How would y’all feel if penning went to another team and lit it up

We don't have to speculate about this, there's plenty of history to prove they would be blasting the front office and coaching staff for letting him go and not paying him.

When you read these threads you have to understand Fan are terrible at assessing these things. Why, because they're too emotional. Do they get it right sometimes, yes but it's basically playing the odds rather than professional insight. Fact of the matter is most NFL players never live up to the expectation fans have and some don't live up to the expectation coaches have.

IMO Penning problems were 1) he missed just about all of this rookie year and most of the lead up training to his second year. and 2) he was thrust into the starting LT role in year 2 and struggled mightily and his confidence nose dived. YES he should have been more prepared and handled it better but I feel like most of the reasonability falls on the coaching staff (Marone specifically) for not recognizing it sooner and making changes also the O-line as a whole seems to have lacked development recently.

So take that for what it's worth because I'm just a fan that is too emotional.
