The Gun Of Bavaria Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 It would appear he writes on the side for Yahoo Sports. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=cr-notebook063005&prov=yhoo&type=lgns Jay Fiedler, New York Jets The best thing Fiedler has got going for him is that he's playing behind league China doll Chad Pennington. Odds suggest that eventually, Pennington will stay healthy for a full season. But reality always seems to be hovering overhead like a funnel cloud, ready to suck Pennington onto the disabled list. Even now, nobody has been allowed to watch Pennington throw this offseason, and there isn't anyone who is certain how his surgically repaired shoulder is holding up. The Jets can't even be sure he'll be 100 percent on opening day. That tilts the scales toward Fiedler getting some starts at some point this season. And while he's had his own health issues for three straight years, he's efficient enough to be plugged in and throw for 200 yards and a touchdown or two while handing the ball off to Curtis Martin and Derrick Blaylock 40 times a game. While Fiedler isn't anything but a solid backup for Pennington, don't be surprised if injuries push him into the lineup late in the year and he ends up being the starter in the playoffs.

You had me sold on this article being from Tx right up until it mentioned the Jets making the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
