PatsFanTX Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Hypothetical situation that will more than likely play itself out: PennyBoy goes through training camp and either is not 100% or flat out gets beat out by Ramsey. What will Mangini do and the end of training camp? 1). Announce that Ramsey is the starting QB for the season. 2). Go into week 1 saying he has yet to make a QB decision and announce the starter on Friday of game week. Option 1, IMO, rally the team behind Ramsey and provide better cohesiveness heading into the season. Option 2 would require the Titans to prepare two defensive game plans depending who the QB will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4HCrew Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 For some reason I think the Jets will know the starting qb by the 4th preseason game. Mangini has zero loyalty to Chad and will play who helps him win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadetree Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I think Ramsey will be the guy by week 2 of pre-season. It wouldn't be a stretch to think that Mangini thought Chad was done before he ever got the HC job. He was involved in the game plans in NE, no? I would venture to guess that NE had Chad pegged not too soon after Chad caught everyone by surprise in 2002. Chad's been pretty easy to gameplan against since then. I'd be happy if Chad came storming back to be succesful, but it just ain't gonna happen, I'm afraid. I say the coaching staff has a pretty easy decision going with Ramsey and his arm strength.

Although I could see him trying to get the team to rally around Ramsey he will also want to make the race appear close even if it isn't. That way he has a fall back option if Ramsey sucks without killing the other QB's confidence or the teams confidence in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Load the box and stop the 95 year old Martin because the passing game isn't a threat with either qb in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbn007 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Ramsey will start Game 1 of the pre-season. Chad, if healthy, will start game 2. Not sure about game 3, but I expect the starter to be announced after game 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raffyD Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Chad would have to be seriously healthy for option 2 to be available at all. Unfortunately, it will probably be pretty clear cut who the starter will be by the end of the preseason, unless Chad is really throwing well in which case I could see Mangini going with #2.

NJ Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Doesn't Penny have to be cut by June 1 to get any financial benefit for this year? I think Mangini plays it close to the vest, but it would be pretty hard to hide who DaMan is with all the press and other onlookers at camp. Mangini's got a book on Pennington healthy or otherwise from having to defend against him for the last few years. If Ramsey shows promise in his decision making and provides good leadership, he's going to be the guy regardless of CP's arm condition. And thats fine by me.

Option 2 would require the Titans to prepare two defensive game plans depending who the QB will be. I'll take option 1. The ideal situation would be for Chad Pennington to get healthy and put up a good fight for the starting job. Have two quarterbacks ready to go on week one and have The Titans guessing. Chad Pennington still has players on the team that support him and Ramsey is the new guy who has to earn the trust and faith of not only his coaches but his teammates. Ramsey has to win over the team with his play on the field. Even if he shines in camp and the preseason. Until he gets it done in the regular season, He won't earn that type of support from everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know!!!! I know!!!! He publicly states number 2 for the reason you state. Behind closed doors and in the privacy of the inner team sanctum, he tells the team Ramsey is the QB. He will continue this until teams call BS. Which should be about Week 3 or 4 depending on a team's learning curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Option 2 would require the Titans to prepare two defensive game plans depending who the QB will be. This is a trick question. Either way the Titans would just gameplan for Ramsey. Because as you have explained so many times, there is no need to game plan for a Noodle Arm.

LionelRichie Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 in my mind there are scenarios: 1. chad is healthy and gets beat out - in this case he is the #2 and mangini makes an announcement that chad is not fully healthy and ramsey will start the season as #1. he then goes on to say "the best 11 players will be on the field, if at some time in the future we feel that chad gives us the best chance to win they he will be in the game" 2. chad is not healthy - chad either goes on IR or is cut and clemons/bollywood start the season as #2. with ramsey as 1 you need a legit backup. ramsey is a statue in the pocket and takes some big hits, he also has the propensity to throw game changing int's. if the jets are as bad as advertised it will give clemmons the opportunity to get some reps in garbage time. the #2 takes ~ 20% of the snaps during practice each week so if chad can't throw there is no reason to waste the reps on him.

Fred Jetstone Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Bollinger wil beat out both of them and be named starter. Unless the Pats get their way and pull off a purported trade that would send Brady, Seymour and a 1st round pick in exchange for Bollinger and DRob. Belicheck is mad at Mangini for leaving and will try and cheat him trade-wise as payback. Mangini's not stupid though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belichek called Tannenbaum and said he would trade Brady and Seymour, as well as 2 number 1 picks, and also he himself would come over and become the defensive coordinator of the NY Jets, under Mangini. All he wanted back was Bollinger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily, they haven't been roped in by these assinine offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREENSMACKS Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 i think he will instill a qb rotation through out the game and then suprise everyone by going with a 2 QB backfield the center will snap the ball to pennington and sometimes he will drop back and pass, other times, the center will snap the ball to pennington who snaps the ball to ramsey who drops back to pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a screen pass thrown in the dirt, give it to Pennington, then if you want to throw that strategic interception, just have Pennington snap it back to Ramsey. BRILLIANT!!
