    If they draft Jake Locker, then they don't have a damn clue IMO.

    So penny eats up the bad D's in the weak half of the schedule, pulls one out against the jets, we go 11-5 and we get bounced first round in the playoffs again... that is if his shoulders make it that long. Oh well, sure hope I am wrong.

    And props to Padre and Mr Haiku the 23rd, they were right and all of us were wrong. I dont like this move but they were right about winning now instead of growing Henne mentality of the team

    This is a step backwards. Will be shocked if we finish above .500.

    Well that's terrible news. So this sign of desperation seals it, if this team does not make the playoffs the whole FO will be fired. So what I don't understand if they're in win now mode how come they did not try for Moss?

    Sparano has ruined our future starter.
    You people are going to be crying like a bunch of women when this blows up in our face.
    This is the worst move possible.
    Our OC is sharing his crack pipe with the HC.

    Great, just what the team needs. Penny comes in, play well against the weak end of the schedule, leads them into the playoffs where he ****s his pants and throws 4 INTs in the first round and we go home with yet another crappy draft slot.

    Way to go FO.

    Dear Santa, please have Sparano and his entire staff fired and bring in Cowher.

    Eh, guess I was right after Sunday Adamp, fwiw, I love this move, this is Chad Pennington's offense, why not play him if he is healthy enough to go?

    Dink dunk, quick read, don't turn the ball over.

    Henne was miscast imo.

    Anywho, life just got far more difficult for the Titans, Penny is not a Newb Qb they can read like a book.

    Or maybe the realized they couldn't **** him up anymore as long as he was starting...

    Seriously, why would they draft a QB with an arm and the ability to use it if they were gonna get into his head and try to remake him in Penny's image? You don't force changes on a player, you put the player in a position to excel with their skill set.

    Just for the record, I'm not going to call out any posters if Pennington falls flat on his ****ing face, so I would appreciate if no one tries to do the same to me simply because I disagree with the move.

    I fully expect Mark Sanchez to be benched as well. I mean, the dude got shutout at home to the Packers and needed overtime to put up 23 against the Lions!

    This reeks of desperation. Its hillarious that the FO is pointing fingers at Henne while absolving that senile idiot who calls our plays from it all. Dan Henning could easily be the worst OC in the league, and I've even heard as much from fans of teams we have faced this year.

    This is going to kill Henne's short-term future, and Pennington is likely to lead us nowhere.

    This reaks of knowing they'll be fired at the end of the season to me right now. Maybe I'm way off base here, but its either that the FO thought they were going to lose the locker room or that they themselves they could be gone at year's end.

    Damn, what a day.

    Henne plays the toughest part of the schedule, and doesn't play TOO bad.

    Pennington comes in to play the easier 2nd half of the schedule.

    I wonder who will get better results????? Big mystery...

    Can't have it the way you want it every year but if you don't think that Al Davis put together that team in Oakland prior and during Gruden then I don't know what to tell you. :)

    If Henne is that bad, I want to see him cut. Seriously. This is like the ****ing Bills letting Edwards play, calling him the starter, then benching him, only to cut him the week after.

    Pennington in 09 was markedly better than Henne this season. Between the Pats, Bengals, and Ravens games, he's been a major issue.
