Is Pennington Really That Bad?

[IggyWH]

I was watching the Jets vs Steelers game today (12-1 now BABY!) and I was very disappointed in Chad Pennington. I never really watched him play but I respected him because when he was healthy, he seemed to get the job done.

I heard the knock on him that he doesn't have arm strength but I didn't really believe it. I just thought people thought that way because they run a lot of quick, short passing routes.

Watching the game today though, what I saw was a HORRIBLE arm. It seemed like every pass he made was a floater with nothing behind it. The first pick he through it had no business being picked off. He threw it to the sideline and it was such a puss pass that Troy had a chance to catch up to it and pick it off. Even on the deep ball he threw and got the catch on, it had air under it but it was a floater.

Was this just a bad game for him today or is this his usual play?
