I don't fault Chad P. for that pass at the end of the game. He was trying to win the game. Everyone in the stadium knew it was going to be a pass, time was running down and he had to have a TD. Go for it.
With all due respect... if you look at the position of both players, Ginn was completely boxed out by the time the ball went there. This means that, in normal circumstances, Revis was actually beat, allowing Ginn to get outside. If the QB had half a decent arm and vision, he could have nailed Ginn in no time - if Favre was there, maybe he could have threaded the needle like no one else. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- That aside, faulting Chad for the last second int is but stupid. Apparently, some people just don't understand the game at all. What was he to do? Throw away then go at it again? For the same result? If anybody wants to fault Chad, that has to be because he didn't intimidate the secondary with deep passes here and there, consequently crowding the box and making the running game ineffective as well. Chad at 4th quarter was one of the better showings, actually. *Was hoping for the last minute TD actually - so someone calling the play actually gets a wake-up call from the moment on*
That's just ridiculous. IF Chad had started for us (he would not have Clemens would have gotten the nod) but if he did we would have had a bad record again. Chad is a master of keeping scoring down and completing a lot of passes in between the 20s. He is good at dinking and dunking especially from a soft zone like we stupidly gave him in the 4th quarter. But once he is in the scoring zone, HE CANNOT GET IT DONE. Period. So he throws 2 incompletes but finishes the drive 6-9 for 54 yards and people think he was great. But he cannot get it done. People need to stop continuously making excuses for CHad. He looks good statistically but when the chips are down or he is in the red zone he simply does not have the ability to succeed consistently. So with Chad in his current form, you have a QB that will have reasonable looking stats, and play a lot of close games, but will lose the vast majority of them, but all the Chad supporters will see is a close game and some reason he did not get it done. The reason is that he cannot get it done. He is one of the least effective QBs in the entire NFL.
I have no problem with him taking a chance, that's what you have to do when the game is on the line. That doesn't mean it wasn't a shitty pass, and it doesn't mean that this game was a good example of how chad can bring a team back from behind to win in the 4th quarter. They lost, and he failed (yet again). Game over. p.s. - Pennington is a Dolphin now. Learn to hate him. You might as well have a Miami Dolphins logo as your avatar.
No excuses. Only facts. When he's been healthy he has won more than he lost. Your assessment only applies to 2007 (and he wasn't healthy then). And two of those games (Gnats and Bengals) were lost because the defense blew leads in the second half. Clemens has been a huge disappointment. Only wishful thinking makes him a better QB than Penningtron. I do concede that Chad is not a good comeback QB, although he almost proved me wrong last week. As it was, if he was qur QB and McCown was the Miami QB, the game would have been a blowout in favor of the Jets.
