For once, we can all be CONTENT with our QB situation

For perhaps the first time in Jets history SINCE Joe Namath was at the helm, I believe its safe to say that every Jets fan should be fairly happy with our QB situation at this point in time, REGARDLESS of which camp you're in.

Pennington played one of his best games as Jet QB against New England, while Kellen Clemens put the Jets on his back in the 4th quarter against a top 5 defense in the Baltimore Ravens. Who you think should start this week, and for the rest of the season, is irrelevant. That's because, whoever is behind center, can be counted on. When was the last time we've been able to say this with confidence? When have we been able to say that QB is NOT an issue with our team?

Some may say "So what? We're 0-2!" Granted, this TEAM has several issues that need to be addressed. We have problems on both sides of the ball, especially in the trenches. Without steady improvement, we're in for a long season.

But looking at the bigger picture, we all know that the most successful franchises are the ones that have productive play out of their quarterbacks. We finally seem to have that, in part due to our offensive system but also because of quality play out of the Pennington and Clemens themselves. What was supposed to be one of our biggest issues (if not THE biggest issue) heading into the regular season has been reduced to, seemingly, a non-issue.

About half the teams in the NFL cannot say this.

QB was never an issue. I have said that all along.

Whether, its Pennington (prefferably) or Clemens we are fine at QB. Simple as.
