That's disrespectful to Brady, Rodgers, and Manning. Those guys are futuer Hall of famers, I never said Chad was on the level of the all time great Quarterbacks. But he most definitely was in the second tier of great Quarterback's. Chad is a clutcher, better, tougher version of Matt Ryan. And as we've seen with Eli and Flacco you don't need an elite Quarterback to win it all.
I would say he was a slightly above average QB that thrived on making short accurate throws and not making mistakes. Matt Ryan is a bad comparison cuz If you gave Pennington Julio Jones he wouldn't be able to hit him deep the way Ryan can. I think Alex Smith is a better contempary.
It seems as if you cannot read, I SAID imo Bledsoe does not count as a franchise Quarterback. And the SB does not tell us whether a QB was good or not. Trent Dilfer played in a SB, moron. Was he great? No. And before you try to tupidly twist my words again, IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FoRM am I saying Dilfer was just as good as Bledsoe. Pennington was very good, but I'm not going to call him a franchise Quarterback. Why? Well, he only had three great seasons. Once again, I gave credit to Bledsoe for '02. But unlike you I watched him in '03 and '04 and he sucked. Stop using meaningless fantasy stats and watch the games.
He was better than Alex Smoth and it isn't even close. Put prime Chad in a dome, and he'd light it up. Matt Ryan sucks out of a dome, and his arm is just as weak as Pennington pre shoulder imjuries.
Are you trying to tell me Matt Ryan was better than Chad?
Yes he is. Chad never had anything remotely close to a 5k season. Ryan has. Granted he has WAY better weapons and had to win shootouts cuz his defense blows donkey balls but Ryan can carry a team. I like Chad, respected his game and if we didn't have Brady would not mind a QB like him but if you think he could be the man and carry the team to the playoffs....well I would like some of your drugs. Pennington was one of those guys IMO like Smith who does not lose you games and if you have a good team around him can bring you far. Just not deep in the playoffs cuz good defenses can flood the middle and take away his bread and butter.
So your using yards to determine who the better QB was lol. You do realize before, that before 2011 only a handful of Quarterback's threw for 5k? You do realize Chad played in a less pass happy NFL right? If Ryan can carry a team, why did his team win win four games last season?He CANNOT carry a team. Only two, maybe three Quarterback's in the NFL can do that. I was agreeing with you until you made this bogus statement. Again, if you have time go watch some of those early '00s Jet games. Pennington took us to the divisonal round twice, and if it weren't for our crappy kicker, we would have played you guys in the AFC Championship game. You can twist the stats all you want, but all I know is that Matt Ryan has been medicore at best in the post season. But Pennington, for the most part, was sensational in the playoffs. Come up with a better arguement and maybe I'll agree with you.
I'm having a debate with a poster, who wants to talk football. If you don't want to be apart of this discussion , ignore my posts, like you said you'd do a week ago.
The Jets board I post on is filled with Rex homers, Idzik homers, and other bufoons, I'm tired of debating with. I honestly don't care about the insults and jokes, but I'm having a civil football debate with another posters, and this fool keeps saying "who gives a damn". It's fine, I'll just him on ignore.
You do realize four of Pennington's eight picks came against the Ravens in a 2008 wild card? That was post shoulder injury Chad, I've stated numerous times, that I'm comparing prime chad to Matt Ryan.
