Would be a huge waste of Ted Ginn if signed.

Thats all I'm going to say because I'm sure most will know why I said that.

 

Lets hope not...I'd rather go with what we have.

 

Bears IMO.

 

Adam Schefter is saying that Pennington will be released.

Saying that I hope he never wears a Fins uniform.

 

I think your right that they might try to get something for him. I imagine that one of the teams you mentioned might take a shot at him. Hell, maybe even KC, or Buffalo or Baltimore if he's released.

What I'm hoping is that they don't do anything for awhile so that our QBs have more time to impress our FO to the point that they don't think we need the Noodler. Yea, thats optimism. But, from what I've read on the last few days of camp, Johnny Boy has improved and is hopefully turning the corner.

STAY ON LIGHTBULB!

 

Dammit, your right about the cap. Their financial fubar could turn into a nightmare for us.

 

Pennington had a higher ypc avg then Cleo Lemon did..

That said, man, that is taking some fruit off of the "Trust Tree".

I know we are hard up at QB at the moment, but Pennington?

If he had come in instead of McCown I'd like the move better, right now he would come in later then Trent Green did last year, but short term, "yeah" I think he would make us more competitive.

I need to go wash out my keyboard for typing that....:pity::cry:

 

If they do release Chad...

I hope they cut Josh and let the young guys shoot it out. I think Chad is an upgrade to Josh. Both are vets...but Chad knows the Playbook for our week 1 chumps.

Although, I think Farve will have a very solid year for the Jest. He could have some issues come week one. We need all the help we can get...let's just be happy Farve is not 30 instead of 85 years old.

 

I say bring him in

 

Pennington may not have a good arm, but he's an efficient passer and not just a game-manager. I think he'd be best with the loser in the Favre competition, the Bucs. But if he came here, he's an upgrade over what we have. Besides, Ted Ginn needs to develop something to rely on other than speed, which will deteriorate with age, for the future and learning to make quick routes as a necessity is a start. :wink2:

Eh, I don't quite think Parcells ever had the intent of developing Romo. He wanted to ship Romo out for a 3rd until Jones intervened. Never really wanted him as a starter (maybe because he didn't fit his "rules"). A lot of people think of giving credit for Romo's success to Parcells when really, it looks a lot like Parcells almost ended Romo's career if it weren't for a few chance opportunities (Quincy's drug test, Bledsoe's injury, Henson's inability to play, etc).

 

For us in 2008...he would make sense...Glenn's knee may be Jello though 8480.

How old is pennington now? 33 or so?

 

lol That is gold.

Did they say on air that he's not in Football shape? I know we're all thinking that anyways, but that had to be funny to hear.

 

Objectively, you're right.

I'd like to see Beck get a shot, but Pennington would be a game ready Qb who is not 37+ and who is not coming off of a major injury and who knows the offense.

Qb's like that do not come along every offseason, we may be forced to take "yes" as an answer to Chad Pennington..

 

I need to bleach out my brain for reading it.:pity:

 

Younger then last season's "saviour" Green by 5 years.

Pennington is 2 years removed from his shoulder hot glue rebuild?

I ask because if he put some games on his body since the rebuild, we may have to call it a "success"....

 

What's the point though? We're rebuilding and we'll be like this for a few years so what difference does 2008 make? I still look at our roster without too much glee, knowing that it's short everywhere outside of the front lines (in the front lines though I like what we have, it's almost where it needs to be).

That 1,2,2,3 combo will put us into the position of where we will want 32 year olds, etc...

 

Harsh necessity, and the newness of my team, force me to do such things..

 

The thing of that is, our Offensive Unit is such a Rube Goldberg contraption at the moment, from Wr to LT to Te, we need someone who can operate the Offense and let those players develop and know what they are about.

A inexperienced QB does not help that process along very much, they are learning to.

 

Wrong he did rebuild the Cowboys, but he brings veterans he thinks can contribute heavily. I can't see Pennington helping the growth of Henne and Beck. Ferguson was a very short-term solution that Saban would have done, which I always support. Holliday was already here why even bring that up. Ricky was brought in at a basement price.

He traded Jason Taylor, he got rid of Zach Thomas. He's rebuilt in earnest by turning over 50% of the roster.

 

If he can take it mentally, I'd rather have Henne, his OL, Hagan, Ginn Jr. and Ronnie be mediocre together and grow together than the "grooming" process that a veteran QB in fact does not provide.

 

Would you give up a pick for him P13?

We have cap room.

 

If we intend to start McCown then yes I'd rather have Pennington. Otherwise I'd rather have Henne or Beck playing just for the experience.

He is better than Quincy Carter...

 

We dont need another Chad. The one we drafted is better by far.

 

Understatement of the year.

 

The Jets could mess around cutting the guy, we went through this crap last year with Peterson and Green and the September 1st cut down day.

That would put him far behind the curve especially if he came in September.

The Jets could literally hold Pennington hostage if they wanted to Finatic.

 

I actually don't think they improved as much as some might say.

I'm starting to turn a little on the idea of signing Pennington as we speak.

He always produces, year after year after year. He'd make Ginn Jr. a happy man and once Henne improves he'll get the job by year three.

 

It won't matter, Pennington does not count against their cap unless he is on the Roster AFTER Sept 1, he can drink Gatoraid and carry a clipboard until then, it wouldn't matter.

And P13, if they are going to cut him anyway, it would make little difference if they traded him in the division.
