Now that the Jets are 1-4, what would you like to see Eric Mangini do at quarterback? 
Do you want to have him sit Chad Pennington and start second-year man Kellen Clemens? Keep Pennington in permanently? On a short leash?
We broached the subject in our Monday column for the newspaper, but we'd like your thoughts on the matter, too.
We'll be back at you later this morning with our weekly NFL Monday Morning Memo, so we'll see you in a bit. In the meantime, fire away on the quarterback situation. Or vent about a season rapidly going down the tubes. Whatever. We're here to help.

Bob, At this point I'm not sure how anyone, short of opposing Defensive coordinators, could argue for Chad.
Personally, I'm hoping the Jets running game takes off until Nov 18th. I'd love to see Brett Keisel dropping into pass coverage, taking away the 'dink and dunk', and forcing Chad to throw up the middle into Troy Polamalu/Ryan Clarke coverage.
I know in-season trades are rare, but would the Bears be interested in Chad? It seemes like a win-win. Jets give Kellon a chance to start without Chad over his shoulder while getting value for Chad. Bears get a QB who has gone to the playoffs.
What makes it so hard is Chad's personality, class and courage as well as brains and leadership. Besides, putting the blame solely on Chad is unfair since coaching and game plans have been mediocre.
The team does need a spark, however and what do the Jets have to lose now? I would give Clemens a chance and this could open up a window for Jones as well. I would work on a face-saving arrangement with Chad, though, since the move might be temporary, who knows.
CLEMENS ALL THE WAY. Pennington just cant finish drives. The Jets are losing anyway you might as well give Clemens a try. He really shows a lot of potential (like against the ravens
I agree Pennington just isnt working. I love the Jets but Im sick of them losing. The bottom line is Pennington cant do it. his arm is week. Clemens did show a lot of potential in the preseason and against the ravens. The jets are like 1-10 so you might as well try clemens the worst you can do is lose and you'll definately lose if you use pennington. So go CLEMENS!!!! Mangini needs to give up on Pennington
Yeah go Clemens he rocks!!! we're watching them against the eagles and its pitiful pennington sucks did you see his intereception? hes done just put clemens in
anyone know how to contact mangini or something cause i wanna complain about pennington. Clemens should be the starter. at first i was like ok its only 4 games they lost but now they are 1-10 so im done with pennington
they arnt 1-10 but i get the point ik you're exaggerating. and i do agree that clemens is better
they just lost again replace pennington. IK they arnt 1-10 but i was exaggerating but if you count preseason they basiccalyy are 1-10. IK they are actually 1-5 but the point is replace pennington(which is what i said before)
im like the number 1 jets fan and im sick of seeing the Jets lose. Start Clemens
you may be wondering why so many people all of a sudden are posting its because i started telling ppl about your site. lol Most of the ppl i know (ik) support clemens so yeah ok bye
Ok, I change my mind; start Clemens. This last game against the Eagles was just pitiful.
I realize the last game against the bengals was not entirely penningotns fault but he still isnt good.
A.He was playing the worst defense in the league
B)That interception was the reason they didnt win
C) He did what quarterbacks are supposed to do but not better but sense he usually does so bad everyon thought he was doing good.
SO AS A NEW REINVENTED TEAM THE JETS NEED TO START KELLEN CLEMENS NOT CHAD PENNINGTON
