According to him, he isn't kicking himself



I don't believe him.  I am not saying he is a lier, just a professional that would not throw his team under the bus.  He still has a house in Fla, and rents in Wash.  Consider Fla his home and defended the decision as right at the time and talked about how much Pennington means to the Dolphins. 

Sounds like a guy who would not have asked to be traded if he had any inkling of what the respective records would be at this time in the season.

Wow he is brutally honest in this piece.

Dumb Question here, But Would be Able to even Sign Pennington if Jason was on the roster? I know Chad isn't exactly cheap,but not  franchise QB expensive either....

Not cheap but at a price tag of $11M and we already have 9 wins...that's at least good value.  I think Jamarcus Russel costs $8M per TD pass.

I thought the off-season program wasn't mandatory for vets. If JT's career/off the field projects wasn't enough to set an example for these 20 something yr. old MEN, then sir, you have problems. Parcells didn't want him/like him. Nothing to kick himself over, and really, what are the chances Miami wins the Super Bowl this year or next? Besides, JT wasn't staying here long anyways.

TGod, bravo, sir.  JT himself said that when he was traded, Miami had no Pennington at QB.  This team would be nowhere near sniffing 11 wins if Henne or Beck were calling plays in the huddle. 

2 sacks today, including a forced fumble.  I agree with him; this dog can still hunt.
