I'm surprised Pennington didn't want to go somewhere else and be a starter.

Pennington will probably start here.  He is a lot better than Henne will ever be.

Hey Sponge. Long time no see. At least you got your caps-lock issue fixed.

So what does this even mean?  Are we keeping 4 QB's this year?  I wouldn't be too supportive of ditching any of our younger players to keep Pennington for another year.  If we keep all 4 then great, but our front office guys don't seem to be real supportive of the 4 QB way of doing things.

It means that White was a very bad pick and a waste of a 2nd rounder. He is way too light for the NFL and will need a few more years to be effective if at all. This draft is not a good one for QB's.  They are hoping Pennington buys them time and spreads knowledge at the same time.

Agree with this... I think White was a risk-pick that didn't pan out, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him out of the equation completely in short order.


I think Henne is still developing as an NFL QB, and that he'll be just fine as Miami's starter. He'd be even better with Brandon Marshall and one more large side of beef on the O-line. ;D

Having Pennington as a more-than-capable backup can't be anything but a good thing. Having a capable #3 QB like Thigpen is also a good thing, and something that not too many teams can claim, in regards to QB depth.

I'm looking forward to seeing if Thigpen was a fluke last year at the end. He played pretty well for the short time he played.

If Miami gets rid of Tyler Thigpen, they will regret it.

Thigpen is a much better quarterback than Chad Henne. What you saw during the Pittsburgh game WAS no fluke D5499. The guy came in cold and kick started the offense and that's hard to do.

If you go back and look at the time when he was the KC quarterback, they were in most of those games down to the wire. He's fast, throws a long ball with touch and can get out of the pocket.

Sadly, Thigs may be the odd man out in Miami.

Thats the biggest problem I saw with the past regimes. If they picked a guy they would stick with him until he got hurt or they got fired. Hopefully This one will light the fire of competition and let the best man win.

It's nice to have some veteran depth at QB. 

Interesting....I figured Chad was gonna sign where he had the best chance at winning a starting role.  Maybe he thinks that is Mia. 

I don't see Mia carrying 4 QBs on the 53, but I doubt they cut anyone before camp ends.  Pennington could be cut.  Article doesn't say how much he got as a bonus. 

Basically if he get traded it means he got traded to a team that wants him as a starter.  I can't image any team giving that much money and even a 7th round pick for a someone to sit on the bench for a year. 

I don't see how this can mean anything but White getting axed. The guy needs to bulk up NOW.

While i realize many of you on this site have a man crush on Tyler Thigpen, I expect to see the dolphins trade him before the draft for a mid round pick, or perhaps as part of a move on draft day. I agree that he's worth keeping, but Parcells and Ireland don't listen much to me when it comes to personnel.

From the posts I've read from you here, it is pretty obvious that you aren't a very knowledgeable football fan.  No offense, you might be bright about other topics.  But football....not so much.

From some other Artcile I saw It's a 1 year 2.5 million dollar contract, but if he gets traded it's Like 4.15 million..(I'll look for the article.

I think it was NFL network, talked that Chan Gailey (Now in Buffalo) Liked Tyler Thigpen, it was the new regime in K.C. that din't....

I saw those figures.  My question is how much money does CP make if he gets cut (not traded) before the first game of the season. 

Thats fucked up isn't it!?  I mean I gave them some perfectly good advice last year and they ignored it as well!  Fuckers......... ;D

Why not keep our QB thing the way it was last year?

White had some key runs for us, plus he was on the field for several touchdowns. 

I am with fyo, I don't see them keeping four quarterbacks.  They are either going to cut White, convert White or look to trade him or Thigpen.

Wow.  I'm very surprised.  I really like Pennington, so I'm glad to have him on the team.  I think, like mentioned by others above, that this is the end of Pat White.

Because his head is dented now. After a shot like that its going to be really hard to get him to run successfully anymore. Ted Ginn will probably be more apt to take a hit then White . Then again that might be a good thing for a QB.......but his wildcat days are over.

I wonder why we don't offer up Thigpen to the Cardinals as trade bait. They are supposedly talking about handing over a 3rd round pick to San Diego to sign Charlie "Who?" Whitehurst. Surely Thigpen is a better value for a third round pick than Whitehurst is?

 

I really like Pennington But, you have to wonder why the Fins didn't want a no trade clause in his contract! I have a feeling thats why we resigned him,trade bait!

According to the Miami Herald... The plan is to have Pennington to be the #3 QB after Thigpen.  I think this is alot of money to throw at a #3 but if he and help Henne and Thigpen, this might be worth it.

Here is the article....

Good article, Thanks. I guess in a uncapped year this might make sense!I still think they will trade him.I wish he would become a QB coach!
