BwanaZulia Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 It is twice now that it came up on Sirius NFL radio, they talked about Chad being someone that was going to be traded in 2008. Of course, KC was mentioned. Without turning this into yet another Bash The Chad thread, could you help me understand? Is this just crazy talk or is there real thought there?

Iceman88 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I think there can be real thought behind it. If the coaching staff thinks Kellen can handle being the starter next season why wouldn't they trade Pennington and get something in return?

drago Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 If I was the Falcons I'd trade for Chad in a second... I'm a bit surprised that the Falcons haven't made a play at Chad, or Kellen THIS season. Their season is already over if they go in with Harrington. He's not that bad, but he is certainly not that good either, and they have a lot of other pieces in place (i.e. decent recevers, pass rushers, CB's, TE). As BZ said, KC is going to be desperate as well...maybe not desperate, herm doesn't get desperate until it's already over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefenseWinsChampionships Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Chad just helped lead the Jets to the playoffs under a rookie head coach in Mangini, a first year OC in Martys boy, an O-Line that had 2 rookies in Brick and Mangold starting, a backfield with Barlow (Who just got cut from Pittsburg), Blaylock (Where is he now?) C.Houston (Where is he now) some backfield huh? A defense that could not stop the run, and at the same time still had 2 WR's in Coles and Cotch that put up Pro-Bowl type numbers. Chad is a winner... And if Chad HELPS this Jets team make the playoffs once again, he will be the starter ONCE AGAIN next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGHT STALKER Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 It's going to be an interesting decision after the season because Chad is due a boat load of cash in 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, KC was mentioned. Without turning this into yet another Bash The Chad thread, could you help me understand? Is this just crazy talk or is there real thought there? BZ Its a definate possibility. Chad will be 32 yrs old in 08 and is being way overpayed. Given those two factors combined with the fact that we got a young QB in Clemens who is undoubtedly beginning to close the gap...No, I wouldnt be shocked. However, if he is traded to the Cheifs, being a Jet fan I wouldnt be able to stop my fear of waking up one morning in February reading "Herm and Chad get it done in KC" in the sports headlines.

Ok but just like how Chad fans claim the coaching staff knows what their doing with making Chad the starter, if the CS decides Kellen should lead the team in 08 they know what their doing. They drafted Kellen for him to start sooner rather than later, if they think he's ready their going to play him and they should get something of value that can help us for Chad.

Iceman88 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Also I don't think Chad will go to the Falcons, I think Petrino is thanking God for the Mike Vick situation so the team can tank it and he can draft Brian Brohm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn306 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 The Jets didn't draft Clemens just so he could hold a clipboard his entire career. Eventually he will get his shot. Maybe sometime this year, maybe next year. Alot depends on Pennington. If he goes out and has a big year then he probably stays, if he struggles like he did at times this year OR if the Jets find themselves in a 3-5, 3-6 type hole then you HAVE to see what you have in Clemens. It all comes down to how #10 plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So lets say he plays this year out and they finish 9-7..miss playoffs...or even 10-6 and lets say they make the playoffs and win one game...either way...There is still a QB Controversy next off season with Kellen going into 3rd Season..

BZ What does that mean, "going to be traded"? If they think he is "tradable" or they think it makes sense to trade him - fine, they should state that as an opinion. If they expect us to believe that they have some kind of inside information from an organization that is more secretive than the KGB, they are full of sh#t.

penningtonfan82 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I don't see Chad not being the starter in 2008 unless something happens to him physically, or he has a season of under .500 football. If that happens, I would think it would be a possibility, but if it doesn't, Chad will probably be the starter for the Jets again in 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he doesn't get hurt he's going to have to have a 2002 like season to keep a full blown controversy from erupting next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY Jets Guy Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I'm a huge Chad supporter, and would love to see him stay, but it would make sense. - He's expensive in 2008 and Chad only helps us win in '08 as the starter or on the trading block; not on the bench. - There is promise in Kellen Clemens and another year under CP will be great for him, but I don't think he would be better than Chad next season (if you include attributes such as leadership, experience, heart). What its really going to come down to is the opportunity cost. Does the cost of CP give our team a better opportunity to win? The slight downgrade at the QB position could clear up cap space and provied draft picks/players that would greatly improve the team. They might be a better opportunity might be there in 2008. Another thing to think about with regards to that is; IF Chad struggles this year would benching him affect his trade value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetsfan420 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Chad would be a PERFECT fit on the Bears. Rex is garbage. Their defense keeps them in, and sometimes wins them games. They are a run oriented offense. His play action game would be in perfect use, and all he would have to do is manage the game without throwing picks. He wouldn't have to get 30 points a game. Sounds like a good fit to me. Chad for Lance Briggs straight up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Here's the thing: Once Kellen takes over in 2007, Chad wont want to be his backup in 2008. Chad will ask to be traded/cut, guaranteed. He's a goner after the season in which Kellen takes over. Hopefully, its this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serphnx Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Not many teams are going to offer much for him. With the money he is due, you just wait for him to be cut or you draft a QB high and give him a shot. Most of the teams in the league seem to have QBs they're waiting to develop or are already pretty set. We're not going to trade him into our division either.

penningtonfan82 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 This conversation is irrelevant right now, cause if they go 10-6 again with Chad at QB, and get into the playoffs and Chad stays healthy the whole season, the chance of him not getting the starting job again is slim.

NorthCoastJetsFan Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Put Clemens in as the starter before the end of the season and you will get next to nothing for Chad. No one will offer anything of value for someone they know HAS to be moved. I'm not saying I'm against putting Clemens in, just that we're all overestimating what the Jets would get in return.
