Chad Pennington

anning was honored with winning the NFL MVP Award for the 3rd time in his illustrious career.  Chad Pennington was honored with the Comeback Player of the Year Award for the 2nd time in his career.  In my opinion, Pennington should have won both, but I don’t get a vote…but someday I might?

I'm not here to rant and rave about Pennington being snubbed from the AFC Pro Bowl team.  Do I think the man deserved a spot on the squad? Absolutely. But, do I understand why he was left off the roster? Of course.  Pennington's numbers — 3,453 yards to go with 17 TDs and 7 picks — aren't quite as flashy as the stats Peyton Manning, Brett Favre and Jay Cutler have put up through the air this season, but they are certainly solid.  For the record, Manning has thrown for 3907 yards, 26 TDs and 12 picks, Favre has 3239/21/19 and Cutler has 4210/24/16 through 15 games this year.

They both have traits that every team looks for in a star Quarterback, unfortunatly, neither of them have all the traits they need.

Together they make the best Quarterback you can have, but this is not a science fiction movie. We can’t splice them together. I don’t think either of them is the QB of the future for this franchise, but perhaps Clemens can win the starting job and improve enough to make an impact. Or perhaps the Jets are a draft away from getting that Quarterback. For this year however, it will be either Pennington or Clemens. The battle will last as long as it takes Clemens to eventually win it, but I don’t think its beyond the realm of possibility for
