And this is why he sucks. This was the tweet they had up:

HerdOnESPNRadio Colin Cowherd

Chad Pennington is a smart guy! His thoughts on the young gun QB's in the NFL...NEXT in the HERD: es.pn/kAlujf

I tuned in on ESPNU, and this MF NEVER addressed the "young guns" to Pennington. Or at least he came up with his own version. This was the conversation:

You're working the Cards/Panthers game this week, what do you think about the young QB you'll be watching (I'm thinking, YES! Pennington is gonna breakdown Cam) Kevin Kolb?

(Pennington on Kolb, which I expect will then lead to the OTHER QB playing in this game. NOPE.)

What about Mark Sanchez?

(Chad on Sanchez, NY, etc.)

People in Dallas say Romo has matured...

(Chad on Romo)

What do you think about rookie QBs who might be starting by week 8, could it get ugly?

(Chad on this stupid question)

...

That was it... What a waste. This is why I hate Cowturd outside of Sportsnation, and even then he gets on my nerves. He's a kiss ass. All he does is talk big markets, and I don't know how many times I've heard him take shots at Charlotte. He glorifies big markets and trashes everyone else. And in some cases, as with this interview, just completely ignores them even if they are the bigger story.

What a disappointment.

Well,at least we know Pennington is doing our game this week, which I like. Always seemed like a smart guy, good player, someone whose opinion I will respect and will enjoy hearing what he does during the game.

Mods can close this, it was horrible.

he was my first choice for clipboard carrying backup. he was never spectacular as a player and he was made of glass, but his knowledge of the game has always been great. he would have been a great tutor for a young QB. for sure would have helped on the sidelines and in the classroom as that experienced set of eyes.

While I don't get into the "waa they didn't talk about us" stuff, it is debatable between who/what is the bigger story this weekend.

Kolb and his massive contract for not doing much in his career

Or

Cam and his considerably scaled back contract making his debut.

I'd say the bigger story is Kolb, coupled with Fitz and his record deal.

Am I off base?

Very possible, because we still don't have enough of a sample to justify Kolb's deal/contract.

I usually don't get into the "they didn't talk about us" stuff either, but Cowherd just irks me because he does it to ALL non-big market teams, not just us. He just seems to talk himself up a lot and then ties stuff into big markets/cities to endear himself to them.

And in this case, while Kolb is a big story, Cam is the only rookie Qb starting this week to my knowledge (correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't been keeping up with all of the others but I'm pretty sure they have someone in front of them for this week at least), and it just so happens Pennington is working the game with Kolb AND Cam. So, the bigger story? Debatable. Mention worthy, yes.

That was my problem, I wanted to hear him break it down from both sides.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
