Might take into consideration that it is rumoured that Pat White can throw a nice long pass and Chad Pennington is weak in that area. Maybe this is set to open up more of the field than we think.

I found it interesting. I don't think anyone has found an answer to the durability issues, which is why Miami will probably cap the "Wildcat" that features Pat White at only a certain percentage of the offense. Long term it would mean having Chad Henne and Pat White sharing time, I think.
There are a lot of people though that think that you ruin both QB's feel for the game if you rotate like that.
I apologize if this has been discussed ad nauseam on other threads but I’ve been swamped lately and don’t get that opportunity to scour the net for invaluable Dolphin information as much as I use to but does anyone have any idea where the coaches plan to roster White on game day and who they might designate as our emergency QB?
Further, it's speculated that Miami will have 3 QBs active on gameday, or will have Henne in the Emergency QB role to be activated if Pennington gets hurt, in effect making Henne the 2nd string QB, even though he's inactive.
But if Henne enters the game in the above situation, wouldn't that negate White or Pennington from re-entering the game until the 4th quarter?
One of the problems with the Wildcat O last year was personnel. If you split CP out wide the only thing you have to watch him for is the reverse pass, and you really don't have to worry too much about RB throwing. That all changes with Pat White as he can go for a pass, run a reverse or reverse pass if he splits. If he lines up at QB then he will be a legitimate threat to pass as well as run or hand off. Another words it's 11 on 11 again in stead of 11 on 10, and not so predictable.
