People are upset about losing pre season games, they are not even regular season games. Like I said, it is funny that people state they are willing to suffer through a rebuild and are upset after the kid has not played like an All Pro after very little experience. |

On April 2000, Bill Parcells and Al Groh selected Chad Pennington in the first round. Parcells had four #1 picks that year. The Jets made the decision they wanted Pennington to be the future of the franchise. Al Groh resigned on Dec 2001 and Parcells resigned Jan 2001. Shortly after Herm Edwards and Terry Bradway were hired. Herm brought in Paul Hackett.
Pennington was not Herm Edwards guy. In 2001 the Jets won 10 games with all of Parcells high profile guys. Curtis Martin rushed for 1500 yds, while keeping it out of the hands of Vinny Testaverdi. Pennington a #1 pick remained on the bench. In 2002, the fans were growing tired of Testaverdi inteceptions. Vinny was a vertical QB and was completely lost and ineffective under Hackett's West Coast offense. Pennington was more suited for short passes. During preseason in 2002, Pennington showed great leadership and accuracy on the field. He produced three TD's and no interceptions. Vinny looked terrible and continued to struggle. After listening to Herm's press conferences, fans were convinced that Pennington would be the starter for the 2002 season. But Herm picked Testaverdi to start. The Jets went 1-4. Edwards refused to give Chad a chance to turn it around until the six game with the season on the line. Edwards had no choice but make the switch. The remainder of the season, Pennington threw 22 TDs and only 6 INT. He posted a QB rating of 124.7 and a final week win over the Green Bay Packers, sent the Jets into the playoffs. As soon as the season ended, Herm continued to get rid of Parcells guys. He managed to put the worst offensive line together. Chad took the worst beatings -- his injuries were horrific. For the next few years, Herm lost all of the roster QBs to game-day injuries. During Edwards tenure with the Jets, not once did they draft an offensive player to groom on the offensive line. Pennington required rotator cuff surgery twice in his career among other broken bones -- Edwards did not have a problem giving up a second round pick for a kicker. During one game, all three QBs went down with an injury, leaving the Jets to find another QB future casualty to sign on Monday. Pennington's first professional game as an NFL QB was against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs won. |
