If you had suggested a month ago that Pennel would be fighting for a spot on the 53, I'd have reacted the same way as Andy. I had him as my #1 FA target before we got him so of course I had high expectations. However, things do appear to be changing. He really was playing with and against scrubs and didn't even look good there. That much cannot be argued.
That said, we saw Jason McCourty in a similar situation last year and he worked out okay, so Andy isn't completely wrong here.
Understood, I'm not ready to toss Pennel to the curb. I'm just asking an honest question: this morning Andy has repeatedly, confidently declared Pennel a starter. Why?
I'm ready to be convinced! I'm not here for pissing matches, I actually like it when somebody changes my mind. But I do need evidence, not just declarations that "I'm right so we need not discuss this any longer."
