During the season, the media had asked Sparano if he thought Pennington would be back next season. Sparano had answered that "...I have not sat down and discussed that yet, that is for the offseason....Pennington knows how I feel about the guy, I have tons of respect for him...."

Then, the media just asked Sparano if Henne was his starter for 2010, (same question they asked Sparano last season about Pennington, which Sparano didn't have to review tape, he answered with an emphatic, YES, Pennington is my starter for 2009!) But Sparano answered 'this time' with a "I have to review tapes and I have not discussed that yet, that's for the offseason...." What does 1 + 1 equal? :read:


That Sparano was being straightforward honest about the QB spot. Sparano had already revealed that he has not rejected the possibility of re-signing Chad Pennington (who last season he called a Pro Bowl QB, remember?).

Then, with the fact that he also said during the season that the "ONLY" reason Pat White became the #2 QB was because of the injury to Pennington.

So it seems that Sparano didn't commit to Henne because he is "pondering", not decided, but "pondering" re-signing Chad Pennington to retake his starting position, grooming Henne one more year to fix his touch and his pocket presence, with a very reliable Thigpen as the 3rd string QB.

Then, with Pennington back, Pat White can continue to be bulked up and developed to be moved to the position he was actually drafted for....the Josh Cribb position.

Pat White will likely be developed as our KR/PR, 4th WR, and WC Specialist in the mold of Josh Cribbs (who was also a QB when he started in this league as well as weighed and is the exact height of Pat White, :ponder:).

This could also lead to "pondering" moving Ted Ginn in a trade with a draft pick to say DEN for a Brandon Marshall? Or Ginn and a draft pick to a team for a #1 WR.

:type:

Leaving a QB corps of Pennington, Henne, Thigpen.

And a WR corps of #1 WR, Hartline, Bess, White, and Camarillo or Turner.

:ponder:
 
this needed it's own thread? Highly doubt Pennington is coming back.
 
I doubt Pennington comes back. You never know. They do have a lot of respect for him but Henne gives us the better chance to win.

How can anyone doubt that PEnningont comes back with the signs that point to the fact that Pat WHite is not going to be one of our 3 QBs?

Pat White is moving to KR/PR/WR. That's obvious. So that leaves one QB spot open. We have 2 youngsters in Henne and Thigpen. That leaves a spot open for the veteran....which Pennington definitely is.

Hey, even if HEnne beats him out and Pennington ends up being the veteran backup QB at the #2 or #3 QB spot, Pennington is definitely coming back. How can anyone doubt that?:err:
 
No way that we carry 4 QB's. Penningtons time is over in Miami. Henne will start with Thigpen as the #2 and White will be the #3 emergency QB. Unless, someone offers us a decent pick for White that gives the FO a way out.

That's absurd. Parcells is not going to spend the #44 pick in the draft on a 3rd string QB. That is absolutely :crazy:.

Pat White is NOT going to be one of our 3 QBs next year. He is going to move to the Josh Cribbs/Brad Smith position.

Pennington will be one of our 3 QBs almost positive.

Whats obvious about it? He has not returned any punts or kicks this year nor had a single pass thrown his way. Not one single person in a position to make that kind of decision has even hinted that might be on thier minds. From the day they drafted him they have said over and over that they drafted him to be a QB.

pennington wants to start...that's why he does not come back.
 
Look, it's obvious because he says it is. There doesn't have to be any hints or signs pointing toward it happening.....it just is...
 
henne will be our qb without a doubt in my mind. he said this so he will work his *** off this offseason.
 
If these clowns were to hitch their wagon to Chad Cantstayhealthyington for another year then they deserve to be run out on a rail..

Either prove you can develope your own quarterback and give him some weapons or hit the road....

Henne will be in the last year of his contract in 2010 and it's his chance to prove whether or not he deserves another one....

He should have been starting in the first place...

Well, our mangement was incompetent enough to draft Pat White in the 2nd round, so who knows. It would be hard to follow the Dolphins if Pennington did come back as the Dolphins starting QB.
 
Henne has a better completion % and Passer rating with none of the talent Peyton manning had with WR his rookie year. He will get better and more disciplined. I like what I see and look forward to 25 TD 10 INT next year :) Give or take a few each way.

Well, you believe Sparano is a LIAR. Go head. I'm taking him at his word, that he is going to ponder all options. He said he didn't want to commit and then have the media say "hey, but you said...."

So he is definitely pondering his options. Like it or not.
