While the MacArthur-esque tone of that message can be inspiring, there’s one problem: Pennington’s watch over the Dolphins figures to be done after this season.
At least that’s the plan to anyone who understands the situation, including the 33-year-old Pennington, who is entering the final year of his contract with no talks about an extension under way. The Dolphins’ plan to have Pennington lead the transition to second-year quarterback Chad Henne(notes) is about as secret as Kim Kardashian’s love life.
But for anyone who thinks Pennington is treating this season with the passion of a temp job, the reality is far different.
“It’s all about the now,” Pennington said, his hands waving and his voice rising to emphasize the point. “What happens next year has nothing to do with now and I would hate for any of us to waste the season to wait until next year. Why not focus on this year and try to have the best year we can have and when next year comes, we’ll see what happens. I think we’re doing ourselves a disservice and we’re being disrespectful to the game when we look into the future. This game is about the now, preparing for the now, playing for the now.

man oh man Pennington is a real class act and we were truly blessed to get that guy to the Dolphins. .

That said I played madden 05 today and intercepted him 6 times and sacked him 6 times to win 77-14. . good times.
 
Pennington should understand that better than anyone....

It's not Pennington's job to worry about the future.....that's Bill Parcells, Jeff Ireland, and Tony Sparano's job....

It's Pennington's job to play the best he can while he has the opportunity....same as the other 52 players...
 
This team has the potential to have a very good season. If Penny has another year where he stays healthy and has the 2nd highest QB rating in the NFL and comes in 2nd in MVP voting i think you will see him signed to a new 3 year deal.

The reality is, nobody knows what is going to happen and for that matter, nobody from the FO has ever confirmed the things you so flippantly declare to be fact.

Penny may very well be the Dolphin QB for another 4 years. As long as this team wins I could care less how far our QB can throw a football.
 
Gotta love his leadership and attitude.

Thank you Favre for sending him our way and screwing the jests (now get lost).
 
I don't want to have another conversation about our future QBs. We should just be enjoying this because who knows when the next time we'll have a QB this good will come around. We haven't had a leader like this at the helm since #13.
 
I've been saying this forever. The future is NOW! There is no 5 year plan in the NFL anymore. In this league, turnarounds (good and bad) are sudden and unexpected. The window can close as fast as it can open. Next year we could be faced with no Ronnie, no CP, no JT, no JP....and who knows what else? This upcoming season might be as good as it gets for the Dolphins in many years. Take advantage of it. Play with a sense of urgency, and play smart (thats you, Vontae Davis). Play like the season is cancelled next year (and it might be). If our coaches coach like that and our players play like that, who knows what might happen?I am happy as hell CP is making this point.
 
Chad Henne is no Chad Pennington (and that's a compliment to #10)!
 
One season at a time, this year Penny is the man and he is our leader. Penny has his own destiny at his finger tips and hopefully he leads this team to a successful season. If he earns it I am sure this FO will sign him and deal with Henne the way they have been dealing with Penny, straight up. One thing I was concerned about was the mistake of putting Henne in there just because he was a high draft pick and has a stronger arm, however I have more confidence in this staff and dont think that will happen, they will put in there the best player who will help us win now, the way it should be, whether it be Penny or Henne.

On a side note though if Miami chooses to go with Henne next year and not sign Penny, if Penny stays healthy dont be surprised if he ends up torching us up again like he did with the Jets, just maybe this time it may be Buffalo, Tampa or Jacksonville.
 
High character class act, and inspirational leader.. even if competing against Top 10 Scoring D's continues to be a challenge. Teach the grasshopper well, Penny.
 
Guys if Pennington has another season like last year, he might very well earn his extension. No way they let him go for a backup QB.
 
Chad is something else isn't he? There's something about his character and leadership, the "get the job done" mentality that goes alongside the leadership.

I've learnt alot just watching him and listening to his interviews, I can't imagine how much Henne and the rest of the team must be learning with him leading them every day.
 
love it. if our D is unbreakable, the sky is the limit this year.
