TC4 Posted August 24, 2003 Author Share Posted August 24, 2003 More on the subject from over at GangGreen.......... He required 7 pins in his hand to set 5 broken bones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy-the-Greek Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 Thanks for the update TC. If Vinny can keep the jets at .500 that will still give Chad enough time to rallying them into a playoff spot. All is not lost for Jet fans. The Glass is extremely half filled.

Oldskool Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 yeah he's going to be doing physical therapy sometime in Feb probably. With that kind of injury, he'll be lucky to be 100% for training camp in 2K4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom [Giants fan] Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 The article also said that sources within the Jets said there is the chance Pennington is out for the year. This is a pretty bad injury. Herm Edwards did say this wouldn't effect Pennington's career. He can make a complete recovery. I am sure he will make a full recovery but this is going to take a lot longer than anyone thought. This could be a six to eight month recovery time. I can't see him playing this year. If he has to stay out the year, he should do it. There is no reason for him to come in for five or six games if it will be a risk at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Easy Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 Well, that ends my speculation in another thread about having seen a QB play effectively with a soft cast on a broken non-throwing wrist. Shaun King in college had only a broken navicular bone as I recall. Five separate broken bones? Ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooma Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 Who else do the Jets have at QB? The third stringer Bollinger sprained his knee. I guess the Giants field turf isn't as flexible as the grass then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom [Giants fan] Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 jbooma, The turf at Giants stadium had nothing to do with any of the injuries that occurred last night. Actually, if the artificial turf had still been in, Pennington would have been in a lot worse shape if that is possible. Bollinger sprained his knee because a Giants player got pushed into the side of his knee by a Jets OLinemen. Pennington's wrist was just bent very awkwardly and used to soften his fall. The turf had nothing to do with it. Both teams love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC4 Posted August 24, 2003 Author Share Posted August 24, 2003 Well over at GangGreen, there is still some denial about how long he will be out: http://forums.theganggreen.com/index.php?showtopic=8608 And while you are at it, have a look at who they are thinking about for backups: http://forums.theganggreen.com/index.php?showtopic=8612 Both of these threads were started by someone named hikeman30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redman Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 If he's out 10-12 weeks, and the Jets are 4-6 or 5-7 or something, I could see them keeping him out for the rest of the year to ensure that he's fine for next year. This is a major injury for them, one that greatly affects their season, almost as much as Vinny's achilles injury in 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdmiralWaugh Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 Of course, I prefer to face Vinny than Chad, but I thought he had a pretty good attitude and spirit about him, plus he seems to say the right things, not unlike Ramsey, so I predict that this will enhance his rehabilitation and give him a chance to come back well. What's better is that he's not really going to be challenged or outshone by anyone for the QB job like say Warner may have been by Bulger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCS:BraveCaringSoul Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 This may be career threatening. Hikeman30 at gangreen wrote... (hikeman30 @ Aug 24 2003, 03:02 PM) This 12 weeks out is just BS, trust me guys. It is a nonthrowing hand, and they set it last night. I have seen people come back in 3 weeks from these types of injuries. I am tellnig you it is in the Jets best interest to extend the time other teams think he is out. I see Vinny T getting us to 4-2 and Chad stepping in and getting us o the bowl. I refuse to believe that a nonthrowing injury is gonna keep CP out, it is all BS. I wrote a scathing letter to the Times rippnig them for thinking it would be the whole season....jackoff's. I am so pissed I could beat up a pats fan. MizzouJet replies... "You gotta be kidding... By the ESPN report, Pennington had SEVEN pins placed in his wrist to achieve fixation. Now, I've been involved in over 1000 wrist operations (as an anesthesiologist, not an orthopedist), but in over 12 years of doing anesthesia and observing fixation of "broken wrists", I've NEVER seen anyone require SEVEN pins to achieve fixation. If this is true, he probably tore every ligament in his wrist along with breaking various bones... I count him as lost for the season...and if he comes back for the final 6 games, that will be a miracle. Knowing Penny though, I wouldn't count him out. But SEVEN PINS? WOW...

CBMGreatOne Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 Wow, that Hikeman guy is a real dumb@ss. It's actually sad to see that kind of crap. Now they're turning against each other. They just need to recognize the reality of the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy-the-Greek Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 If he is healed in 12 weeks and the Jets are 5-5 or 6-4. Do you let him play? If the Doc's clear him and he feels ok is it rushing him? Chad seems to me to be a real competitor on the field. How do you keep him off the field if he is cleared and they have a chance to make a playoff run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBMGreatOne Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 Another guy over there is blaming Fassell for the injury, saying the deceptive blitz was uncalled for and that they may have been gunning for Pennington, some guys over there I'd be embarassed to have rooting for my team.

BCS:BraveCaringSoul Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 I'm surpised they haven't started a petition to have Fassel suspended for making the "unnecesary and deceptiive" blitz call and Brandon Short arrested and summarily executed for tackling Pennington so hard. Jeez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Mike Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 To be fair, the guy who blamed Fassel was pretty much ridiculed by everyone else. The denial regarding the severity of Pennington's injury however does not suprise me. There are some people over there who have lost all touch with reality. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 Agreed Mike. They seem to have shut out the guy who blamed Fassel. But, man, they are totally ignoring the severity of the injury. One guy started by saying a foot doctor friend of his said 1 to 3 weeks. Then, he said he had a buddy in the PR department who said 6 weeks. Then when the team announced 12 weeks he said that's bunk and it'll be more like seven. Right, like he'd know and the team is doing this for deceptive reasons. Sheesh. If he comes back early that's great, but the expectation is at least 12 weeks and I'd be surprised if he plays at all this year. They are an interesting bunch over there.

SonnyJ Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 The really tough call is if they even keep him on the active roster come cut time. Keeping a player on the roster who may not play a down all season, at the expense of another player they may want to keep, just sucks. Basically, they are going to have to carry 4 QBs, with Pennington on the Inactive list each week. What a waste. It would almost be better if his season was definitely over. Then the team and its fans could just move on w/o him. Now, his status will just linger in the air. If the team starts going into a funk, he may try to rush back, which would be a very bad idea. It's likely he'll be rusty when he comes back, at the very least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskin28 Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 This is typical of New York fans. They could care less if the potentional of his arm falling off exists, as long as he can throw the ball. I don't know why there so dissapointed anyway, the Jets weren't going to do anything this year. All this means is that they will move up on the draft board for 2004, and possibly they can draft a kid to replace Coles. Maybe with a couple of free agent signings, they can get back to the wild card for 2004-05 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
