tfine Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Man I was watching the 2002 highlights of him. The guy was on point. It's really too bad he got hurt and the fans and media created a "weak arm" stigma around him. Also the Jets never got him any weapons. He could've of been great. He last good QB we ever had. Just another QB neglected by the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRy56 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Big-time. Whenever he was healthy, the Jets were a playoff team. He gets knocked due to his injuries hurting his arm strength but he was a good quarterback for our Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rex-n-effect Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 He was not as bad as his critics suggest nor as good as his proponents believe. He was on the upper end of the middle of the pack not accounting for the injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we got that guy a stud receiver or even a stud TE that guy would've been money. No help.

JetPotato Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Purely a game manager. Couldn't make all the throws. He excelled at the easy stuff, which is what they gave him. Wasn't going to lose the game for you, but wasn't going to come back and win very often either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuscanyTile2 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I don't miss Chad even one iota. He was good enough to beat the mediocre teams but that's about it. He had a noodle arm even pre-injuries. He was the master of the 2 yard dump-off. I admit he was probably slightly better than I give him credit for but, overall, he was vastly overrated by far too many Jet fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFJF Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Impossible guy not to root for, but I'll never forget the season opener in KC when his first two passes literally looked like punts. He had WR's standing there wide open and waiting for the ball to come down. Made Fitz's arm look like Favre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYDreamer Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Very easy guy to root for, came in as one of the Jets four first round picks that year. Was elevated to the first round because he was throwing to Randy Moss at Marshall and we did need a QB to start learning behind Vinny at the time. Who knew Tom Brady was going to be a 6th round steal that year. But yes, I did like his smarts, leadership qualities, and his passion for the game.

Ohio State NY Jets fan Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Nope, been there done that, "he was an egg back there", great person, good leader for the team but just like a 9-7 season with no playoffs he provided some hope but not enough for the golden ticket Almost the opposite of Sanchez, Penny may have had fewer turnovers in the playoffs but no deep pass so I don't think he beats the Colts or the Steelers either, but he did win the AFC East for the fish 09-10 needed Favre with his OC and fat Rex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faba Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Chad was a good leader but lack of ability made him only so good . Reminds me of Alex Smith. good enough to get a team into playoffs but then not good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is categorically false. Sanchez, for all his faults, took far more of the blame for losses, and would state that he needed to get better. Pennington would throw 2 picks in a game and say, "outside of two or three throws, I thought I played well." Not to mention becoming the second highest paid QB and immediately telling the fans/media that he took a "team friendly" deal. Not to mention his lecture to the media about how it's a privilege for them to cover him. It's remarkable how many grown men were suckered by his completion percentage, his goofy smile, and his aww shucks hair cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I could talk about how Pennington was a d*ck, how ecstatic I was when Favre got us rid of Pennington for good, and how ridiculous it is for the OP to blame the media for Pennington having a weak arm. But instead I'll just yield the rest of my time to @Bleedin Green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat the Steelers in his first season, should have beaten in the playoffs if Herm had a brain. Threw a nice bomb to set up the go ahead score. Beat the Raiders, Dolphins etc. beat plenty of teams that weren't bottom dwellers until his lack of arm strength kept him from beating anyone.

The shoulder injury was the greatest thing that ever happened to Chad's legacy. Because of it, you have a handful of people remembering him fondly, thinking about what only could have been, and making outlandish claims like he's the "next Joe Montana." Had he never gotten hurt, there's no reason to believe that the last game we saw him healthy, at Oakland, wasn't his future, and any defense that was good enough to shut down the middle of the field would stop him in his tracks.
