Chad Pennington officially named starting QB
As expected, Tony Sparano today officially named Chad Pennington the team's starting quarterback following his 11/15, 94 yard, and 1 TD performance on Saturday night.
This comes as no shock, as most just assumed Pennington would be handed the starting job when he signed with Miami. But much to the delight of Dolphin fans, including myself, Pennington wasn't simply handed the job - he earned with with terrific play despite just being with the team for 2 weeks.
Penning, on being named the starter, said:
"I'm excited about the opportunity to lead this team. We've worked extremely hard over the last two weeks. And I'm proud to be a Miami Dolphin."
He should have also added that he can't wait to beat up on the team that just released him come opening day, but I guess he's too classy to say that. But I bet he was thinking it.
And below, you can see Pennington's reaction after Sparano told him he was the starter. He immediately put his uniform and pads back on and leaped into the arms of the guy whose ass he will place his hands under as a way to make a living.

OK...maybe not...

Penning’s knowledge of the Jet players and schemes will be a great Advantageous!
The fire in the belly won’t hurt either. BEAT THE JETS!!! Those boys are gonna wilt in that Miami heat.

Well, penniless diserved it
Hopefully he will make a strong case or performance this year and if need, we can trade him for picks next year and bring up Henne or stay with him
I will see the Dolphins win a SUPER BOWL before i die(21 years and counting)

Not John Beck??
Matty… come back from the ledge, man. ha.
This is the best possible scenario the Fins could have hoped for. Now just hope Glass Chad stays healthy, and gets our Fins some wins!! (notice, plural- wins- as in more than one!!)

Hmmm,
OK, so now that Planketon…. I mean Pinkton…. I mean…. geez I gotta stop drinking in the afternoon… rrrggghhh.
So, Pee-ton is the quarterback…. who’s he gonna throw to? Ginn and who? Speaking of Gin… I think I’ll have another…
We should get a receiver named tonic… then we ALL could have a gin & tonic….

As soon as I heard about Favre going to the Jets,
I said Pennington is coming here. And I was happy for it. You can’t be blinded by rivalries!
