Welcome to the "Better safe than sorry, better late than never" Edition of Post of the Week - December 14th, 2006. It's been a rough week, so thank you all for not killing me (well, everyone except TX, of course - frigg'n dumbass) for taking an extra day for POTW. There are several outstanding posts this week, so let's get right to the nominations!

This week's nominees were:

Since Yahoo has a fantasy football license from the NFLPA and the NFLPA holds licensing rights wherever six or more players are used, we aren't sure how Brady has much of a case.

Put it this way, the Patriots miss Charlie Weiss more than The Penguin.

Who the hell knows what Clemens is capable of? Maybe he'll be 10x worse than Ryan Leaf.

What we do know is that Chad cannot do it. He has MORE than adequate receivers. He doesn't have the greatest running attack on earth (to say the least) but did you watch the game? Once again, teams stacked the run b/c they have no fear of Chad beating them deep. That works fine against Green Bay and Detroit. We will not and would not face such teams in the playoffs. Pennington forces his receivers to get first downs with their feet:

2-11-NYJ25(12:23) C.Pennington pass incomplete deep right to J.Cotchery.

3-11-NYJ25(12:23) (Shotgun) C.Pennington pass short left to C.Baker to NYJ 32 for 7 yards (K.Thomas, A.Youboty).

2-4-BUF30(2:19) C.Pennington pass short left to L.Coles pushed ob at BUF 14 for 16 yards (K.Simpson).

2-6-BUF10(1:14) (No Huddle) C.Pennington pass short middle to L.Coles for 10 yards, TOUCHDOWN. Penalty on BUF-K.Simpson, Defensive Pass Interference, declined.

3-11-BUF27(13:34) (No Huddle, Shotgun) C.Pennington pass short left to J.Cotchery pushed ob at BUF 12 for 15 yards (K.Simpson).

3-10-BUF12(11:07) C.Pennington pass incomplete short middle to J.Cotchery (L.Fletcher-Baker).

3-3-NYJ27(8:50) (No Huddle) C.Pennington pass short right to L.Coles pushed ob at 50 for 23 yards (K.Simpson).

3-9-BUF49(6:56) (Shotgun) C.Pennington pass short left to L.Washington to 50 for -1 yards (A.Schobel, L.Fletcher-Baker).

3-9-NYJ46(2:00) (Shotgun) C.Pennington pass intended for J.Cotchery INTERCEPTED by N.Clements at BUF 42. N.Clements for 58 yards, TOUCHDOWN. [well at least he threw it 14 yards in the air. Kudos.]

3-6-NYJ27(1:09) (No Huddle, Shotgun) C.Pennington pass short left to J.Cotchery to NYJ 37 for 10 yards (K.Thomas, A.Youboty).

2-10-BUF32(:35) (No Huddle, Shotgun) C.Pennington pass short left to L.Washington to BUF 28 for 4 yards (N.Clements).

1-10-NYJ12(5:09) C.Pennington pass short left to B.Smith to NYJ 16 for 4 yards (N.Clements, K.Thomas).

3-15-NYJ35(:45) (No Huddle, Shotgun) C.Pennington pass short left to S.Ryan to NYJ 43 for 8 yards (K.Thomas).

2-8-NYJ30(7:32) (No Huddle, Shotgun) C.Pennington pass short left to L.Washington to NYJ 34 for 4 yards (K.Ellison).

3-4-NYJ34(7:12) (No Huddle, Shotgun) C.Pennington pass short right to J.McCareins to NYJ 48 for 14 yards (K.Simpson).

1-10-NYJ48(6:32) (No Huddle, Shotgun) C.Pennington pass short middle intended for J.McCareins INTERCEPTED by L.Fletcher-Baker at BUF 40. L.Fletcher-Baker to BUF 41 for 1 yard (L.Coles, L.Washington).

1-10-NYJ18(5:01) (Shotgun) C.Pennington pass short left to L.Washington to NYJ 27 for 9 yards (A.Hargrove, A.Schobel).

2-1-NYJ27(4:34) (No Huddle, Shotgun) C.Pennington pass short left to C.Baker to NYJ 37 for 10 yards (K.Ellison, A.Youboty).

1-10-NYJ37(4:04) (No Huddle, Shotgun) C.Pennington pass short right to J.Cotchery pushed ob at NYJ 42 for 5 yards (N.Clements).

2-5-NYJ42(3:57) (No Huddle, Shotgun) C.Pennington pass incomplete short left to C.Baker.

3-5-NYJ42(3:52) (Shotgun) C.Pennington pass short middle to L.Washington to NYJ 46 for 4 yards (K.Ellison).

As much as they rip on our players to have fun with it, every Pats fan on earth would drool to have Brady throwing to Coles & Cotchery instead of that ragamuffin bunch of nobodies he throws to.

My personal favorite is when apologists like Can-o-zero suggest the reason for Pennington not putting up league-leading #'s is the lack of a deep threat. Coles is a deep threat. McCariens was a deep threat until Chad was his QB. Moss was a deep threat. He's had more deep threats than most QB's. Look above & actually watch the games & see what use he makes of WR's. He turns them into skinny TE's who then need to break tackles or otherwise run another 5-10 yards to get into the endzone or past the first-down marker.

If you think we will play the 2-10 Packers or Lions every week including the playoffs & superbowl, then Chad's your man. We don't, we haven't, and we wouldn't & won't.

Keep him as a backup next year & then get rid of him. His comeback was admirable, but he will never lead us to a superbowl. There will always be excuses as to why (his apologists never run short of excuses), but in the end we will again be watching someone else's teams in the superbowl as long as we have this guy and his sissy-arm & line calls & check-down's.

(Editor's Note: There goes Spermie using facts again. Forget the facts, just make things up - it works for TX.)

There is talent involved in that, but not physical talent alone.

Clemens is far worse than Chad, and that's a sad state of affairs, indeed.

Fear of the unknown gets you nowhere. If you're going to do anything in any walk of life you have to take chances and find out. Otherwise, you'd never leave the house. Clemens might fail, but he might succeed. Kurt Warner or Tom Brady ring any bells?

Judging him by yesterday isn't fair. First NFL pass Unitas ever threw was an INT. Didn't mean he sucked or didn't deserve a chance.

Until Clemens gets a shot, you never know. And in 2002 much the same kind of was written about Pennington himself. Heck, the idiot coach was saying it right up until he had no other choice. Pennignton has been a servicabale if limited NFL QB rather than nothing.

(Editor's Note: Bugg us a great poster and this is a great post. Nice!)

by the way it wasn't the attempts that worried me. Am i the only one who saw him hold the ball too long on two occasions, panic and take two atrocious sacks? slide down in bounds during a two minute drill? um... ok.

it was amateur hour, and if i want to see that crap i'll crank up tapes of preseason

And this week's winner is:

Originally Posted by Sperm Edwards

I think the process has already begun. Mangini can't promote a guy from #3 to #1 and then say to the world it gives us the best chance to win. But in doing so he's made the move from Chad to Clemens closer. I think once we are eliminated it's a done deal. But Chad still has a lot of support in the locker room, particularly from vocal guys like Coles. You can't bench the primary receiver's favorite QB while you're still in a playoff hunt & sell it as being best chance for the team for the upcoming game.

I don't believe for a second that Mangini is blind to Chad's shortcomings. He's a defensive guy - and a DB guy in particular - and certainly knows how much easier it is to defend a QB who can't (or won't) stretch the field.

But a HC is more than just a game tactician. He's also somewhat of a politician, in dealing with both the players and with the media; not to mention potential FA's. He doesn't have superbowl rings to get the benefit of the doubt like a Parcells or a Shanahan. A rookie HC of a team with weaknesses at more than just the QB position has got to be more subtle, particularly with the most important position on the team, for better or for worse.

That's right folks, Sperm Edwards officially has a winning streak going - a first, I think for POTW. Great post, Spermie - I can't say another thing about it - it stands on its own. Give the man his due, folks!

The Assist of the Week goes to Bob for setting up joewilly's "EEEeeewwwwwwww" of the week - see the posts above for details, I still trying to get that image out of my eyes.

That's all for this week, people - let's hope that the Jets can bounce back and play a good, well executed game this weekend against the Vikings. Thanks once again for the great posts and the nominations this week.

Be safe and y'all be cool -

gb
