matty.what would you base your statement that edwards is a quality coach on?i think he is on par with brian billick of the the ravens.i think both are very OVER RATED as coaches.the jets have stuck with pennington way too long,just like boller in baltimore.neither one of these guys are nfl qbacks.the jets have underachieved even with the free pass this year because of all the injuries

Well for starters his career record is 37-32, prior to this injury filled disaster it was 33-20. And he guided the Jets to the playoffs in 3 of his 5 years.

I'm not sure how you can blame him for Pennington, prior to his injury he was one of the better QBs in the league. I think the only thing they did wrong with him was rush him back too soon.

Ahhh, I think that is sufficient evidence...playoffs 3 out of 5 years.

Pennington, when healthy, is better than the majority of the starters in the league. Edwards is a winning coach who sticks up for, and bonds with his players. Please explain how the Jets have underachieved, when they've made the playoffs three out of the last five years.

The key there is when healthy and he has shown a remarkable ability to not be able to do so. And he is probably now simply damaged goods. He'll never be a quality starter in the league again I would bet.

I agree that his injuries are probably going to keep him from ever being a viable starter, but comparing him to Kyle Boller is ridiculous.

Yeah comparing most QBs in the league to Boller is pretty odd. Except maybe Harrington. I am pretty sure they are the same guy. I didn't compare them though that was someone else.

Umm, didn't Billick win a Superbowl? Can fathom how a coach that won a Superbowl can be considered overrated, especially with the atrocious offense they had during their run.

he didn't win it. Marvin Lewis's defense led by Ray Lewis won that superbowl. it sure as heck wasn't the fake "offensive genius" Brian Billick.
and this definitely hurts the Jets and has the Chiefs in line to be a top 4 team next year with his influence being immediate on the defense. this could also be good for the Jets if they go with a coach like the under appreciated Mike Sherman or an offensive minded coach like Mike Martz.
