im a gmen fan and i have been seeing the jets games when the gmen dont play at the same time. so my point is why is everyone blaming chad for the jets poor start. what games do u guys watch it might not be the same as me but how come nobody is complaning about the jets D or off-line or the running game. how is chad going to do good if the line cant pertect him.and with the D have u seen how they cant stop anyone. somy point is stop blaming chad. thats my opinion so whats urs?

only ignorant jet fans would blame chad.. the fact that clemens is starter now is not b/c chad is hurting us, its so we get an idea of what kellen can do. now that our playoff chances are completely gone and we have a good pick for next year, itll allow us to know where we stand/ what we need to draft.. say kellen sucked, which he doesnt and we have a top 4-5 pick, we could grab the top qb.. instead seeing he looks very good so far (mobile,cannon arm), we can focus the draft on d-line, o-line, maybe another cb, etcetc. chad also not either being able or choosing to stetch the field also limited our running game because they kept extra defenders in the box.. hell i think its the right thing to do to let chad go b/c he isnt a bad qb, he is a competitor, and he can help a team win.

Nobody blamed Chad for our slow start, everyone knows that we dont have the right system in place. However the knock on Chad is that he limits what this offense does to much. The thing he is noted for is his accuracy, he started to throw to many interceptions in the fourth quarter that cost us games. We were 1-7 and really had nothing to lose this year, there is a reason why we traded up for Clemens. We need to see if we have a legit QB here, thats the reason for the change.

Come draft time the rumors will be out in full force with the two teams Vikings and Chiefs being brought up the most.

^What are you talking about?....Only idiotic fans who don't know anything about the game has blamed Chad, he has done what he's told and our D and poor running game has forced him to do something he can't.

You know why people are blaming him? He is the scapegoat of the season. Who expected the O-line to be good? When we traded Kendall that put the end to our line being good. Can you honestly blame the defense? We have only a few guys that are good in the 3-4, Harris and Coleman.

Again ill repeat... Scapegoat. Then again its a kind of a cycle, years ago we called for Testaverde's head and wanted Pennington. Now we want Clemens and we got him. We were 1-7 with Chad, where was he taking us? It's what happens when you have a young guy sitting behind someone who is not doing good.

Sure Chad limited our offense then again Jones did not get enough carries. We had a brutal schedule to begin with, last year we had a cakewalk.

However at the same time you are going to say Chad is off the hook for his play this year? He killed us against the Bills and Bengals. He is simply not as accurate as previous years and it was time for a change.

The issue isn't that people "blame Chad", but looking at this organization objectively, where is Chad Pennington going to take you? The team was rebuilding last season and is still rebuilding this year. By the time we're fully assembled (another year or two, pending the quality of our drafts) Chad will be too old to run the team with an even weaker arm and slower footwork. Everyone respects him for what he's done with this organization, but we have to be realistic about what is best for the franchise. Let the kid play, break him in now so that when our team is finally ready to compete you've got a seasoned quarterback that knows our offense and his receivers.

Chad isn't a starter anymore, and he shouldn't be. It doesn't mean people point the finger squarely at him for our problems.

I don't follow football as much as b-ball, but while Chad may be the #1 recipient of the blame, he's not entirely the reason, and everyone knows that. This team is weak in several areas.

I don't think Chad is as good as his stats, because he never throws long, he's easier to predict, giving an advantage to the D of the other team.

At the same time, one sports announcer said there are probably a dozen teams in this league who would start Chad now. It's an interesting call by management. Cause, Chad will almost certainly be gone next year, but he'll also, almost certainly be starting for another team next year. He wasn't great, but he's had some good seasons with this team, including last year.

and he may be better than Clemens ever turns out to be.

So, interesting decision by the Jets - but I think the right decision. When you're 1-8 or whatever this team was at the time of the switch - why not try something new. I don't mind loosing Pennington, even if he's better than Clemens, cause I don't believe that Penny would have turned this team around in the next 2-4 years. Clemens might not either, but - hey, why not try.

and, I don't blame Chad, so I voted disagree.
