gustoonarmy Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Apparently Pete Prisco thinks that our starting QB is the biggest issue that we have , who starts? I just wonder if he actually saw any of our games if he thinks thats our biggest need. Nice work Pete. AFC questions: Analyzing each team's biggest need Feb. 8, 2007 By Pete Prisco CBS SportsLine.com Senior Writer Tell Pete your opinion! When the clock ticked down to zeroes on the 2006 season last Sunday night -- the Pro Bowl doesn't count -- it meant it was time to start looking ahead to the 2007 season. Hey, there is no offseason in the NFL anymore. Tom Brady could use some help at the wide receiver spot. (Getty Images) Each of the league's 32 teams, including the Super Bowl-champion Colts, have questions that need to be answered before the ball kicks off for real next September if they want to have any chance for a successful season. Some teams can answer their major question and still not have a successful season, while others can answer theirs and it will put them over the top. But they all have them, some more than others. In looking at the main issue facing each team, I thought we'd break them down into two columns by conference. The first one today is the AFC. The NFC questions column will follow early next week. AFC East New England Patriots What do they do to upgrade the receiver spot? They have two first-round picks in a deep receiver draft. That could lead to one of those picks being used on a receiver. And don't forget, they drafted Chad Jackson last year. He didn't play much in 2006 as a rookie, but he has skills. Jabar Gaffney and Reche Caldwell played well at times, but neither has star potential. New York Jets Who starts at quarterback on opening day? Chad Pennington had a so-so season for the Jets in 2006 and Eric Mangini has said the competition will be open come training camp. That means second-year player Kellen Clemens, a player the Jets love, could be in line to push Pennington out. Buffalo Bills What do they do to improve the run defense that was shredded all season? They have to get bigger in the middle of their line and they probably need to find a new middle linebacker. London Fletcher makes a lot of tackles, but he isn't a real thumper in the middle. He's a free agent, so a decision is needed there. Teams ran at will against the Bills defense; they gave up 140.9 yards per game. Miami Dolphins What's the status of quarterback Daunte Culpepper? New coach Cam Cameron has to find out where Culpepper and his damaged knee are in terms of progress. Then he has to decide how he can build his offense around him -- or if he can. Culpepper looked lost when he played last season. The knee injury was still a factor, but they don't have a lot of options other than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4HCrew Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Chad is a concern as always but establishing and stopping the running game is more of the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn306 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 QB will always be a concern. There are more pressing needs though in the backfield, CB, DL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFSIKH Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Hey Prisco...Youth in the linebacker corps is the greatest need. For as bad a game as Caldwell had, the defense, in particular the linebackers virtually disappeared in the AFC Championship game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I personally think Mike Nugent should switch over to QB....anybody with me on this?

I want Clemens to start next year..I'll come right out and say it..the only way the Jets win a Super Bowl with Pennington, is with a dominating defense...and the Jets are far from being a dominating defense.

PeterNorth09 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Pennington is one more bad injury away from retirement. Kellen Clemens blows and so does Patrick Ramsey. How is QB not a need? Jets Needs: QB DT OL OLB Pats Needs: WR Bills: Offensive Line Defensive Line WR CB - Clements probably will leave Dolphins: QB to fill in and compete with Culpeper (Damon Huard or Jake Plummer) Secondary Offensive Line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didnt even make the steelers team last year, practice squad player. Nice comparison! BTW, dont compare Tom Brady and Peyton Manning to Chad Pennington. You're saying that beating out Pennington would be just as lilely as beating out Peyton and Brady? lmfao And FYI, Chad was 3rd string to Ray Lucas his 1st year in the NFL, I guess Pennington must be worse than Ray Lucas because he didnt beat him out for the #2 his rookie year.

KINGDIRK Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 The most important position in football = Quaterback. Our quaterback has reached the plateau as to how far he can take us. Sure, we may be able to win a division, a home playoff game...maybe even a road playoff upset. But Chad will not be able to get us to and win a Super Bowl. Its as simple as that, and I love Chad. So this guy is correct in putting the QB position at the top of the list. If Tangini really believes in Clemens, get his as$ in there Week 1 of 2007. With Kellen at the helm we may have to take a small step back in '07 in order to take a big step forward in '08. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to see someone with such a lack of football knowledge as you would vouch for it. Oh and the only reason Ray Lucas was the back-up in 2000 was because the previous season he had the best year of his career filling in for an injured Vinny Testaverde. What did scrub Pat Ramsey do the year before coming here? Nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may sound crude and simple but QB is still the most important position in football. That is the leader of your team. By the way, Kellen Clemens still sucks.

Clemens sucking is irrelevant to the future of this franchise. Clemens is a 2nd round pick. The future of your franchise is in trouble when you waste a high pick and top $$ on a qb. Like Eli. We can soldier on with Chad or pickup a FA, like Brees, McNair, etc. No big deal. We have no way of knowing if Clemens sucks at this point, but that's not exactly a glowing recommendation.

JetCane Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 New York Jets Who starts at quarterback on opening day? Chad Pennington had a so-so season for the Jets in 2006 and Eric Mangini has said the competition will be open come training camp. That means second-year player Kellen Clemens, a player the Jets love, could be in line to push Pennington out. I take a couple of things out of this. First of all, Prisco isnt blowing smoke up CP's ass by kvelling about how great he was coming off surgery. "So-so" factors in the ints he threw, and other shortcomings. So, he isnt wearing his CP glasses. Second, and if this is accurate, it is BIG, imho. "Clemens, a player the Jets love" may speak volumes. A lot of us have wanted to know how he was doing in practice. I even asked Gross about it in a chat, but he wasnt able to watch practice. So, if this guy is accurate that a year later, the Jets still "love" KC, then I think he must be doing well learning the system, and they believe he could make a challenge for the starting spot next year. That is kind of optimistic for those of us who would love to see Clemens play next season. It's certainly a lot better than reading something like "the Jets have some doubts..." or something like that. So I take this little blurb as a good sign.

I too would love to see what we have in Clemens but not at the expense of a 5 win season-if Chad gets hurt at some point (which is a very real possibilty in this day and age) then yes I would...but from what I've seen so far I just don't know...
