in the least. Everyone who knows these players recognizes that Pennington has produced much more than McCown. While Josh may have better tools, more gifted, blah blah blah – he’s never produced very much on the field whereas Pennington, with very limited abilities, has been successful.

With all that said, I have a sneaking suspicion that the guy that might be replaced is not McCown.

Think about it this way – if you bring in Pennington, it is almost too late to bring him in to be the opening game starter. Which means the fins expect someone else to be the opening day starter…..that someone else, very possibly being one Chad Henne.

Bottom line – I’m in favor of bringing him in for at least a workout.

Pennington’s best football is well behind him…..in 2003.

McCown has the mobility at least…..Pennington has zero mobility.

If we bring him in we need to release McCown…which puts us weeks behind. Why are we trading guys that are old on defense…and trading for guys that are old on offense?

We want Terry Glenn and Pennington…but we dont want Zach Thomas or Jason Taylor?!!

This is a joke and im sick of these older qbs putting us yrs behind the 8 ball. Start Beck or Henne…see which one is good..one of THEM IS BOUND TO BE SERVICABLE.

cmon with this crap already…...Pennington reminds me of Griese.

We always seem to be picking up Parcell’s old scraps. Don’t see how Pennington is an upgrade. Unless of course, he wants revenge on his old team twice a year

No, seriously this could be good. I want a guy like Henne or Beck to emerge as a stud but it just doesn’t seem to be in the cards for Beck.

Pennington has a weakish arm but is very efficient (when he isn’t hurt). Could be a much better stopgap than McCown. Pennington will get a year, two-year at most contract.

but It’s like this:

Two of these QBs Parcells brought in, another he didn’t. They are all playing about the same….......

As for Pennington,He can come in and keep the seat warm, but I hope he doesn’t plan starting next year when Hennes’ time comes. Unless, that is, he lights it up.

What interests me here is trying to get a handle on what the ‘trio’ thinks of our current QBs by the moves they’re making for Carter or Pennington etc.

Henne is the rookie. He’s under no scrutiny or pressure, if he wins the job, great, if he doesn’t, fair enough – he’s one for the future.

Beck they might be looking to get rid of. We (most of us) still think Beck might still be a success, but these guys have seen weeks of him working out, doing drills, training etc. Maybe they’ve decided he doesn’t have what it takes or that he doesn’t have enough upside to justify putting him in instead of Henne.

McCown I can’t understand. Surely they knew what they were getting when they brought him in? He’s supposed to be our safety valve, our somewhat average caretaker, yet he can’t beat out what amounts to two rooks in camp – that’s really poor stuff – and this is why we’d need Penners in the first place. Still, since they just brought him in I think he’d stay as the back-up.

I also think that having seen the standards in camp the trio is genuinely afraid of another 2-14 style season that will set the franchise back and harm our young players. Thus they’re desperate to upgrade at QB to avoid a disaster. My bet is that if Pennington comes in, Beck gets moved on. And at that stage Beck has no chance to start or play anywhere this season, and starts looking like he’ll be lucky to be a backup QB in this league before he turns 50. (which is what, two year’s time?) Poor Beck….

can we all agree that neither McCown, or if signed – Pennington, are here to be long-term starters.

You don’t draft a QB in round 2, (Henne), and then plan for a journeyman like McCown to be your long-term answer.

Unless they absolutely play fantastically, McCown, or Pennington if signed, would be here as stop-gaps, veteran ‘mentors’, etc.

He will be a Miami Dolphin this year.

Just kidding. Thought I might make a slightly teasing joke. ;-)

There’s no way around it.
Even if Beck started this year and did well, do you really think that this regime would draft Henne and NOT want him to be the starter at some point? He’s their boy. The answer is right in front of us, Parcells looked into getting Pennington because he is loyal to HIS guys.
He signed Mccown. He drafted Henne. He’s loyal to Chad.
He owes Beck nothing except for maybe a trade to the Ravens (who might overspend due to Cam’s love for him).
I have rooted and still do for Beck though.

I think the Jets trade him outside the division. No way they send him to a rival team.

...

we’re lining up a move for an accurate, weak armed dink ‘n dunker?

Woohoo… Go Fiedler Frerotte Pennington!!!

Woohoo… Go Fiedler Frerotte Pennington!!!

Go relevancy! Those were the last guys to win games here.

Henne can come in later on when Pennington goes down.

you guys are all missing the point here. I would bring Pennington in not to play QB for us, but to serve as a veteran backup who has VALUABLE INFORMATION on the JETS PLAYBOOK!!! holllllaaaa

For the record I say lets bring this guy in. Its the same thing that applies to McCown. If Beck isn’t better than Pennington then he’s not worthwhile in keeping because we already have Henne. Guys we were 1 and 15 last year because we didn’t have a quarterback that could win a game. Our current crop of QB’s are not exactly at a level where need need to start getting sentimental and trying to protect them. If someone else is better and we can get them, “ship there azz out” as Kobe would say.

It’s obvious that McCown is not pushing Beck or Henne to get better. Pennington will certianly do that and he makes us better seeing that he’s a clear upgrade to McCown. Why would we release Beck, he still maybe the future number one or two and if not we should be able to at least get a pick for him. We’d never get a pick for McCown, sorry Josh it is what it is.

Pennington to help us plan to beat the Jets then God help us.

I don’t know what will.

All of these QBs are pretty sucky.

Lack of pathient and idiotics ideas is what this franchise is doing since JJ came here. We have drafted 2 F*ng QB, but still want to look for somebody else garbage and throw out one of the drafted qb’s. That is whaty i call GREAT THINKING!!

You guys are all too emotional about dear Chadito, you need to calm down and take an objective view of his stats and take a step back and lightly or raucously scream…. screw Chad Penniongton, I’d rather marry my sister (again) than even watch him in practice. Betrayal. Some things are worth preserving… and blind hatred is one of them…as is your 3rd Bud. The pre-beautiful-season my friends. And it just is not pretty. That’s because we have the usual media lurch to left and right about which QB for da Fins. The fans do follow their lead as the media are in the bubble. Sit next to B violin or Edgar who in there or out on the fielfd and maybe you’ll get a different taste. Screw Pennington !!! Beck is doing fine, McCown will support and Henne will come along. Way too much spotlight on these guys. The beef?... well the OL really worries me and its lack of sticky hair gum product. Bess…? remember Sutton…I really believed the hype. Don’t believe coz you want to. Beck day 1 my friends. Oh yeah… screw CP!

Screw !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that MF Pennington. Losman, Quincy, Testaverde, Feeley, but not Chadfucknuts Pennington. anyone. Screw the stats. Why is ‘Genius’ letting go? He aint even interim material. Did I mention Screw fucknuts Pennington. love ( completely non-man-crush love Beck) Beck. He will do it. He needs some time. Like a fine Belgian Bud in the barrel.

Go Beijing!

He could be agood backup
