I mean let's face it, Chad Pennington was a godsend last season. He was actually a real good guy to have leading a young 1-15 team while your 2nd round future Henne was ready. We as a team overachieved and made the playoffs, and Chad became a hero. We accepted his poor performance against Bmore because u know what . . . AFC East champions was good enough for the majority and we gave him a pass. Truth is, last season, we beat the teams we were supposed to beat and we didn't look good for the most part against teams we weren't supposed to beat.
Fast Forward to today and just like last year Arizona . . . Chad has a bad game early and fans want to get rid of him.
Here it is in a nutshell. Pennington is still the best QB on this team . . . he is the most proven, most accurate and most able to lead. But understand this . . . I am certain he will NEVER lead this team to greatness . . . . seriously, when u have chances to go down field and u aren't confident enough to make the throw . . . that is a problem. I mean our WR's are getting seperation . . . just not enough seperation to accomodate the weak arm of Chad Pennington. The Oline will be fine . . . they need to gel . . . and Chad can win us games . . . he proved that last year . . . but he isn't the guy to lead this team to greater things. He will keep us competitive, and some fans are content with that. But he doesn't have what it takes to be that big time QB a team can lean on when the running game is shut down. You can only dink and dunk so much . . . we need a 50 yard pass or 2, something that shortens the field.
These guys gotta consider Henne at some time this season . . . preferbly after the OLine gels . . . because you just gotta try to get your big armed future some reps in a real game and who knows . . . maybe he will come of age. Chad Pennington just was really frustrating today, shaky OLine or not . . . I have seen much worst oline play before and the QB still ATTEMPTS to throw down field . . . every defense is going to shorten the field against us because they know we wont throw it far. Hell a deep pass from Pennington is more of a trick play than the wildcat . . . that is sad.
We have the Colts next week . . . I still think Chad Pennington needs to get in there and run this offense and don't turn the ball over. But if we ever want to aspire for greater goals, we may have to use this year, take our lumps and get Henne in there.
