but definetely not as efficient or consistent.

I'm not surprised...........
Favre is past his time and he still doesn’t know the offense……..while CP10 is holding weekly meeting with the O line and WR to get on the same page. The Stat I would like to see is what have they done in the 4th quarter……….All I can say is thank you Brett Favre for ending your retirement………

Some perspective
The Jets spent $130 million on their acquisitions and might have to settle for a wildcard spot.

wooooooooo
I knew cp10 was efficient but these numbers are amazing. Can’t wait to show my wife, a Green Bay/Farve fan.
