As someone who barely watched him play and only in his one or two final years, how much his career was wasted/how good would Chad Pennington probably be if not for the constant injuries?

He had a definite ceiling in terms of arm strength, but he could absolutely have Johnson/Gannon'd a team to a super bowl

I always say that if Pennington had league average arm strength, he could have been a top 8-10 QB in the league. I still really want him to be a QB coach.

Worst NFL game I attended was Colts@Ravens in 2007. Colts won running away from the very first series and there was a very cold, soaking rain. My dad and I left in the first quarter. Somewhere in that stadium im sure some poor kid was at their first Ravens game.

Pennington's arm was perfectly fine but for the insane/terrible avalanche of injuries he had pretty much from the jump and rushing back from two rotator cuff tears.

Like, I know there have to be some worse than this, but the corpse of Kerry Collins vs Curtis Painter for the 2011 Colts was really bad, and then Dan Orlovsky ended up being mildly competent! I’m sure the 2006 Raiders with the mortal remains of Aaron Brooks and Andrew Walter (Whose picture on Wikipedia amuses me) was just as thrilling...

The thing I remember most about him is him asking Ronnie Brown to pop his shoulder back in in the huddle. It's so surreal I thought I had just imagined it, but it's a thing that happened.

Worst NFL game I've ever watched live was probably Jets-Cardinals in 2012, where the Jets won 7-6 despite 4 Mark Sanchez INTs in the first half after Greg McElroy came in and threw the game winning TD.

The worst NFL game I've ever attended was a few weeks after that. Jets lost to the Chargers 27-17 with McElroy making his first NFL start. He got sacked **11 loving times**, though all things considered the game was closer than I remember. The stadium was depressing too - I went with my Dad and I'm pretty sure our entire row was empty.

Chad Pennington's arm strength was fine before his shoulder disintegrated. The memory of noodle-armed Dolphins Pennington is so strong we kinda forget that in college/first 3-4 years with the Jets he was drat good.

I’ve watched the second one now at least 20 times and I have no loving clue what is going on or how he’s doing that. :psyduck:

It's clearly practiced, almost like a dance or gymnastics routine, and he uses the tips of his toes just like a gymnast would to balance on as he springs up and turns around. Still it's cool as hell and he's super good at it which makes it seem physically impossible

The worst NFL game I watched live was TNF 49ers-Cardinals in 2016.

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/201610060sfo.htm

Blaine Gabbert vs Drew Stanton, and two teams doing their damnedest to establish the run so everyone could go home. The game felt like it took 25 hours. It was just 4 yard run, 4 yard run, 4 yard run, 4 yard run, over and over and over and over. It was hypnotic.

Probably one of the Saints games in Tiger Stadium in 2005. The games were miserable, the team was lousy, we weren’t sure if we were going to have a team next year, recovering from two hurricanes back to back...

They all just kind of sucked. At least the Miami game had half of us booing and half of us cheering new Dolphins coach Nick Saban.

Text book how to tackle while taking a cut off angle. Squares his shoulders perfectly while his legs are 90 degrees open to the sideline then uses his agility to drive off the change of direction making it as good as if he was facing down field.

This is more time or energy that anyone has ever spent on Zay Jones in his entire NFL career.

After watching about as many times, this is my best guess for the biomechanics involved:

He shoves the ground, giving him the initial momentum

Bracing his core and flexing his back pulls his body upwards, with the boost from that shove

Weight crosses his knees, force transfers to his knee and he pushes off with his knees, transferring his weight to his toetips

While holding his body's flexing towards the back, he uses the second (knee) shove to stand up

I was at the Bills-Browns 6-3 game where the winning QB, one Derek Matthew Anderson, completed two (2) passes on seventeen (17) attempts for twenty-three (23) yards, zero (0) touchdowns, and one (1) interception. It is probably high in the running for worst game of professional American Football ever played, and I think that if the NFL was disbanded right after that game, the people who watched that travesty happen live would have been totally okay with it

Worst game: October 2016, Patriots @ 49ers. game was fine, Patriots won, but it rained and was generally miserable.

Best game: February 2017, Patriots/Falcons. one of the best experiences of my life.

My favorite game was the one where the QB was 3 for 10 for 33 yards while being sacked 4 times for -23 yards and a lost fumble, they were outgained 422 yards to 47, and won 24-6. On the road.

For years, this has been my go-to for worst game I've ever watched and yet every single time I'm reminded of it, I'm somehow stunned anew that Derek Anderson won a game by going 2 of 17.

I was in a suicide pick'em that year and picked the Jets to win that game. I was so confident after that, because I had the Mike Smith juggernaut Falcons left to pick and I picked them the next week and they choked at home against one of those 8-8 Saints teams.
So yeah, I watched Greg McElroy play quarterback on national television, and he was better than Peterman.
