BillsNYC Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Via Twitter: http://www.buffalosportsdaily.com/2010/02/...-be-considered/ Personally, I don't think he had the arm strength for Buffalo in his prime, let alone now. Not questioning his leadership or football intelligence, he's a great football player, just a better fit for a dome or warm weather team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickelCity Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 While I certainly think he would be an upgrade, I'd prefer bringing in a different QB from the dolphins. I would not be completely opposed to bringing Chad to Buffalo for a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RI Bills Fan Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Just say NO!!!! to Pennington! He didn't have the arm strength to play in Buffalo before the injuries and surgaries. Now? Forgetaboutit! He'd know where to go with the ball but wouldn't be able to get it there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Via Twitter: http://www.buffalosportsdaily.com/2010/02/...-be-considered/ Personally, I don't think he had the arm strength for Buffalo in his prime, let alone now. Not questioning his leadership or football intelligence, he's a great football player, just a better fit for a dome or warm weather team. If Buffalo was his only option to remain in the league he would retire. He recently stated that he might consider going back to the Jets as a backup if he wasn't retained by the Phins. I strongly suspect that he is going to retire before the season starts. Chad Pennington is a class act who has had a long career because of his smarts and not because of his arm.

1billsfan Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 You couldn't get a more uninspiring choice than Chad Pennington. Furthermore, if the source is right and they are considering him then this is officially first time I have to seriously question the intelligence of the new Bills' brain trust. The Bills starting QB must have a decent to strong arm, period. While Pennington has good accuracy his arm is so weak that the 13 year old kid Kiffin is trying to recruit can out throw him. If they don't get Bradford, Claussen or Vick the Bills should concentrate on building the foundation. They should then draft Jarrett Brown in the 5th round of the upcoming draft and let Fitzy and Brohm compete for the job. I don't see why this isn't a viable option. If neither of them pan out then the Bills will have had Brown (who throws a great ball) in their system for a year and still can go after their QB of the future in the first round of the 2011 draft if Brown is still a big project. This should be their board on draft day... 1st rd QB Bradford or Claussen if neither are there go OT 2nd rd DL 3rd rd LB 4th rd LB 5th rd Brown if OT in 1st I don't see why Fitzy and Brohm is such a bad deal for Bills fans. We all know that we either need a star QB or go with building the lines and new defensive system. I'm just as excited about who we can get with the non-QB first to fourth round picks. They will be the building blocks of a hopefully very bright Bills' future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Tuesday Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Nix and Gailey want someone with a strong arm and mobility. Pennington is the OPPOSITE of that person. I wouldn't worry too much, this won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickelCity Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I just don't think that Bradford, Clausen, or Vick would work in Buffalo. I think we NEED to go OT then NT in rounds 1 & 2, and then get someone like the much discussed LeFevour in the third (for the record I am not in favor of drafting Pike). This draft should be all about the lines, and maybe a QB in the third and an ILB later on. Bring in someone like (in no particular order): Collins, Thigpen, Garcia, Pennington (although I doubt we actually do go after him), or dare I say McNabb?? etc. Have Brohm/Rookie QB learn from the veteran. Does bringing in one of the aforementioned veteran qb's mean I think that they will be probowlers? Of course not (well, perhaps McNabb could be). However I do think any of them would be a huge improvement over what we currently have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be the building blocks of a hopefully very bright Bills' future. I'll go one better than you and say that the Bills should draft Garrett Brown in the fourth round. His tools are as good as any qb in the draft. What he lacks is experience. He patiently waited behind Pat White at WVU for three years before his opportunity to start his senior year. A lot of players in his situation would have transferred. He didn't. Not only does he have physical skills he has high character skills which add to his appeal. Brown has a strong and accurate arm, he is mobile and he can throw on the run. He would be an intriquing developmental prospect with a lot of upside.

1billsfan Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Fitzpatrick? Are you serious. Did you watch him last year? Fitzy threw three touchdowns in a blizzard in his last game this past season. Is he the future of the Bills? Probably not, but that doesn't mean he can't be a one year option with him competing for starting duties with Brohm. If the Bills fail to land Bradford or Claussen then they should concentrate on OL, DL and LB positions. It's either one direction or the other. I'm fine with the Fitzy/Brohm duo if it means they have built the foundation for the probable 2011 first round QB if they don't get one of the aforementioned first round QBs this year.

He was Never known for his arm strenth even before the injuries. He has one of the best comp ratios in the hostory of the nfl and oh yeah he wins games.

Could work or might have to work. Not much out there.I think T. Jackson was showing promise before Farve. He has a big arm without the problems.

JohnC Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 That right there may be the kiss of death for him with what Nix has said. Not necessarily with a low round pick. You are correct that he wouldn't use his first or high round pick on a one year stud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgetaboutit! He'd know where to go with the ball but wouldn't be able to get it there... Unless we're going to Wildcat he has no role here. He's old, oft-injured, weak armed and has proven he can't remain a starter where ever he's been. He's not the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not the future. the future in the nfl is the next season. you keep builing through the draft and then put the best pieces together you can and win as many games as you can. Pennington would prob offer us the best chance to win games next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
