smithmal Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Evidentially the report below was made in haste (thanks sableholic) ESPN.com news services Two major shoulder operations apparently aren't enough to pry the Jets' starting quarterback job away from Chad Pennington. A team official with knowledge of the Jets' plans told the Newark Star-Ledger that Pennington has won New York's starting job. New coach Eric Mangini began camp with a four-way competition for the job, with Pennington competing against Patrick Ramsey, Kellen Clemens and Brooks Bollinger. "We're surprised at the progress he's made," the official told the newspaper. "No one expected him to be this far along this early." The official told the Star-Ledger that Pennington surprised the organization with his arm strength and accuracy early on in camp.

tr1 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Good news for the Jets, bad news for PR. I think PR may get cut...and end up with another team before the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sableholic Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 should be merged with that other thread, but anyways heres what I posted there: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2537001 Quote: Cheer up Patrick Ramsey, Kellen Clemens and Brooks Bollinger. The Jets' starting quarterback job could still be yours after all. A source with knowledge of the situation told ESPN that a Newark Star-Ledger report that Chad Pennington had won New York's starting quarterback job was incorrect.

bubba9497 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 With PR getting five snaps in practice was there any doubt??? :doh: What PR needs is to go somewhere and be the backup, no pressure, learn the sysytem and when he gets a chance to play with relaxed... I believe he will do great. I think most of his problems have been he has been in a fish bowl his whole career and no one has ever really had confidence in him enough for him to feel secure. He isn't going to be a Manning or Brady type QB, he will throw some INTs. but he can have a solid career if he could land a job where the team had confidence in him, and he in hisself.

Warhead36 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Ramsey is now fully set on his next career path: career backup journeyman. Still, wish P-Rams luck. Pennington is injury prone so Ramsey still may have a shot at playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLongshot Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Pierce he didn't send packing. Money did. You can say the same about Smoot as well. The Skins wanted to resign both. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooper Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 He has to do it himself, Bubba. He's in the NFL -- people aren't going to handle him with kid gloves. Lots of qb have been in far worse situations and proved the doubters wrong and made people believe in them by consistently performing well when they got the chance. And if he's only getting five snaps, there's a reason for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 These events support my position that guys who constantly sang the "Pat just never got a fair chance from Gibbs" tune really were tone-deaf, but I still hope for the best for Pat because he is such a good guy.

Arsenic Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Antonio Pierce?Champ Bailey? Pierce may be the exception, but the coaching staff praised him a lot. He just wanted the extra $$$. Bailey's departure was almost set in stone before the staff got here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVAbrendan Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 So many people forget the Ramsey was the named the starter last year untill he got hammered. Yes, however it seemed as if Joe named him the started because he said he would. As soon a he had the opportunity to replace him, it was done. Joe didn't want him starting.
