My guess is that that's how he had such a high average. But part of YAC is related to accuracy, Hit a guy in stride and let him make a play. Joe Montana built an all time great HOF career around that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he didn’t have a strong arm but what good is a strong arm if the pass is not completed. An underrated part of Pennington’s game was his ability to complete the deeper throws. (And I voted for Kenny O here) He threw a very good bomb, nice arc, accurate. He did not throw a very good 15 yard out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Montana had JaMarcus Russel's arm compared to Chadwick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUM-KNEE Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Another question for bye week is how anyone can use kidney beans in chili. Pinto beans are the way to go. Fight me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballLove Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 While Kenny O had a cannon, I watched both and have to go with Penny. The ONLY think Penny lacked was arm strength. He was such a heady player. Always making the right read. No fancy defenses badly confused him. One of his best plays was his play action. Even the announcers and camera man would follow the RB while Chad stands there in a deserted pocket with the ball behind his back. Sitting for the first 2 years probably helped his game. If only he had a bit more of an arm, we'd have multiple SBs right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Lott giving an interview about his technique and it went something like ... "I ball up all my fire and then explode from my toes all the way up through my soul .. every ounce of me going into the hit" .. his ' woo hits ' Dude was a kamikaze. Different game altogether than today. Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk Back when men were men Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the talent surrounding O'Brien, he never won a post season game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
