1. Mangini / Tannenbaum inheirited Chad Pennington and drafted Kellen Clemens last year who Ron Jaworski said was the best QB in the draft.
2. From the Clemens draft class, Vince Young, Matt Leinart, Jay Cutler and Tarvaris Jackson all are starters.
3. From last year's draft class, Trent Edwards is starting and it's a matter of time before JaMarcus Russell, Brady Quinn, and John Beck are starting.
4. Chad Pennington is 1-4 while Kellen Clemens is 0-1; however, the Clemens loss against Baltimore showed the kind of arm he has to open up the offense.
5. Pennington has thrown 6 interceptions in the last 9 quarters.
6. Remember back in 2004, Tom Coughlin changed from Kurt Warner to Eli Manning and the team was 5-4. Manning lost his first 6 starts destroying the Giants season. The Jets season is already destroyed which is another reason to make the change.
7. The Jets' play-action no longer works because defenses do not fear Chad throwing the ball downfield.
8. (Taken from Winston Biggs on Ganggreen.com): Take a look at a football field. If you have 11 guys defending 6 to 15 yards down the field you have a fairly small space to cover. At 15 yards the WR are in a space of 7,200 square feet, at 30 yards the space is 14,400 square feet. The reason WR look so much more wide open when you have a down field passing game is the amount of space that's available goes up by 160 feet for every additional foot a QB can stretch the field. That's if everything else is equal which of course it isn't. Chad is restricted in going to the sidelines as well because of his arm which pulls the amount of space down that the WR and defense are working in.
