I think if healthy Chad could've owned the majority of Jet records. Tough to say because Namath wasn't healthy either. Yeah, Chad just showed me the little things about the game, I never thought about. Really appreciated his approach to the game. I met Chad once, dude was a great person to meet as well. Lol that Bills DB needed ankle insurance for that embarrassment! I got so hyped on that play, remember it like it was yesterday. I hope one day, we find a QB that can do what both Chad and JWN did in terms of toughness, and IQ.
Even JWN compared Chad to Brady during the Kolber interview....okay, so maybe it was the booze talking.....
Most of the obvious ones have been covered already but I'd like to put Ken O'Brien in there. Not everyone realises that he developed serious bicep tendinitis in his throwing arm towards the end of the 1986 season and as far as I know never fully shook it off. He was never the same after the five-game slump at the end of the '86 regular season. Up until that point he was arguably the best QB in the league that season.
I didn't know that. Thanks. I think that Kenny O was mentally scarred/injured from the pounding he had taken behind the Jets' porous OLs during those years, because he got very tentative any time a defensive player can near him. I remember that awful play where he was running on a play and as the defender came towards him, Kenny just collapsed rather than take a hit.
My avatar. Erik McMillan was a beast. It wasn't just injuries that cut his career short but the Jets got an absolute steal out of him in the 3rd round. First two years in the league, 2 Pro Bowls and an All pro selection. Add him to the Hugh Douglass, John Abraham list of great talents that the idiot Jets brass foolishly parted ways with.
You are delusional. If Rex had Chad for his QB, they go all the way multiple times. They may not win it all every time, but they will be going very deep in any given post season.
He coaches middle school. I'm sure if he wants a job as an NFL QB coach somewhere he'd have it. He's got three kids so maybe he wants to be with his family right now.
I thing Rich Kotite's male pattern baldness, and accompanying enlarged prostate, may have cost us a few Lombardi trophies.
He didn't do anything after leaving the Jets, so I don't know if they were foolish to part ways with him. I read that they got tired of his "interception or bust" mentality. He made a lot of big plays early in his career but they steadily diminished as the mistakes and blown assignments piled up. I still liked him as a player and he was part of a great DB haul in that 1988 draft.
Pennington wouldn't have been a great QB but he could have lead us to a SB. The guy had great intellengence that made up for any physical shortcomings. He'll. He was almost a Rhodes Scholar. Randy Moss said he was the best QB he ever played with. Once he hurt his arm he was a shell of his former self.
Namath. Career cut short before he even got here. Said by some to be an incomparable athlete, pre-injury in the same class as Jim Thorpe. Toon. Chrebet. Pennington.
