Don't know if it's kosher to paste a post in here or not -- if not, mods, please remove, and my apologies. I am not noting the site nor the poster's name:

Chad gave his all for this team. Then when we finally went out and picked the Free Agent market we dumped him on his a$$ for a washed up 39 year old. You can bet the entire country is pulling for Penny.
If the Patriots win and the Ravens are blowing out the Jags you can bet Ill be rooting for Penny as well. It kills me to say that but I think the Favre move was not well thought out and if we lose sunday it may be the dagger for Mangini and about 90 % of his staff.
Favre is not a NYJ HOF'er he is a GB HOFer as I told my wife I feel at timeslike the Jets are not the Jets with Favre at the helm. Its just a feeling. Its not the same Im sorry.

I've seen similar sentiments in some of the NY papers. I think a lot of people up there are PO'd about the way that Pennington was treated.

While a lot on the Jets boards are "bashing" Penny, I thought this one is probably a more accurate view on how the majority feels -- they just don't want to admit it.
I just loved reading Penny getting his respect, both from his "ex-fans" and from the NY media. Well deserved... -

I cannot recall wanting anything more than this win tomorrow - it would be absolutely incredible, and I'm just looking now at the clock, which is showing 4:15pm.... 24 hours until kickoff, everyone!!!! -

Another post -- this one responding to a "Chad is not that good" topic on a Jets site:
******
Like I've said before, it feels like some of our fans hate Chad Pennington for no rational reason - perhaps it's because of his weak arm, which helps them voice their own insecurities about some physical shortcoming.
All I know is that, while Pennington is certainly not a great QB by any stretch, the guy was healthy for 3 seasons with the Jets, and the Jets made the playoffs in each of those seasons. Meanwhile we missed the playoffs every season he wasn't healthy. And now, amazingly, here are the Dolphins on the cusp of a playoff berth, in yet another season where Chad was healthy. Must be some unbelievable coincidence since, you know, Chad is "not that good."

There are a number of members on their sites that are still Penny fans!! -
MY opinion from lurking in the Jets fan sites, is the following...
Now there have been a lot of Favre fans (Packers ) that added themselves to the Jets fan family, but these are just Brett fans and really hold no alligience to the Jets...
So on to the real Jet fans...
Over 95% of them don't care about Chad one iota, they are blind followers of the green... They are arrogant, show no lack of respect nor repentance for anything that has transpired til now...
If the Jets would have already clinched the Division, they woulld be happy to say that getting rid of Chad was the right thing, but not in a nice way (if you know what I mean)...
Only a few of them feel for Chad and the way he was treated last summer...and from that bunch, IMO, only a few wish him well this weekend...
I would say 99% of them are still Jets fans first... -
I think a lot of the Jets fans are extremely frustrated, and understandably, about what's happened this year. I know some may not admit it, but deep down inside they wish they still had Chad on their team. Now, he is part of the Dolphins, and deep down it bothers them even more that he has a chance to get his revenge by winning the AFC East for the Dolphins in the Jets' own house.

I'm telling you guys, this experience has truly shown me what a tremendous group of people we have here. I'm from New Jersey, I know the "reputation" of the NY fans (and have witnessed it first-hand), but I thought I'd see what the other "side" is saying. I was upfront and open -- posting a "First-Time Visitor" thread, and boy they did their best to let me have it. I think I held my own, never lowered myself to their standards, frankly, and have chalked it up to overall an unpleasant experience.
Honestly, I was more than shocked at how their own members address one another and how rude they are (although not all of them, I must admit) to the opposition. Their members spend more time bashing each other and "their" team; I wonder how they truly have time to appreciate the actual game at all.
The family at thephins.com has spoiled me, and thank God for it!
Here's to a great game tomorrow, everyone -- PFH and I are watching the Dolphins/Jets replay of Game 7 this year on NFL Network. Can we please retire Brett once and for all???mullingan, PENNSYLVANIADOLPHAN, TheMageGandalf and 3 others like this. -

the reason Jest fans don't like us is because they are not good enough to be Dolphins fans.:wink2:

Don't even worry about their fans. They're just pissed because every team in New York sucks. We WILL have the last laugh. 34-13 Dolphins.

Just like a Dolphins fan to be the mature one, while the Jets fan acts like an arrogant ***. Good job PhinsFanWife.

-They play in a stadium named after another team.
-That stadium isn't even located in the state in which they name their team.
-Their the same color scheme as Hess Trucks.
-Their not even the best team in their own stadium.
-They haven't won a meaningful game since 1969
-Their team made a trade for a fading legend and in doing so let the guy whose been starting for them walk away to a division rival, almost instantly handing that rival the missing piece to their puzzle.
So of course they have to walk around with an overwhelming sense of accomplishment. (or else, you know, they have to watch their team play football instead)

I also beleive as most of will agree, the Chad has to prove something to himself first and foremost...after his last shoulder surgery..
He has to prove that he capable of taking a team to the Post Season and wants the league to know that...
That he would do it at the expense of the team that drafted him and played all those years for and let him go as if he were washed up and done...
its the icing on the cake...dolphindebby, PhinsFanWife, Fin Fan In Cali and 1 other person like this. -
