If this is the end of his career, I'd like to give props and respect to Chad Pennington.
Like many, I criticized his down-field abilities (abilities?) over the years, but I had the chance to watch him for several seasons here in New York. We can say whatever we want about how injury-prone he is/was, but one thing I learned in watching him play is that Pennington is a warrior. There was never complaining or "give-up" in him, even during long rehabs and periods of harsh media criticism.
Whatever his flaws, they were physical and not mental or attitudinal. If there is such a thing as a "Patriots kind of player," who has never worn the Flying Elvis, I'd have to put Pennington in that category.
Good luck to you, Chad, where-ever your life takes you next.
