Manning..MVP?

[dalakhani]

The Jets had to cut pennington to create cap space for Favre. Even if they had the cap space, teams usually dont keep 6 million dollar back up.

The only favor that was done by the jets was the speed of the release. They could have waited until the end of camp to cut him and that would have hurt him.

I agree. The jets did what they were supposed to do and what most ANY other team would do given the circumstances. Saying they SHOULD have kept pennington now is revisionist because all i heard about before the season started was all the jerseys being sold.

It could have (and should have) been happily ever after for both. I just hope Favre doesnt play his usual game. The jets are built to contend NOW and a decent QB could easily put them in the playoffs next year.

I wouldn't want Thomas Jones speaking for my team. He's an idiot and plays the most expendable position on the field.

Manning has to be the MVP.
What other QB could have taken that team as far?

He really does not have the same weapons he used to.
Marvin Harrison is a shell of himself. Gonzales is a pure
possession reciever. The fact that Dallas Clark got so many
break down receptions plays says a lot. Addai and Rhodes...
those are not great running backs when hurt. The both barely got
500 yards. The Colts are no
longer explosive and Manning did a great job with that team.
Reggie Wayne is about it.

Imagine Manning with Bolden and Fitzgerald. Kurt Warner did
a very good job at just lobbing the ball up and letting them
make plays.

That can be said about any QB in the league pretty much.

and did you just say that Wayne is about it for Manning? Do you watch football?

I'd take those guys any day of the week.

So would I. So would Mcnabb. So would a majority of the teams in the playoffs.

Sorry my man.
That team is nowhere near as good.

Who besides Wayne does he have as a deep threat?
Do you watch football? That was a first down at a time team.
And thats what Clark was used for.

So what QB other than Manning could have done a better job
with the Colt offense? Manning squeezed blood out of a rock.

I never knew teams need more than one deep threat. I'm not saying they are as good as year's past, primarily due to Harrison's numbers decline, but they are still head and shoulders above most teams in that dept.

and yes I WATCH football. Very heedfully mind you.

They didn't sign Favre, they gave up a third round pick for him. So in essence, they gave up Pennington, a 3rd round pick, and took a cap hit of $6 million for releasing Pennington in exchange for Favre knowing it would be for 1 to 2 years max. Not the best deal. They should have shipped Pennington to Minnesota for a conditional 7th rounder instead of just dumping him. Considering Minnesota was the #5 rushing team this year, the #6 defense, and third worst in the league in percentage of passes intercepted they might have been incredibly good this year with Pennington.
