LionelRichie Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 He better be pretty damn good for all the hype he has gotten. people need to have reasonable expectations. first start, no running game, no offensive line, and a great defense. as long as he doesn't pucker and just plays the game he will be fine.

I'm excited to see him play too. But I remember how Browning Nagle lit it up in the preseason and first regular season game only to be out of the league in a year. Just sayin.....

Why does Clemens get a built in excuse already? He has been sitting and learning for over a year. It is put up or shut up time against what is an overrated and injured Ravens team.

Columbia Jet Fan Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 It really is a shame that he had to start like this. I am all for any QB, I really like Chad as a person as well as a QB and I am one of the people who think we can go all the way w/ him at his best and healthy... But I am a Jets Fan.. Go Clemens!!

Smizzy Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 WHo is expecting this kid to come in and light up the Ravens defense in his first NFL start? You guys are jumping the gun a bit. If he goes out and limits his mistakes & keeps his turnovers down ,I will be happy. You have to learn to walk before you can go winning foot races.

Exactly. Why does Clemens get a built in excuse already? He has been sitting and learning for over a year. It is put up or shut up time against what is an overrated and injured Ravens team. Because there are somethings you don't learn from watching the game. First hand experience is crucial and he is just getting his first taste of it. You want him to go out in his first start and overcome obstacles our veteran QB couldn't overcome last week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I remember how Browning Nagle lit it up in the preseason and first regular season game only to be out of the league in a year. Just sayin..... are you serious? look at alex smith, #1 overall pick - he is still learning in his 3rd year as a starter. eli manning struggled in his 2nd year as starter, leinart is still a work in progress, carson palmer's 1st year as a starter was a learning experience, and the list goes on. players learn by playing so clemens will only get better in time. to think he is going to go from holing a clipboard to canton is a little unrealistic. i can't wait to see all of the posts about how awful clemens is if he struggles. it takes time for a qb to develop.

It is put up or shut up time against what is an overrated and injured Ravens team. Its his first NFL start for christsakes. Not to mention on the road in Baltimore against a top tier defense. If he struggles or plays decently you can not judge him on one game, especially his first career start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad was at home playing the Kansas City Chiefs defense. You be the judge on whose the better defense and if its easier on the road or at home. That being said, if Kellen outperforms Chad's 1st ever start this argument doesn't matter. Plus, you can not judge Chad Pennington 2002 to Chad Pennington 2003-Present.

I think it has been said 4,000 times this offseason....If Clemens was ready to be the starter,Mangini would have named him the starter,right? Well Chad is hurt and Clemens is now being put in a role just yesterday everybody was saying he wasn't ready for. Now he gets he job and everybody wants him to prove himself in one game?

LionelRichie Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 We aren't talking about Alex Smith or Eli. We are talking about how Kellen is better than Chad right? here we go again.... i think most people agree that a healthy chad gives the jets a better chance to win today. the problem is that long-term chad has already reached his ceiling. his limitations with mobility, arm-strenght, and slow release prevent the team from getting over the hump. chad has also had 5 years to show that he can remain healthy and lead this team to the super bowl. if 5 years from now clemens has taken this team beyond the 2nd rd of the playoffs then it would be time for him to go as well.

Iceman88 Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Why does Clemens get a built in excuse already? He has been sitting and learning for over a year. It is put up or shut up time against what is an overrated and injured Ravens team. It's not an excuse, what I would consider a good first start from him won't only have to do with his stats for the most part. If he looks like he has a good grasp of the offense and being able to read defenses and the rush I will be happy. I don't expect a three TD performance but I want to see the ability for him to become the guy who has three TD performances in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BwanaZulia Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Hope he does well and is a star. He is the future, just didn't think it would happen this quick. It would be nice to have two really good QBs to fight over. BZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, we're up to 4,000 times alreay. I asked basically the same question and you told me 400 times a couple of days ago...my, how time flys. Anyway, I don't have high hopes for this kid just like I didn't have for Pennington...here's hoping my gut feeling is wrong and this kid lights it up. If anything, come out of the game healthy.
