Chad Pennington on NFL Network

Hammock Parties · 09-08-2005, 12:15 AM

Stole this from theganggreen.com:

I was shocked by this statement. Almost verbatim, it was something like this: "I'm not where I want to be, and I probably won't be until the end of the season. The goal is to go out there and execute the offense the way the coaches draw it up and try to put some points on the board. That's what I aim to do."

In addition to whatever this says about CP's physical condition, his tone and attitude spoke to a guy who is either (a) making excuses (not Chad's MO), or (b) possibly having a crisis of confidence with Dinger's offense.

I am not a darksider. I am simply reporting what I heard. I will look to the ranking members of this board for comment.

I will say this: Over the past several days, it has become obvious that Chad was perhaps more sheltered than we knew in the Hackett offense. Asking a guy coming off shoulder surgery to make hot reads on virtually every passing down may be asking a helluva lot.

Dammit, what did Taco say?

at the same time, Chad did lead the Jets to a playoff win and a FG away (2 chances) of an AFC Championship appearance with a torn rotator chuf. Say what you want about him, but he is a warrior.

His offense put up a grand total of 37 points in two playoff games.

I asserted that Chad Pennington's hype is out of proportion to what he's actually delivered.

I've no doubt he has the ability to be a great QB in the NFL any day of the week and he's pretty good when healthy, which hasn't been all that often. Comes down to execution at the most mental position in the game.

Actually, I was shocked looking at his stats. He's pretty average.

Best season was 3,120 yards passing and 22 TDs. In the two seasons since COMBINED he's put up less than 5,000 yards and 30 TD.

If our D hasn't improved he'll look like Joe Montana.

Pennington wouldn't have half the reputation he does if not for playing in NY. He has a very slow release and an extremely average arm. All his long balls are rainbows.

That said, he is a cool customer on the field and his teammates seem to gravitate towrd him as a leader so he certainly has the intangibles.

As a QB on a less than stellar defensive team, he would not be near as successful win-wise.

Are you trying to say that the QB can't pass it, and intercept it too?

Agreed. I have been underwhelmed by Chad.

Chad Pennington is what he is, an average NFL QB. I never got where his hype came from, other than him being a relativly high draft pick and well the NY media as was said before. He's a game manager, he's not gonna win the game for them. If we get in a shootout with them and make Chad pass to beat us, he won't, it's not his game.

As far as what he said there, it's pretty damn funny to admit that you're still injured. Then add on top of it that you don't really know the playbook either so it needs to be dumbed down for you. Way to instill confidence in your guys, especially before coming to Arrowhead.
