The KC "67" is his shabby showing against the Bills in 2007. To recap, KC started against Baltimore, in Baltimore, and had a flawed, but encouraging debut. His next stint at QB, however, was against the Bills when KC replaced an ineffective Chad. KC went 5-12 for 67 yards and 2 INTs. It was not a good performance, but what was worse was that he did not seem ready, which was strange given that he must have known that Chad was hurting. Here's Jeremy Green of Scouts Inc.'s take (from ESPN.com): Those who kept this game on long enough saw New York turn the page on Chad Pennington and go to second-year signal-caller Kellen Clemens. The question is this: Who will be the QB next week? Pennington was generally ineffective, but more disturbing was that Clemens did not appear ready to play. Clemens had to have known there was a chance he could play, yet he was not sharp. He finished the game 5-for-12 for 67 yards and two interceptions. Yes, Clemens gives the Jets the big-time arm and more big-play potential, but what he doesn't give them right now is great leadership and good decision-making. That was evident in his struggles in the last four minutes of this game. This was not a great situation for Clemens to be thrown into, but you definitely would like to see him handle it a little better. Coach Eric Mangini once again has to decide who will be his starting QB, and Clemens had better hope that decision does not rest on his play at the end of this game. ******* Now, to KC's credit, he then played what I thought was his best game the following week against the Redskins (an OT loss, which was not really his fault). But, KC's "deer in the headlights" play was a frequent problem, something that was on full display in the Buffalo game.
