Clearly the greatest issue with Darnold was a name with nowhere for him to stick his initials.

I remember assuming he was popular among our fans when I signed up. I loved the guy.

It was a rude awakening.

@Barton vs @ECURB was serious craic. 

I still remember debating ECurb that Drew Brees was better than Pennington.

Safe to say I won that one.

SammEY.  But, I didn't want to curse him.

Apparently, it didn't matter.

But Brees has better weaponz

Chad got royally screwed because Woody wanted the bright , shiny new object in Front Page Favre , who was done when he came here .

[Sarge4Tide 8,359]

You young whippersnappers need to read up on Richard Todd vs Matt Robinson. Now THAT was a QB controversy! Not like the namby pamby qb controversies you kids today have with your Tik Toking and your instagramming

[jgb 27,749]

Deshaun Watson moving quick up the board and he’s not even a Jet lol

SamEY?

MononucEYosis?

BustEY?

[Jetsfan80 121,240]

Kenny was one of the worst draft picks we ever made.  He was awful

Bad pick, yes. Better than Pennington? Absolutely.

[Jetsfan80 121,240]

SammEY was suggested but EY never made it happen. Smart man. Landing on Bridgewater and standing pat was the wise decision there.

Put Pennington in a dome 8 games a year and he would have been amazing.

You don't need to respond.

hahaha I remember that battle.

Looking back, I have to give Chad more credit. You can win a SB with a guy like that. Just needs better coaching and playmakers around him. 

[jeremy2020 5,150]

What? No Hackenberg? This bias against him has to stop. We have never seen him in an NFL game so we have no idea how high he could fly!

You have a strangely low bar for what would constitute as "amazing".

[ryu79 1,161]

The thing with Chad is that he was so promising that first year...

Going into that Raider game probably the most hyped I can remember being about the future of the team. 

And then the Snoopy bowl injury...

[funaz 65]

But Sanchez is the second best qb in franchise history.

He has more playoff wins than namath.

"We" insinuates there are other people that believe the same when this statement is in fact referring to a singular.

The Snoopy Bowl injury was to his hand/wrist. He came back fine from that.  The injury that changed Pennington's career came in 2004 when he hurt his shoulder on a run vs the Bills.

Yep. But it was just the loss of momentum. I remember being so pumped watching that run against the Bills too and thinking 'what a leader' and then...oh no. That was dumb.

[JOJOTOWNSELL 1,231]

JOJO SAYS.......Pennington

 

‘member when he scolded the fans!?
 

What a douche, yet he is still my second all time fave Jet QB. 

 

Divisiveness you say!? Lol

Sure, those were Sanchez's wins.  Not the # 1 Offensive Line and Defense dragging him to victories.  Uh huh.

Which Jets QB debate produced the strongest emotions/debate on both sides?

Pennington and it's not even close.

Anyone who says it wasn't Pennington wasn't on the internet at that time. There was no Twitter, there was no Facebook, the Pennington forum debates were like NOTHING that has happened since. Not Rex Ryan, not Brett Favre of Mark Sanchez, No Idzik or Macc.

In 2002 Tom Brady threw 28 TDs and 14 INTs.  Chad Pennington threw 22 TDs and 6 INTs with a higher rating.

The ceiling in many peoples minds for pre-injury Chad was that he was going to be a Hall of Famer.

How heated did it get over Chad Pennington?  His sister signed up here with her real work email address so she could private message people for blasting Chad.  I messaged her privately suggesting she hide her identity but let's just say she was pissed at the criticism Chad received here.

There is no 2nd place in this category.

The pre social media point is a good one. We just accept a world now where every chucklehead has a loud and obnoxious opinion about everything and everyone. In early-2000’s I can understand how athletes were like “who is this JetsRock894 and why does he believe that I am a pansy-assed suck turd?”

We are coming up on 16 years here, it is easy to forget that we started to be an uncensored voice for Jets fans.  The other site was deleting posts if you were knocking Coles because he was using the board to get dates.  Different world back then and a huge reason why we avoid scoops and player contact. We don't owe anybody anything.

Another nameless board once did a fundraiser to get a plaque made for Chad when he got hurt. Think about that, he guys give me money so I can hand Chad a plaque saying get well soon. He will hang it right next to his Marshall Varsity letter I am sure.  That fundraiser really happened.

Imagine complaining about Chad or Mark when we have had to endure all this losing since both have been gone.  To all the files who whined about them nonstop maybe you should have appreciated them while they were here?

Bad poll.

Geno and Fitz are the same argument. Not two separate arguments.

Which debate?

Pennington v Testaverde

Pennington v Clemmens

Pennington v Favre 

Of the three I think him taking over for Vinny was the one that divided the fanbase the most.

[rangerous 4,047]

IMO, the issue with chaddy is he was the ultimate tease. When healthy, he was great but he was just about never healthy.  The thing too is chaddy made the team around him better.  The Sanchez teams won in spite of him. (Oh I know many will point to the playoff wins but those were also complete teams). As for the other guys, the book on fitzy was well known and he turned out to be more of a horses as.  Geno came in being a horses as.
