For those that don’t follow AFC East football, this past Sunday against the Jaguars the Jets lost their first and second string quarterbacks within a span of seven plays. Seven plays! That’s just not right. First Pennington, then backup Jay Fiedler. Pennington came back in and played injured, almost bringing them back to win but losing in overtime. Not bad for a possible torn rotator cuff on the same shoulder he had surgery on last year.

So now what do the Jets do? They sign Vinny Testaverde as a replacement. The very same Vinny who led that drive to the Super Bowl in ’98. Granted, his play after that season was less than stellar, but at least it’s something. Reports say that Brooks Bollinger will start this Sunday against the Ravens, but I doubt that will last long once Vinny gets back into game shape. He hasn’t played since last season when he was with the Cowboys, and he was hoping for a chance somewhere, especially back with the Jets. He was actually pretty funny at his press conference for his signing (from the Jets website):

“For those of you who don’t know, my name’s Vinny Testaverde,” said the Elmont, New York native to a large press gathering. “Seriously it’s good to be back playing with the Jets again. After I left here last year, I always thought it would be a one day contract and I’d retire a New York Jet. But it’s really good to be back. I’m happy; I’m excited; I’m nervous; I’m anxious. All those feelings are coming back.”

Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t think Vinny is going to be the savior of this football team. In fact…I’m almost writing off the season. But if anyone can come in and pull a magical run off in the Green and White, it would be him. He’s from the area, so he has much to prove.

Man, does he ever.
