Correction- He has a better arm than Pennington. He still doesn't have the leadership or experience. I say we bring the house and fluster him early. We've had plenty of success with blitz packages in the past with GW, why not give it a whirl this weekend? The Jets flat out stink. They have an awful defense and a worse offense. They just got swept by the Bills and couldn't score a TD at home against a bottom 5 defense. We gotta get right in a big way this weekend. Aside from Miami week 1, there is NO QUESTION this is the softest team on our schedule. I wanna grudge f... this team.

That's true to an extent. While Pennington is better with leadership and experience, it won't be hard for Clemens to surpass him in both catagories. Clemens is much more talented, and we have seen the end of the Pennington area.
Changing QB's seems to have a positive effect on teams...like a shot in the arm, just what we don't need with all our injuries.

No he's not. Pennington isn't losing games for the Jets, their whole team is. They picked up a VERY good RB in Thomas Jones and can't even use him more than 15 times a game because they're always playing from behind.

The fans just wanted a change of pace and at 1-7, what could it hurt?

It's like when we (you people) were crying for Patrick Ramsey when we weren't winning with Brunell, Ramsey was clearly not better but losing makes fans want change.

Then suddenly Brunell helped us win 6 straight and make the playoffs.

Pennnington's a pretty good QB, smart, strong arm...just in a horrible situation.

Clemens is everything that Pennington is not. However, he does not have Pennington's leadership or heart...at 1-7, the Jets are preparing for life after Pennington.

Smart yes, strong arm, not so much. He's had so many arm troubles in his career...
