been a very smart quarterback. Even with a weak arm, he still has been able to get the job done. However, this season he has been throwing picks in key situations, and has just struggled in leading the offense. The Jets have some solid receivers in Coles and Cotchery who will never be confused for headaches like Terrell Owens, but they are definitely good enough to help lead the team. It is now time to look to the future. The Jets have Kellen Clemens waiting in the wings, and it is time to see if he is really the future of the franchise. Clemens is now in his second season and in his first start against the Ravens, definitely showed some potential. With a lost season already, Mangini would be very smart not to waste a second season in the event that Clemens is not the quarterback they thought he was. It has nothing to do with Pennington as a person but if the Jets are going to rebound from this season, unfortunately Pennington will not be the guy to lead them.

Time for the Future
With the New York Jets at 1-6 for the season, it is time for coach Eric Mangini to test the future. The normally reliable Chad Pennington has struggled mightily during the course of the season. The AFC is by far the better conference, and there is a good chance the Jets would need to go undefeated the rest of the way just to secure a playoff berth. With a schedule that still includes games at Dallas and New England as well as a home game against Pittsburgh. Over the course of Penningtons career he has
