Glazer: Bills interested in Pennington

[Carlton Bailey]

No link, but I was watching Mike and the Mad Dog about 40 minutes ago, and Fox Sports' Jay Glazer listed Buffalo, Miami, New England and Minnesota among the suitors for Chadwick.

[DraftBoy]

:wtf:

[Slim]

lol. If we cut Jp maybe?

[Ebenezer]

lol. If we cut Jp maybe?
he's better than JP.

[raphael120]

Veteran to help Edwards learn and a better safety valve than JP. I'm game.

[Goobylal]

I would assume as strictly a backup.

[ZacGriffi~82]

What better man to tell us about Mangini's offense.

[Luisito23]

I hope we get him!...I've always liked Chad, and I think Trent would benefit greatly from him.

[trapezeus]

waiting for JP fans to compare TE and chad's arm strength. Clock is ticking. Perhaps the JP fans are as mentally slow as their favorite QB of all time.

I asked his trade value hours ago, no one defended JP.

[njsue]

Bill Parcells will get him in Miami.

[Mudflap1]

Holcomb 2.0

[Yasgur's Farm]

No thanks... JP and Trent are our QB's.

[Night Train]

Chad = Kelly Holcomb version 2.0

[RockStar36]

Good god...just what we need...wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man

[Crisis]

no thanks

[SABURZFAN]

Bill Parcells will get him in Miami.


that's what i'm thinking. he could easily start in Miami.

[Lexwhat]

No thanks... JP and Trent are our QB's.


What's so bad about Pennington? JP is not gonna be here next year, and if we don't sign someone, one of our biggest holes next year will be backup QB. If we can get our backup now, it's one less thing we have to worry about next offseason.

I see nothing wrong with signing Pennington to a 4 year contract to be our backup, and then trying to trade JP for draft picks.

As far as backup QBs go, I can't think of a better option than Chad Pennington.

(Assuming Pennington is even willing to accept a job as a backup).

[Yasgur's Farm]

Pennington has no prayer in the winds at the Ralph!

[BuffaloBills28]

Imagine how much better Trents dump down passes will become with the king of short passes guiding him!

[Confused]

ef dat poo.

[Jan Reimers]

Pennington may have the weakest arm of any QB I've ever seen in the NFL. Imagine him when the winds are howling at the Ralph.

[Night Train]

Precisely, my friend. It's called 10 in the box.

The 11th guy is back fielding the punt.

[W1DER1GHT]

Oh yeah, lets bring a guy into Buffalo that can't throw the deep out on sunny day. Just say NO to Chad "Noodle Arm" Pennington.

[Ebenezer]

Hilarious...Chad's stats have been removed from NFL.com already....lol...

[Carlton Bailey]

Pennington as a quarterback > Losman as a quarterback.

Pennington's brain > Losman's brain.

If it's possible, get him in as a backup. You want your No. 2 QB to not lose the games for you; well, that pretty well describes Chad. Losman is a failure of epic proportions.

Ultimately, I expect to see Pennington as the Dolphins' starting QB come Week 1 against, of all teams, the Jets.

[T-Long]

still no link?

[DrGraves]

IF PENNINGTON COMES TO BUFFALO I WILL NO LONGER BE A BILLS FAN I SWEAR TO GOD

[Akhippo]

I have no problem with Chad as a backup. Arm strength is a non factor if your on the bench. I do trust him coming in and winning a game if need be. He would be the perfect teacher to our STARTER Edwards. Pennington is one of the smarter qb's. Has to be with a lack of arm strength.

He has taking a less than spectacular Jets team to the playoffs a number of times. JP.... not so much. Lock him up for 3 years and the backup QB position is solid.

I forgot though. Everybody wants Brady as our backup. Why not Eli, we can get him to backup.

[Nighthawk]

IF PENNINGTON COMES TO BUFFALO I WILL NO LONGER BE A BILLS FAN I SWEAR TO GOD

Now, is this a promise?

[yordad]

I asked his trade value hours ago, no one defended JP.JP is his own man. He'll be doing the talking while smackin' up second stringers soon enough. If the Bills wanted to get rid of JP, do you not want the Bills to get something? What is your best case scenario?

[yordad]

Was anyone surprised to see the Patriots on that list? Hmmm, wonder why?

:rockon:

[bluerosekiller]

Strictly as a back up, I'd love to have Pennington.

He'd be an infinitely better, more productive asset during game prep, in practise & on the sidelines than a disgruntled Losman IMO.

[Crisis]

you'll love pennington as a backup until hes forced to play and he throws his first out that rodney harrison is runnin back for 6

[Ebenezer]

IF PENNINGTON COMES TO BUFFALO I WILL NO LONGER BE A BILLS FAN I SWEAR TO GOD
you would stop being a fan of a team because of a possible back up QB?? that's pretty weak.

[RedEyE]

One thing for sure is that Pennington could be more valuable to this team then Hamden. He definitly knows the Jets offense and could provide significant insight that could prove helpful late in the season.

Are you kidding?? A journeyman nobody is far better than an old "noodle arm" who has led teams to a playoff.

:sarcasm:

[Typ0]

If the teams physicians and coaches get physicals and CP is healthy he would be a great pick-up at little cost and could really help the team. Contrast to what is being said in this thread he does not have a weak arm if he's healthy. The player can return to form and become very viable and CP would be a good guy to take that chance on. However, my guess is he's washed up which is why Favre got traded today.

[Mitchell55]

So we could have a DT who played Favre. A former starting QB of the Jets. We should get him. Alot of insite on the Jets. Now all we need is a patriots reciever so we know there Offense. Miami would be a waste. We could give them our play book and we'd still beat them.

[Carlton Bailey]

still no link?
Linking words spoken on the radio/television is tricky business. I'm good, but I'm not that good.

[BlackMetalNinja]

We all know Chad has no arm... he also happens to have the highest pass completion percentage in NFL history... JP Losman... well, he doesn't.

Unless we are going with my excellent plan from yesterday to have Losman come in to throw deep balls and Edwards for short patterns, than I see no harm in letting Losman go and bringing Chad in I guess. Losman is as good as gone after this year at any rate and Chad would certainly be an adequate backup. Thing is, I think Chad can still find a starting job somewhere, so we're probably not real high on his list of places he'd like to be.

yeah, what he said.

[mybills]

Look what happened last time we got a used QB within the division.

[THATHURMANATOR]

He wouldn't be the starter Beth.

[Bill Brasky]

this thread is hilarious. for years you guys have ripped pennington. even up to last year you guys were saying how jp is better, now all of the sudden he's better than losman. you guys are great!!!1

[mybills]

He wouldn't be the starter Beth.
I know Corey. It doesn't usually happen anyway, so I don't see him coming here. He should play for the NFC.

[THATHURMANATOR]

He should go to the Vikings.

[djjimkelly]

if we truly are interested in pennington this truly shows we a real joke of a franchise and our coaches/management truly have no clue what they are doing

[justasportsfan]

he's better than JP.
he's also better than Trent

[justasportsfan]

If we bring in Chad ,there's a chance that Hamdan will be seeing the field. Both TE and CP have durability issues.

[mybills]

he's also better than Trent
they would definitely have to compete for the starter position.

[Typ0]

Look what happened last time we got a used QB within the division.


yeah...he was the best option and we bought him in and had a very exciting offensive season despite the team being totally rebuilt. It was the last time this team was worth a crap.

[mybills]

he nose dived.

[djjimkelly]

as much as i dislike edwards i put him ahead of pennington.

[Typ0]

he nose dived.


what were the other options? He was the absolute best option and you should have some respect for the organization for pulling the plug and getting him here. And like I said, the first season he was loaded with weapons on offense and things went pretty well.

[Typ0]

he nose dived..

he didn't nose dive either...he played exactly like the player he was.

[BleedinGreenNC]

this thread is hilarious. for years you guys have ripped pennington. even up to last year you guys were saying how jp is better, now all of the sudden he's better than losman. you guys are great!!!1

Thats what i have been telling the Fins fans!

[dasaybz]

Thats what i have been telling the Fins fans!

After watching Losman last year, I think many of us can say that there aren't many QBs in the league that are worse than him.

[mybills]

.

yup..4000 yds and no playoffs here..
then he nose dived in Dallas.

[The Natrix]

Pennington would be better suited as a starter somewhere like Miami or Minnesota. I actually like JP better as the bills backup than I would Pennington.

Although a seemingly nice guy and all that, I think Pennington would more likely create a qb controversy if Trent struggles because he can win more consistently in the long run than JP.

Take a gamble and stick with Edwards as the starter. Losman will be a nice spark off the bench if Trent goes down. If this senario plays out, I think the bills will know where they stand at the end of the season in terms of qb play. Whereas a Pennington - Edwards combo could leave the team and fans scratching their heads again as was the case after the Holcomb - Losman auditions.

Not many...but Trent is one.

Done deal.

Good call!

that means Ginn won't be running deep routes

[yordad]

He'd be an infinitely better, more productive asset during game prep, in practise & on the sidelines than a disgruntled Losman IMO.How would a disgruntled CP be better then a disgruntled JP? A less talented, weak, QB who doesn't know the teammates or the system?

:poop:


Losman is a failure of epic proportions.
