I said Chad wouldn't be able to come back from 2 shoulder surgeries and play QB. I just felt the need to publicly admit I was wrong. :shit:
Agreed. A real man can admit when he's wrong. Too many people continue to knock Chad simply because they were wrong about him (Ms. NY Jet). I can't really blame you for doubting he could come back...considering no one has ever done it before. But I give you kudos admitting to eat crow.
I also thought Pennington wasn't going to do anything good this year. Why The Noodler can't admit he was wrong is . . . . well, wrong.
props to you...now how many people would be able to admit they were wrong when something doesnt turn out for the better, but for the worse? say Ben Graham turns out to be the worst Punter the Jets ever had...( wont happen) with all the B Graham love, im not too sure someone would admit they wrong if that happened, or something to that extent
I had no doubts at all. I was sure he was done, and can admit easily that I was wrong. However, this is a 16 game season, and I'd like to see that shoulder hold up for a while longer before I am confident he really is back. I really like what I have seen so far, though.
i think we all know what he was capable of when he is on the field, and im glad he can return to form in terms of being able to pass the way he used to, but what i really want to see is him last 15-16 games this season....then we can all say we were wrong, because thats where i feel we all gave up on chad..i know i did
I have to admit something. I didn't know you said that. And if I did, I'm sure it would have been mixed up with the 10000 other claims that he was done. I can actually admit I was skeptical that he would be able to return and was in favor of drafting a QB or some other replacement plan (I actually wanted McCown first and foremost, so....) but still wanted to give him a shot to play.
Exactly. Wanted to see him come back, but didn't think he'd be able to. Glad I'm wrong. I just hope he makes it through the season. I thought his knee was blown out on that pass to Cotch Rocket.
I was big on his ability to come back until the draft. When Mangini was interviewed and he all but said there was no way Penny would be okay in time for the season (right after drafting Clemens) I figured he knew better than I, so it was all over. I still held out hope, but the closer to preseason we got the more I felt like it wouldn't happen. Then preseason started, and I saw that he had the spark again. I wasn't sold yet, but after the Titans game I was. After the hits he took, and the throws he made against NE, I am fully confident that is going to be fine. Sure, I still wince a little every time a defender gets near him, but I would probably be a lot like that regardless of the QB.
I doubted that he would play at his top level again but I never doubted he wouldn't come back. I always had a feeling that he would be our starter going in to this year. Now that he here I am just remaining optimistic that he remains healthy.
Way to "man up." Too bad others on this board not only can't admit they were wrong, but root against him and the Jets just so they can be proven right about Pennington.
