Fred Jetstone Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Came across this Mangini interview in the Jets Confidential print mag, and thought I'd do you all the favor of sharing. Q) DO YOU THINK CHAD PENNINGTON IS GOING TO BE THE STARTING QUARTEBACK IN SEPTEMBER? Mangini) Everybody here is going to compete for a starting spot. They're going to compete for lots of spots. I am going to play the best players. That's what I believe in. Q) SO DOES THAT MEAN BROOKS BOLLINGER WILL BE GIVEN A CHANCE TO COMPETE FOR THE STARTING JOB? Mangini) I think Brooks is a tough player, and I'm excited to work with him, too. He's another guy that is in the mix, and we're going to play the best players. I think that everybody is in the competition for a starting job. Everybody is in competition to make the roster. That's how we view it philosophically. Awesome attitude. What more could you ask? This is the way I see the QB situation shaking down: BOLLINGER - starter RAMSEY - backup CLEMMONS - 3rd string PENNINGTON - gone KINGSBURY - gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serphnx Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 You're crazy. I'm in the running for the Jets starting QB job too. I won't get it though. Just like Bolly, since he's not the best player. It's just lip service, since this coach believes in actually letting his player have a chance, instead of saying God didn't give him ability.

Fred Jetstone Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 What he's saying is that he's not married to any one particular guy and will evaluate the best fit at camp. This is a QB democracy, not a public relations catering-to of the haute-bourgeois 1st-round-pick type. Bring 'em all to camp and may the best man win the job. Objectively, when you take these criteria into account, Bollinger comes out on top. a) mobility actual game experience c) toughness (injury prone?) d) current health e) ability to perform under pressure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bollinger comes out on the bottom then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I read this article BEFORE the Draft. Now with Clemens in the picture, Brooksie doesn't stand a chance unless Mangini plans to keep 4 QB's on the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGHT STALKER Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Come on with Brooks already....he's a ticket waiting to board the bus outta here. What did you expect Mangini to say..."he doesn't have a shot". Coach isn't going to say that no matter who is on the team. You could have asked him about anyone player on this team and you would have gotten the politically correct answer...which he gave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faba Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Mangini gave the typical everyone has equal opportunity line- let the best player win With that Bollinger still has no shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dierking Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Read "tough" as meaning "someone who our DE's can chase and chase during practice, while our real qb's are learning the offense" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4HCrew Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 actually could be interesting to see Brooks in a different offense with different coaches and protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too Bad we can't TIVO real Live Games ,This way when chad or ramsey are about to get killed by a DE or LB we can put bolly in there as a stunt double so he can get crushed.

Maxman Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 What he's saying is that he's not married to any one particular guy and will evaluate the best fit at camp. Which is exactly why Brooks will be cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 If they asked Mangini if Herm was a good coach he would say yes. It is called "dicking with the media". At the end of the day it doesn't mean squat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BwanaZulia Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Mangini gave the typical everyone has equal opportunity line- let the best player win With that Bollinger still has no shot Mangini will feed that line for the next 4 months.

Nice to see some objective posters here. It will be very interesting to see him take it to the next level with D'Bollyguard protecting his left side. Should be a once-in-decade-season coming up.

azjet Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Most say Bollinger doesn't even deserve a shot and I have to wonder, if he doesn't, who does? Reality and the perception of reality are two different animals. Is reality TV real? Is M. Vick a pro bowl QB? Is the earth flat? Thanks for keeping it real Fred.

How about New orleans 19-28, 251 yards, how about Buffalo losing to the Bollinger-led Jets 30-26. The stats are there, Shade. All you gotta do is look 'em up!

There is No shot for Bollinger to remain on the roster. The ONLY way that Bolly stays is if one of the top three enter the season injured. Good Luck Bollinger, thanks for being the tackling dummy last year. LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
