Very little measurable differences between the #2's

We have an excellent QB stable. let the understudies develop & compete
Today's darling can quickly become tomorrows ugly girl friend in the NFL & especially with Dolphin fans.

Henne has done nothing to warrant adoration nor ordination.
He is an unproven, inexperienced commodity with potential. The difference between the #2's is that Henne got the nod from the coach & begins his assault on the starting position ahead of Beck.

A fast start doesn't guarantee a race; it's the finish that counts. We have a field of three horses in this competition. A lot can happen from the opening of the gates to crossing the finish line. There are no sure bets, only competition.


Henne may be our next Dan Marino. He may also not be able to win the start from a resurgent & proven veteran & one of the top QB's in the NFL. I assure you: Chad Pennington will not go quietly into the night.
It should be noted, what Pennington does on the field this year will determine the QB situation in Miami. Nothing Henne could come up with in preseason will make that determination.

At the other end of the spectrum, there is the much maligned John Beck. I see little difference between the two, however, I recognize that Beck is the dark horse in the stable. Today, he is the third string QB.

Coach Sprano's only comment concerning Beck was that his job & only concern @ this point is to compete with Henne.
How an entire board passed over these words, I don't know.
But I do know what they mean. The TriFecta's expectation of Beck (today) is to compete with Henne.

I'm as anxious as the next true Dolfan to see the Franchise QB emerge from the stable, who ever he might be.

However, there is a glaring difference in how I view the situation & others obvious view it within our forum. Unlike most of my fellow posters, I see a process unfolding. No race has been won. I allow for the possibility of growth & development, injuries & disappointment. I look to competition & the actual playing of the game to determine ultimately which of the three will become the next Franchise QB without bias or prejudgement.
And I understand things change, especially in the second year of a four year rebuilding project.
Patience & Cordiality :thanks:
 
First of all we have a number 2 qb Henne and a number 3 qb Beck. Second of all there i no race involving three horses. For now Pennington is the starter and Henne is the backup while Beck is the 3rd stringer.

Nobody missed anything of course its Beck's job to try to move ahead of Henne, just like its Henne's job t move ahead of Pennington. The die has been cast and unless some major regression happens or a player shows he cannot do the job nobody is moving up the qb depth chart. Beck will probably be trying to hold off an undrafted free agent for his job this year and thats just the way of life in the nfl.
 
Henne is the QB for 2010, and it is already noted that he may even Start a couple games mid season..

Idk why so many of you think pennington is going to continue being the QB. This year is his Last year and the FO is not going to spend the cash to sign him for more years..


You see no difference between henne and beck? oh common!!!!
 
Well its not a 3 horse race, there were 4 horse but unfortunately the 4th is dead and ya'll beating on it....
 
read the thread & think before you mindlessly reply

Competition is the Elixir Of Success!

of course there is an on-going three-way race

that's the whole point of the thread:crazy:no one has crossed the finish line

I'm kind of confused by this? The day we signed Pennington he crossed the "finish line". By the third day of training camp last year it was solidified Henne was our #2 if something were to happen to Pennington. And as far as Beck being our #3, that's just b/c he's the 3rd QB. It wouldn't suprise me one bit if Beck still never stepped on the field if both Pennington and Henne went down to injury. We'd see a vet with knowledge of the offense signed before throwing in the white towel aka Beck.

You say this more than John McCain says the words "my friends." If you want to believe if it's a three man race for the starting job in Miami, then I've got a bridge in Brooklyn that I can get for you at a great price. Here is how it is. Pennington is the starter for 2009. Chad Henne is the clear cut number two quarterback, that will eventually take hold of the starting reigns when the coaches deem him ready. Beck is at the bottom trying to survive, and will probably do battle with another rookie QB, if he hasn't been traded.

how much for that bridge:hi5:
 
I get the fact that most people on this board think Henne is a better prospect at QB than Beck,I do too...what I don't get is why people hate Beck so much......if people don't think he's a good QB is ok but why hate the guy?I mean,what has he ever done to the people on board? I was on another site today and there were people there saying that Beck was a loser.....how ignorant is that? Not a good QB? Fine. But a loser? All he did was go to college and start there and did pretty darn good too....went on a mision for 2 years to help out people and then now is in the NFL.....how is that being a loser?
I understand that he's not the best guy for the starting job but he's a good guy who's worked as hard as he's being asked to do....some people on this board want him to do bad just so they can say they were right....he's a Dolphin player and as such I'm rooting for the guy to do well if he ever steps out on the field for us even tho I do feel that Henne is/will be a better option at QB for us.I'll root for ALL of our players!

Ozzy rules!!

You went through all that to say nothing.

Pennington is the starter. Only injury will keep him from starting. He has already won that race. #2 may be up for grabs but, everyone including TS wants and expects Henne to win that spot. Beck will probably be traded even though I think he may have good skills.

Hopefully Henne will be the franchise QB but who knows. All we know is he will be sitting this season barring an unforeseen unjury. TS has said that already.
 
I know what the order is Pennington, Henne then Beck.

Until we have a designated Franchise QB, not just a starter with a 2 & 3 competing for an opportunity to prove their metal, we have a very real on-going competition that can only be resolved on the playing field.

I view the QB situation differently then many other people I am posting with on our forum. I see a process unfolding. No race has been won. I allow for the possibility of growth & development, injuries & disappointment. Even another QB (drafted, walk-on, free agent, whatever) could be the answer to the Franchise question. I leave all posibilities open & comply with all decisions made by the FrontOffice.

The process will run it's course. In the end, competition & the actual playing of the game will determine who will become the next Franchise QB without bias or prejudgement.

I am not a devotee to any player. I am a Miami Dolphin Fan.
no man is a team:thanks:

You are saying nothing that isn't a given. We all know Henne could play like garbage and possibly not be our franchise QB. We all know Penne and Henne could get hurt and someone else step in to be the future QB. You are saying nothing special and nothing that is not already known.

Who has said they are a devotee to any one player? We are all Dolphins fans. You see things the same way any intelligent footbal fan sees things. We all just hope that Henne is the answer because he is currently on the team. But, we all also know he may not be the answer. It could be Beck or it could be that college QB that no one has ever heard about yet.

And you may comply with the FO but, that is because you have no other choice but to comply.
 
Friend 50FootFall:
1) wouldn't have wasted time with the thread if I thought the majority viewed things in the same light. After reading so much garbage on the board about Beck & Pennington & the never ending litany of how great Henne is I came to the conclusion the forum needed a reality check.
2)I challenge no one's loyalty to the Franchise. I simply think many of our brethren in aqua & orange are mucking up the board with the old bash & trash & a major dose of fantasy.
3)glad to see that we are in basic agreement & hope the thread can bring about some reasonable discourse on an otherwise rancid subject.
4) I comply because of the faith I have in Bill Parcells to make consistently good decisions concerning football.


got a feeling we're going after Pat White in the draft.
that could ultimately, create an interesting twist to the stable in relation to the 3rd string QB

or not :D
