If you had polled Jets fans coming out of the Meadowlands after we thrashed Indy 41-0 in the playoffs, I wonder what percentage of them would have believed that Chad wouldn’t be the QB here by 2008? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunnie Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Chad was a good QB. And proved it after the Jets got rid of him for Favre. He had a good year I think he was actually second in MVP voting that season. But he didn't have a big arm some of our wonderful fans called him noodle arm. But he could run an NFL offense smartly. But Jets fans always wanted a big arm as franchise QB. So when they drafted Zach Jets fans got what they always wished for. Except for one thing. Zach wasn't as good a player as Chad was. He couldn't effectively and consistently run an offense and Chad could even though he had a noodle arm. His arm was plenty strong enough coming out of school ... Not a bazooka .. but not the noodle it became. It was the wrist, collarbone and rotator cuff injuries that did him in. I remember how dramatically his throwing motion changed ... Just looked a little awkward after the surgeries.Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscoeword Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 At least with Chad you had confidence when he came out of the huddle and called the plays and it felt that he was in charge and he knew what he was doing... We haven't had that in a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not, but what often gets forgotten/overlooked is that had we won that game the AFC Championship Game would have been played in Foxboro instead of in Pitt, and MA got hit with something like 2 feet of snow that Sunday. Game would have been played in a blizzard and we had the league’s best rushing attack that year. NE was for sure the better team but the weather would have given us a much better shot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny in 98 was fantastic the team let him down in the AFCCG vs Denver after that kickoff that was blown backwards from the high winds the team went right in the toilet and that team was stacked with Talent then came the dumb move trading Keyshawn which would not have been so dumb if the team would have replaced him with a big possession WR but they didn't . The combo os Keyshawn and Chrebet were the ultimate chain movers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't had that in a while. I loved Pennington when he had that breakout season. I thought we had the next Joe Montana. I own an authentic Pennington jersey. As it's already been stated, injuries ruined his career. I'll never forget the still image of the broken wrist where all the bones in his hand snapped in half and made a mini teepee. Horrific. He could have been great. He seems like a really down to earth guy and I had always hoped he would end up a coach on the Jets staff. I still wear his jersey on occasion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggs Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Chad, more durable than Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers in a Jets uniform. Bart Starr will always be the best QB in Packer history simply because he never put on a Jets uniform. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EM31 Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Only Jets QB I know whose fastball was (reportedly) 5-10 MPH faster every offseason for what seemed like 7 or 8 years. Chad was good but his body was not built for the game as played at this level. Does he still hold records for multiple comeback player of the year wins? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warfish Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 20 minutes ago, EM31 said: Chad was good but his body was not built for the game as played at this level. Well said. Perfect description. Chad had the arm talent (i.e. accuracy, touch, enough strength to be fine originally) and more importantly the brains and decision making to be a very good (not great) NFL QB. But his body was built to play MLB, not in the NFL. He might have been a great relief pitcher in an alternate life, but he was never going to survive being an NFL QB with his arm and body. Too bad.

The only notable winning team they beat was San Diego and - despite all the names on their roster - really they didn't beat anyone that year either, led by their own career paper tiger of a HC.

IDK, they had a really good defense and were rolling before Chad got hurt. That team was also very close to beating NE in Foxborough earlier in the year (got hosed on a BS rouging call on Brady at the end of the first half that let NE score in a tie game and lost 13-7 for their first loss of the year after starting 5-0). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started the year 5-0. Had an excellent defense. but Chad couldn’t throw the ball by the end of that Pitt game. His arm was dead. I think we would have lost, sadly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
