Pennington to attempt comeback

[Dave Gray]

As for a sample size of one, you are aguing that because he won 11 games one year he deserves to be on the roster.  That's not a good argument as far as i'm concerned.

I actually wasn't arguing that.  I was just pointing that that's also a sample size of 1.  I don't expect him to come in and win 11 games, but I don't expect him to get injured on the first drive, either.  Either or neither can happen.

[Phishfan]

Your 3rd QB likely isn't going to play anyway, so it's really not ALL that risky.

There is a hole in this theory. When you have an injury prone player as one of the two ahead of him, you should count on the third QB playing at some point because he will likely be the number two at some point.

[MikeO]

If Pennington gets hurt, he gets hurt.

No "IF" anymore....its when!

He is too much of a liability and ties up a valuable roster spot at a very thin position. Can't bring him back as a player

I was thinking of Pennington as that 3rd QB.

But I see your point.

Pennington at his age isn't coming back to the NFL to be a 3rd QB. He is gonna want to play. He isn't coming back to ride the bench

I wouldn't say that. He did just that last year. I think he likes being involved and getting paid. I don't think there is any question he could probably coach but as a player he would make way more money.

[Dave Gray]

Let's assume that our choices are this:

Henne
Pennington
New Blood

vs.

Henne
Free Agent
New Blood

vs

Free Agent
Pennington
New Blood



I don't think that the choices that involve Pennington are any worse than the others.

[Jim Gray]

What about

Free Agent
Henne
New Blood

Specifically

V. Young
C. Henne
new blood

[StL FinFan]

What is going to make Vince Young change his attitude?  Vick had a life changing experience.  Maybe Young needs a different coach or maybe he is a princess.  I don't want to take the chance on the latter.

[Jim Gray]

I don't know that his attitude will change, but I see Young as the best option with the most upside.  I know he's not ideal, but at some point you have to pick from what's available. 

Really, it doesn't have to be Young, I was just pointing out that there is another option.

[Dave Gray]

I have no idea if Young can be a good QB or not, but I'm kind of concerned that I don't think he's saying the right things. I think he didn't work hard in Tennessee.  I don't think that he's come to terms with that yet.

[MikeO]

I have no clue as to what Young's attitude will be. But I would rather roll the dice on him at his age, changing his attitude over Pennington's arm. I know Chad's arm after all of these surgery's now won't be anything close to an NFL level arm. Too many operations on it.

If the choice is between Young and Pennington I would agree wtih you.  Too bad you can't put Pennington's head on Young's body.

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

Isn't he a FA this year? 

I don't see him being a starter anywhere.  But I would not be surprised if he was at least a camp arm somewhere next year.

[BigDaddyFin]

Let Pennington do the coach on the sidelines thing.  He'll help Daboll and whoever the hell our quarterback ends up being.  They can even start him if they want I don't give a shit anymore.
