Charley Casserly says Pennington back with the Jets

Casserly on CBS says Chad will be back in 2008

Not sure if you guys are watching the CBS pre-game show, but Casserly said both McNabb and Pennington will be back with their respective clubs in 2008

I don't buy it completely, but just food for thought

 

Just saw it.....

 

Yeah, I just saw it too.
Maybe that just meant the Jets aren't going to release him.
He has trade value, if someone offers a pick for him then why wouldn't the Jets accept...
However, Mangini might want someone to compete with Clemens next season and does not have complete faith in Clemens yet.

 

Of course they would say he's going to be back, if the Jets said he were to be traded his value would drop b/c the team wouldn't have any leverage any more. If he's still on the roster come TC then I will believe it but the offseason is still very young.

 

He also said the Rob Ryan situation is unresolved

 

I don't disagree with this as Pennington is still a good backup.

 

Chad can be a solid backup. Why do alot of you want him gone? Yes, i can see why he should not start, but every team needs a solid backup. Depth is key.

 

Per the Rob Ryan piece... I found this interesting......

Yeah that is pretty interesting. I once envied the Raiders organization, Al Davis needs to step down.

 

If Chad is a good backup,then Clemens is a good waterboy.

 

Because this team has to move on.

I genuinely liked Chad Pennington and wish things would have worked out better. But this team badly needs to turn the page on the Pennington era.

 

Based off the performance of Clemens this season, I could see why the Jets would want Chad to remain on the team, even though he may not be an upgrade.

 

Here, Here!!!!!!

 

I still think he's gonna be off the team....

 

This better just be to increase his trade value, I don't want to see chad in a jets uni next year.

 

If Pennington is a good backup, then what is Clemens a good 3rd string QB?

 

i have been officially on the clemens wagon since day one but even i am not terribly surprised at this possibility.

clemens, in general, did not show much to the naked eye.....but the framework is there and its up to the jets to corral it.

i would imagine CP cap number is hefty in 08 but it may be worth it for stability and to avoid having to either draft or recruit a FA QB.

Writing off a QB after less than a half year as a NFL starter?

Whatever.

Doing that in a year with a very weak QB class...horrible

 

If he is back I would be glad to have him, as he could be a solid back-up, and maybe, just maybe a good starter as well (you never know what could happen to Kellen). However, I would definitely be happy if we received a high draft pick for him.
