Nothing different? He had the best season of his career, he played a full schedule without injury so only the second time in his career, he lead a 1-15 team to the playoffs and a division title....how many division titles did he win as a Jet? No, he didn't do anything different.
On and on the broken record spins. The end result was the same as it's been his whole career. Stats mean zilch when you can't advance pass the 2nd Round. But if Chad's stats are your comfort blankie, that's cool... in a really dumb way.
Yes.... having recognized that the Dolphins were missing both starting guards in the playoff game, and that their replacements couldn't pass block their way out of a wet paper sack.... this guy could never be a Jets fan. Jets fans have been able to ignore their putrid, crappy offensive line - and blame Chad Pennington for years.
I'm the one spinning the broken record. Chad goes to a new team and all Jet fans are spewing is the same nonsense misguided hate they were spinning before Brett went to NY and produced the same exact results. A HOF QB does the same damn thing in a Jet uniform and you still don't get it. I feel sorry for Sanchez, he's next.
We had hope for Brett because he proved that he could not only get his team to a Conference Championship, but also win a Superbowl -- because he has actually acheived those things. Chad's biggest achievement is leading the league in Completion Percentage. But he's most notorious for being a house-of-cards against tough Defenses in the Playoffs -- which he once again proved this past season.
Actually Chad went further than Brett, so I'm not sure what you're getting at. As far as the end result, it was the same nonetheless. First round bounce. There's not much more that can be said, is there? He broke this record, that record, brought them to 11-5 (all by himself, I'm sure) from 1-15...it's all pointless. The end result was the same, it's just a different excuse this time. Maybe if he had a better arm he could have beaten that pass rush with some nicely placed passes. Maybe they could have used some screens. Oh wait nevermind, the box was stacked. Blitzing D's leave themselves vulnerable, generally in coverage. Too bad Chad couldn't get the ball out there quick enough to take advantage of it, huh? Yep, too bad.
pssst... it's never Chad's fault. It's always: the injuries, bad coaching, no running game, lack of talent at WR, melting icecaps, the rise of gas prices, a meteor heading towards Earth, the bad eggs - which he didn't buy; someone else fucked up by not checking the expiration date - he ate for breakfast... Poor, poor, unfortunate Chad.
