Mortenson said he confirmed a report that Pennington was told he has a torn rotator cuff. It might just be scar tissue, but if it's torn he's done for the season.
Then he reported that the Jets might be interested in trading for Billy Volek (makes sense) or Patrick Ramsey. :-D
Brooks Bollinger will get the call on Sunday vs. the Ravens. I'm not a betting man, but if I were, I'd take the under.
Volek is better than Pennington right now. Pennington's arm is farged. It would be a good move.
Why would the Titans trade Volek when McNair is going to have the inevitable spleen injury anyday?
nfl network said that pennington is done for the year, this might be closing in on ending his career. about Ramsey being traded there are lots of taterskin fans thinking that this is a possibility. i could care less right now if ramsey is gone because he is never going to play for the taterskins ever again.
Of course they'll want Ramsey. Think how much money they'll save on relocation costs.
A midseason trade for a quarterback? I wonder what the Skins could even get for Ramsey at this point.
I think AJ Feeley would be a good fit for the Jets since he already knows the offense, and he can throw the killer INT just as well as Jay Fiedler.
Bollinger reminds me of a young Joe Montana. They'll be fine.

How does Feeley know the offense? He never played for Heimerdinger.

Very young. Possibly a 5 or 6 year old Montana.
Only without the innate talent.
Pennington has always been overrated IMO. He hasnt ever even started a full season in the NFL. His lone great trait was having good accuracy with short passes in the WCO. I cant really find anything else about him that was great. In the long run that doesnt cut it. Probably best for the Jets that they be forced to find a new starter.
He did have that sick juke a few years ago that left some DEN CBs jock laying on the ground.

The Jets are still running the same dink-n-dunk WCO offense with Heimerdinger as they did with Hackett.
And the winner is...

I love it when players get recycled over and over and won't just die the quiet meaningless death that they should.
I was talking about them getting Vinny yesterday. Except I was joking.
Pennington had little arm strength to begin with. I think it's time for the Jets to be thinking long-term at QB.
I still think they'll get another QB in via a trade. Testaverde is short-term fix. While he won't blow anyone out, he'll probably make less mistakes than Bollinger. And he does have better weapons than the last time he played. They'll still lose, but lose by less of a point gap. :-D

Yeah, well, instead of dying a quiet, meaningless death, he's making at least 5 times my annual salary with absolutely no expectations.
There are harder ways of making a living.
I think Pennington is shot. I think his career, such as it was, is over. I think big thoughts.

I think he may be done as a starter, but could probably come back somewhere as a backup if his pride doesn't get in the way. I'm pretty sure he's done with the Jets, and who else would want him in a starting capacity in the future?
he'll be a cardinal next year most likely
I don't know if he's done with the Jets. He signed a big contract recently, and if the Jets let him go they look like idiots. I think the bigger question here is whether or not pride will get in the Jets management's way.
I think by the end of this year, the Jets may be in the Leinart (sp?) sweepstakes.
Leinart is probably going #1 overall. #5 overall at the latest. I don't think they'll be that bad.

No way dude. Michael Robinson is going to be the surprise number one pick this year. Book it.
If you look at the Jets' schedule, it would be pretty damn difficult with a healthy Pennington. It's really going to be tough for them without. I'm not going to write it all out, but if you want, you can take a look here:

the jets are farged
http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-jets-pennington&prov=ap&type=lgns
both pennington and feidler are done for the season. i dont know if feidler's injury was posted anywhere
QuotePennington and Fiedler were on the same flight to Alabama on Tuesday to see Dr. James Andrews, the noted orthopedist who repaired Pennington's rotator cuff in February.
This guy's the farging "Angel of Death" for the NFL.
QuotePENNINGTON GETS SOME GOOD NEWS
ESPN'S Chris Mortensen reports that Jets quarterback Chad Pennington was examined on Tuesday by ubiquitous sports orthopedic surgeon James Andrew, whose examination did not find a conclusive tear in Pennington's rotator cuff. Andrews, per Mortensen, does not believe that the injury is career threatening.
The doctor gave Pennington exercises to perform for the next ten days, at which time Andrews will perform exploratory arthroscopic surgery.
Andrews also injected dye into the shoulder, and there was minimal leakage. This indicates that the injury is not significant. Andrews will no more when he re-examines Pennington next month.
Even if Pennington's ultimate prognosis isn't negative, there's a real question as to whether the Jets should give him the rest of the season off to heal. That way, he'll be ready to participate fully in the offseason program, and should/could be ready to go next year.
With that said, we can't imagine the Jets heading into 2006 without another potential starting quarterback. This is Pennington's third significant injury in three years, and they need to have someone who can stay healthy over the long haul.
Know what's funny?
The Ravens are 7.5 favorites this weekend. Brooks Bollinger or not, the stinkin Ravens do not deserve to be 7.5 favorites.
QuoteESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports the New York Jets inquired about the availability of Washington taterskins backup QB Patrick Ramsey. However, they were told he is not available.
:-D
Andy Hall's available.
Tim Couch?
I try not to play "grammar police" too often, but this type of mistake from supposedly professional journalists irritate me.
From Phreak's article:
QuoteAndrews will no more when he re-examines Pennington next month.
This is a mistake I can expect from my lower-end 8th graders. This mistake, however, should not be made by someone that is paid to write.
OK, off the soapbox. Carry on. :D
