Jamie Dukes: "A guy like Chad Pennington..."

Re: Jamie Dukes: "A guy like Chad Pennington . . ."

I could see that, but wouldn't it create some controversy next year when Smith returns? He's not a bad QB and is still young and developing.

As the saying goes, ol' noodle arm is just good enough to get you beat. We are witnessing the last days of Penny as an NFL starter.

I don't think so.

Probably his last days as the Jets starter.

He will then go through the normal life cycle of the vet who maybe never quite lived up to expectations (though I still think he is very good, just a weak arm).

Over the next five years he will probably play for 2 or three teams till he is finally relenquished to backup.
 
I like this quote:

"Such is the case for the San Francisco 49ers. The organization has done a tremendous job assembling all the pieces to be a playoff challenger. Imagine Tom Brady, Donovan McNabb or Peyton Manning at the helm of the 49ers. Truth be told, a guy like Chad Pennington would be the right guy for the Niners."

What? Are you kidding me? Yeah, the Niners have studs at reciever such as Darrell Jackson and Arnez Battle. Yes, Jackson has done well in the past with the Seahawks. But more recently, he has had many drops and gets injured often. Apparrently the Seahawks felt he wasn't going to be much of threat towards them, so they dumped him to a division rival for a fourth rounder. Isn't that what the Pats got Randy Moss for? I can't remember when or where I read it from but I like how the Niners came out and said they turned down the opprotunity to acquire Moss for a 4th rounder. Ha! Even the Niners accepted the trade, you think Moss would really restructure his contract to play for the Niners? And want to catch passes from Alex Smith? Vernon Davis has talent, but some people said that he is T.O. part 2. Don't even get me going with Battle and the rest of their WR's. I don't think even the best QB's in the league could do much with their recieving core. Also, their defense is overrated. Banta-Cain is a liability which every team tries to attack. Manny Lawson (someone who I wanted if the Patriots didn't take Maroney) is seen chasing running backs from behind alot. It's too bad he got injured but he hasn't been that great so far. Minus Bryant Young, they may have the worst D-line in the league. Pretty stupid how they put all their eggs in a basket and signed Clements to that 60-80 million dollar contract. Signing one CB isn't going to make your "team" better. Their safeties can hit, that's about it. However, I love Patrick Willis. That guy's a stud. The Cardinals made them look decent. St. Luis is pathetic. The got smashed against good offenses such as the Steelers and the Seahawks.
 
With noted exceptions like over-paying for Clements, etc, I still like what I see in SF. They are turning that team around nicely. Although Smith is improving and is a young QB, so is Losman, Grossman, and, hell, even Leinart may not be the answers for their respective teams.

A capable, (semi?-)reliable veteran may not be such a bad idea for a young team on the upswing. They won't be championship favorites, but "playoff contenders" is an apt possibility.
 
All he's saying is "no offense, Alex Smith, but anybody would be a better quarterback for the niners!" After Pennington he goes on to name Trent Dilfer... he forgot Jeff George or the ghost of Akili Smith, but I'm pretty sure he'd consider both of them "the right QB for the niners" next to Alex Smith right now.

Yikes.
 
Having Chad Pennington as your QB is like going 50 miles in your car on a long roadtrip after your gas light comes on. It'll get you along a little farther but you'll never get where you want to go.
