Penning10toColes, nice poll. Tomorrow morning, please take the final results and send them to Coach Mangini. He will surely make his decision based on what the crazies at TGG.com think.
The Jets have the personnel to go vertical. Two receivers with great hands and after the catch running ability, a scatback who can take it 40 yards on any screen or dumpoff, a bruising back to keep the defense from dropping 5 men in coverage on every play, they have everything but the line to do it and Clemens showed some great improvisation and a fast release once he was freed to gun. BTW, the west coast requires a very tactically sound offensive line to run because so much of it relies on trapping and channeling as opposed to driving. The Jets offensive line is going to be worse running the west coast than what we saw Clemens try to do today once he got his feet on the ground.
What were those numbers they posted during the game of Chad as a starter vs. everyone else? Give Chad the protection, he'll deliver. Though it's good to see there's a real player waiting in the wings.
I love Chad big time but Clemens needs to get the reigns....He played damn good late in a LOUD home opener to the best Defense in the NFL. You cant punish him for some mistakes by the WR's. But if we were to do matchups, for some reason Chad just kills the Dolphins. Hes gone 6-1 vs them in his career I believe, so he gets us the better chance to win this week. But I voted Clemens because he showed something late in the game and got the rally to drive.
We would have lost 20-3 if pennington was playing today.(talking about the end of the game). Sorry, but Penny would not have made the throws Clemens did. I honeslty believe the WR's were dropping the passes because they werent used to Clemens arm strength.
I'm pretty sure we wouldn't have been down 20-3 if Chad was playing but that's neither here nor there Either way, looks like Jet Nation is split down the middle on this.
That why I said (at the end of the game). But yeah well never know. I think Penny would have gotten hurt again with the pass rush baltimore had.
KC showed us all something tonight. BUT, Chad is our guy. Play Chad. Then this offseason, transition into the Clemens era.
I lean towards Kellen for one reason: we don't know what we have in him, and I would like to start to find out, but I hate to have Chad's career as a Jet or as a starter possibly end like this, especially since he played fine against New England.
Clemens all the way. He got the ball right where its suppose to be.(J-mac Iv'e already said last year he suxs and Cotchery is a #1 WR big time) This game was lost by dropped passes. Maybe they aren't used to balls being thrown with velosity. Ole noodlearm(bye CP) floats his 11 yard heluim filled passes and gets his WRs killed.
I like them both... I voted for Chad cuz when he plays we win but I wouldn't mind a college platoon situation
Here's the interesting question: what percentage of the Chad voters are sunshiners and what percentage of the Clemens voters are darksiders? This might be a chance for a seismic shift in TGG's user base.
We're not winning shit with these lines this season, Clemens gets my vote for the future of the team.
I just hope the debate stays respectable and it doesn't degenerate into "noodle-arm" and "clemens sux0rs"
No offense, but are you really going to claim that McCareins has never dropped any of Pennington's passes?
No he makes them better by actually completing the pass because he doesn't throw it nearly as hard. Both WRs were wide open!! Also a little note to Clemens: The clock at the end of the field that counts down to zero is called the play clock!!! you must sanp the ball before it hits zero!!
Your right & Elway, Marino & Farve tossed hard just like him & they never won. Time to cut him before he hurts someone.
