Favre to the Jets--Pennington Released

by DolPhanDave on Aug 7, 2008 10:57 AM EDT

Late last night Brett Favre was given his final shove out of Green Bay and sent east to our good friends the J-E-T-S (suck suck suck!) for a conditional draft pick.

This move also led to Chad Pennington release by the Jets, which is not a big shocker to anyone

I personally dont see this move helping anybody more then the Packers, who not only shipped Brett outside of the NFC North, but out of the NFC completely! For the Jets, all i can see this move doing is giving them maybe 2-3 more wins, but since i only saw them as a 4 win team i dont see it making a big difference. It does give them another year or so to develop Kellen Clemens and gives him the chance to work under one of the NFL's best.

So while i dont see this move helping the jets a whole heck of alot, it dosent seem to hurt them much either. But what will end up of Pennington? Obviously the question comes up 'will the dolphins give him a look' and i am against this totally. Lets develop our own youngsters and leaving Pennington to dwindle around the rest of the league.

Minnesota

And with a efficient passer like Pennington and Adrian Peterson carrying the ball… Green Bay still gets screwed. Hopefully the Jets do too.

I think Green Bay

is actually the one that will lose the most as far as the teams.

They were in the NFC championship game last season with Favre. Now they are going into the season with that same talented roster, but with a guy at QB who has never started a single game in his career. The packers have gone from a team that would have been a SB contender going into the season, to being a team with huge question marks at the most important position. Right now, I question whether they’ll win 10 games even.

By the way, Pennington is way better than McCown. Look at their numbers and success – McCown has never been able to keep the starters job for very long whereas Pennington has led his teams to the playoffs several times.

Get over the whole, oh but he was a jet thing, and you’ll see Pennington is better.

The thing is, it is very late in the preseason to have a QB switch teams and learn the system. That’s probably the biggest reason the dolphins won’t give him a look. Other teams might though.

Well the nfl is a win now league

Well how i see it is.Pennigton is better than any qb that we have now and thats not a lie….I say lets give the guy a look and if he doesnt cost much and hes better than anybody that we have lets go for him…I believe that hes better than john beck so why not one more qb is better than one less one so lets go for it…..
