Great story. I didn't realize there were rotator cuff problems with some QBs. Is Pennington playing this afternoon against the Jags?

A good story that poses some very interesting questions.

I remember those days of the Majik Man... He was suppost to be the savior of Green Bay and he did a good job while there but the day he went down will always be remembered by all Green Bay fans because that was the beginning of what I believe as one of the greatest QB's to ever walk on a field and not just because Im a Packer diehard and now its depressing to see such a wonderful career come to an end not to long from now

They've just pulled Chad early in the third quarter. He doesn't look comfortable even standing on the sidelines. Eugggghhhhh. I remember Majkowski. There was a lot of hope with him, and when he went down, the Packers just got lucky with Favre. They could just as easily have had no QB for the next decade (cf. the Bengals).

I wonder what happened to Lynn Dickey

Pennington sure as shit looks awful so far - and you've gotta worry about that arm strength. He was having difficulty hitting 30 yards in the first two weeks. It doesn't look good.

C'mon chuck cecil? Please tell me your being sarcastic.

Chad's got some severe problems. His passes were floating like balloons yesterday, and now it sounds like the Jets may be down to Brooke Bollinger at QB (maybe Vinny will be coming back). It's beginning to sound an awful lot like Majkowski. Majik hails from right up the road from me, the Polish quarterback captial of the world, western New York (Majkowski, Depew High School) and Ron Jaworski (Lackawanna High School), both outside of Buffalo.

Hey, Quincy Carter's available, as is Jeff George and Tim Couch. (I wonder if the Jets, Cards or Packers have called, say, Anthony Calvillo.)

daddisamm: Anthony Calvillo. Though on second look he's a little old, he's a proven QB who has won at the just-below-NFL level and whose arm is miraculously still connected at the shoulder. Seriously, though. If I was a GM anywhere, I'd make sure I didn't rule out anyone who's ever read a defense and still has all their limbs in working order. Arena League, Europe, sandlots, YMCA pickup leagues, troops currently serving in Iraq, whatever works. And it's only week three.

Let us pretend that movie never happened. Keanu should stick to playing French-Canadian goalies in sports films.

Jets Quarterback Chad Pennington Out for Season With Torn Right Rotator Cuff Three games into the season, and it is over for the Jets. Maybe for Chad Pennington, too. And we're not talking season. We're talking career.

"From now on it's Brooks Bollinger's team." ... And that's the sound of a million Jets fans turning the channel. Pennington's 29 now, so he ain't no spring chicken. He's probably done.

The above is of course assuming they go something like 4-12 and get a high draft number, which seems like a decent bet now.
