The End of An Era

Former New York Jets QB Chad Pennington has announced his retirement after 11 seasons in the National Football League. Pennington spent eight years with the Jets, where he compiled a 69-61 record with a 66.0 completion percentage, finishing with a 1632/2471 TD/INT ratio, and 17,823 yards. He played very well for the Jets before signing with the Dolphins in 2008. He also made one 29-yard punt in 2006 for the Jets. Pennington had a great career and if it weren't for the numerous injuries, would have been (in my opinion) a Hall of Famer, however, the injuries detered and derailed his career. A significant shoulder injury in the first game of the 2010 season ended his season and eventually his career. He worked for Fox's NFL Sunday pregame show in 2011 and planned to return in 2012. I wish him well in retirement and look forward to hearing and seeing him on Fox next season and beyond.
