Pennington Press Conference Transcript

I see myself in all aspects, by nature, I enjoy playing the mentor role. It doesn't matter if I'm the starter or not, I enjoy playing that role because I think thats part of your job as a veteran, part of your responsibility as a veteran in this league, to help the young guys along, to show them things you've learned along with the way. I've had great veterans in my time to help me--Vinny Testeverde, Curtis Martin, Wayne Chrebet, those guys helped me tremendously, not only as a football player but how to be a professional. As a young player, thats the biggest challenge, the Xs and Os take care of itself, its about how to be a pro on and off the field. And it takes a lot, it takes a lot of energy and focus to do that. I'm coming here to compete and to play and I'm excited about that as well and I enjoy being in the huddle with those other 10 guts and leading those guys to victory.

Lol, you know its amazing when you look at how he takes on the mentor role and than you look at a guy like Favre and how he reacts to it. Chad's an intelligent player and I'm glad that our guys will be learning from him.

This is about as shook up as I could imagine this roster being. Parcells loves his guys and I think we will too eventually. I guess I wasn't totally suprised, because you had to know we were looking for a QB when they brought in Carter for a workout. Chad is a real classy guy and is a definate upgrade over McCown and Beck, and in the end that's what matters.

True, but you just know he is full of B$ about playing the Jets the first game and there being no revenge factor involved...

He would not be human if there wasn't a little touch of that in there..

Pennington when on the Jets, reminded me of a lot of the guys on the Eagles like B-Dawk, Mcnabb, Westbrook and Andy Reid...way too good and classy for their fans. curtis martin and a few others followed suit.
