  • I don't find it surprising that Pennington was named the starter, he should
    be based on his experience level. There are a couple things I worry about
    though. I know he's a smart guy, but does he really know the playbook well
    enough at this point? I guess it doesn't make a huge difference, because
    even if he knows every play in the book it isn't going to make the
    difference between making the team playoff bound or not, but it's worth
    worrying about anyway.

    I don't know that he'll need to prove he's still a top tier QB though. Think
    about it, if Brady were dressing as the starting QB for the Dolphins this
    year, would he look like a top tier QB? Probably not. I think regardless of
    how he plays, you let him play all of this season, or at least until he
    hurts his shoulder again. If anyone knows about the proper way to develop a
    QB, it's Parcells. I don't think he wants to see Henne take a single snap
    this entire season, and it would really serve Henne well if that turns out
    to be the case.
  • I think they should keep the leash on Pennington short. This team will have a very impressive running game, and the WR will probably be enough to win some games...if Pennington and his old arm aren't getting it done lets see what Henne has to offer!
