If he does I'd rather see Henne, especially if we're out of playoffs (which I'm not counting on being in). Why play Beck I think he sucks, and he's like 27, or 28.
 
McCown. And its the exact reason that he will stick and Beck will be gone.
 
History dictates the future my friend. With our O-line being a work in progress, hopefully by the 3rd game there a much improved unit, but lets be real this o-line is completely new and it will take time to gel.
 
Hes still a human being, to which you should NEVER assume/hope for an injury.

and whats worse, HES ON OUR TEAM NOW, why would you even think about an injury?
 
It depends where the team is, in the unlikely event that the Dolphins are like 7-1 when Pennington gets injured then i think you'd have to go to John Beck because he has slightly more playing experience than Henne, and i guess would be more "seasoned" since he's been in the league a year longer. If McCown is on the roster then you probably go to him over Beck or Henne. If we're 0-8 then i'd probably still go to Beck, but wouldn't be unhappy if they went to Henne because at that point the season is over and it's time to see who has what.

EXACTLY. Thats why McCown will be on the roster and Beck wont. Because there isnt a GM in the league that wouldnt agree that as of right now Josh McCown is a better QB than John Beck is. PERIOD.

Thats why this is a great question. Because the answer to the question will tell you who the phins will keep. Two things we know are the Pennington is the starter and Henne is the guy that is the future. Those two things are LOCKED. All that needs to be answered is who is the backup. Who is better suited in the case of a Pennington injury to come in and give us a chance to win? The answer is Josh McCown. Not Beck.

And its exactly why when the first depth chart came out McCown was listed in front of Beck. Obviously so far the FO feels that McCown is the better of the two. No one wants Pennington to get injured, but its a possibility that must be considered.

And the FO isnt planning for 0-8. They are planning to win. That dosent guarentee it will happen. But, thats the plan. So you dont make plans for going 0-8. If we were 0-8, then I would say yea, keep Beck and play him. No need for McCown. But, that isnt the plan. The plan is to win. So they keep McCown incase Pennington has to miss a game or two and McCown will give us the better chance to win between he and Beck.

Face it Beckwagon. Its over.

If the Dolphins are 7-1 and looking to fight for a playoff spot, yeah you go with McCown because he has the starters experience and has won games. Which is what i said...Arguing that Josh McCown is a better QB than Beck is ridiculous, Beck has not proven that he is any better than McCown but at the same time has not proven he will be worse. What is so hard to understand about this?

McCown of course gives you a better chance to win NOW for that matter so does Cleo Lemon and Ray Lucas. That doesn't mean they are better than Beck, or worse than him, it just means they have more playing experience and would probably be able to manage the situation better.
