Hey All-

let me 1st state that I'm not a J. Fiedler Fan; however, this guy has to be one of the toughest guys ever!! Just think about it..............you are supposed to come in and replace Dan "F-ing" Marino!!! Talk about pressure.................Holy ****....................even if you play a perfect game and u F-up just a bit everyone backs the bus up over you!!! One of the only things I can say about Fiedler is: HE HAD THE HEART OF A LION!! Rememer the Radier GAme where Fiedler took a sneek up the middle (and just got smashed) as he was scoring the winning TD!!! Price less!!! How about when Fiedler drove the winning drive on sunday night in Denver when C. Chambers got his bell rung and fiedler broke his finger..................and mare kicked a 53 yarder to win the game!!!! Unbelieveable................I was in Vegas surrounded by Bronco Fans who were giving me Sh-it whole game...............and then we won...............imagine how I ripped into those fans...........................GOOOOOOOOOO FINZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!
I still don't feel like we have the proper Qb on our roster; however, I can't take away the "heart of a lion" that fiedler puts on the line each and every sunday. Don't get me wrong...............I threw up every time the went back to pass; however, at least he had the balls to try and flll in after Marino w/o the line and supporting cast marino had!!

Thanks for the comment, Jay.

I always hate it when my teams play against someone that they let go. That person has something to prove. Jay never lit anybody up (except the Jets on Monday Night Football and we lost) but he had a few good drives that won games for us. With that being said, he got worse and worse each year from a qb standpoint. IMO he would have been out of Miami 2 years ago without Ricky. I hope JT and the D has something in store for Jay.

I live in New York and haven't heard a thing about Fiedler starting. The reports on Pennington are that he's throwing and that although his shoulder is still stiff he plans to start. Sounds to me like a bad rumour

 

[TheMageGandalf]

Hard to believe that suddently Fiedler generates fear on us, like a lot of fans I did defend Fiedler at first, but I'am glad that his no longer in our roster, makes no difference to me in which team his going to play for, since I did come to the conclusion that is a mediocre QB. I dont hate him, I thank him for the efford that he display when he was with us. In reference the game against the Jets, if Fiedler is the QB, honestly I'am not concerne about it.

Well said, well said.

I personally though would take facing Fiedler anyday over Pennington.

Not that Pennington is all-world but he's better than Fiedler.

So for me this is great news if it turns out to be true.

Finally Jay Will Throw A Td To A Dolphin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ohhhhh man you stole my words...I was thinking the same thing!!!!
:yeahthat:

If any news is reported by PFT that is negative for the Phins it is completely disregarded by most, but something that could be negative for a division rival is different?

This rumor has been out there for a long time. With Pennington's injury hstory many assume it to be true. Imagine if PFT suddenly reported that Miami is likely to play the Jets in week two. Many would still consider PFT unreliable, but wouldn't suddenly consider it a lie b/c we've heard it elsewhere already.

I realize this is just Dolfans having fun speculating but if any of you actually believe this I'll post an article that has been basically reaffirmed by all the New york media. Pennington is starting the season. If we want to play against Fiedler then we are going to have to take out Pennington

(July 11, 2005) -- Questions about Jets quarterback Chad Pennington's surgically repaired shoulder are starting to disappear, right along with whatever days off players have before training camp begins.

Over the past couple of weeks, Pennington has been consistently throwing the football 30 yards without any problems. Those who have seen him say that Pennington looks sharp, and though his workload likely will be scaled back during training camp, he will be ready when his teammates report on July 29. At this point, there is no doubt that Pennington will be ready for the Chiefs in Kansas City for the season opener on Sept. 11.

Further proving Pennington's readiness and anxiousness for the start of camp are the actions he has taken. This month, Pennington arranged for each of his top four wide receivers -- Laveranues Coles, Justin McCareins, Jerricho Cotchery and Wayne Chrebet -- to travel to Sarasota, Fla., for extended workouts together. The quarterback and receivers have been spending time getting their timing down, learning the Jets' new offense, and trying to get as far ahead as they can with training camp just over two weeks away. If Pennington wasn't healthy enough, he never would have booked the trip. But Pennington has turned up the heat on himself in preparation for what awaits him this summer on Long Island.

The Jet that really feels invigorated this offseason is not Pennington, but Chrebet, who believes he can ring up a Pro Bowl-type season. Chrebet feels so healthy, so fresh, so excited about the new offense that he now is expecting numbers more in line with the ones he put up during the 2002 season, when he caught 51 passes for 691 yards and nine touchdowns. What's interesting about this is, after last season when Chrebet suffered the latest in a series of concussions, some people speculated that the wide receiver would retire. But Chrebet, who turns 32 next month, didn't. Instead, he is returning for his 11th NFL season with all the excitement of his first. If he can avoid another concussion, Chrebet will be a factor again in the Jets offense.

Kudos to him.

Like to see him do well, might prove an offensive line is all he needed.

Notice the author hadn't seen him throw the ball and likely the only people who have are in the Jets organization. They lied about his condition in the past so I don't know why we should trust them now. Rumors like this will likely persist until people see him throw in training camp and preseason.

I just heard Herm Edwards on NFL NETWORK and he said Pennington is doing great and will be there starter in Week 1
