Pennington/Run through QBs after Marino

Basically it says stuff we already know. Parcells loves Henne and likes Pennington and brought him in. McCown is getting paid less therefore Pennington gets the job. Then there is a cool, but sad run through of all the QBs past Marino.

First off I have no idea why we would drop Beck over McCown. McCown from my understanding will cost around $2 mill more than Beck for these next two years. Assuming Pennington is the season starter for the year... If we keep McCown we will again have a QB carousel with two qbs of close to equal (low) value and having them fight for the job during season. Splitting the starts 10 and 6. This hasn't worked out in the past as seen by the espn chart.

Another possibility would be for McCown (backup QB) to come off the bench whenever needed (Even start games if necessary). I would much rather have Henne doing that if it was between them two. Better yet have the option of either Beck or Henne and drop McCown.

The last and least likely (still likely) option is if Henne were to start most of the season. I don't think we need two veteran qbs as backups. I do see sense in this though. If Henne is for sure the guy, then both Pennington and McCown most definitely would play better off the bench than Beck. I still think we would manage with just one of these as a backup and Beck as a super back up just in case.

Maybe we can trade McCown for a 6th or 7th rounder, but otherwise we will have to release him.

You know thw why of all this questions?

You have all this questions, because the coaching staff and the manager and BP, don’t now what they are doing and now the look like they are shooting to the sky to see if they hit something. A new heat coach without expirience, like last year. A team that plays like a no team, like last year, leftover qb’s coming in to grown younger qb’s, like last year. This plan, that is been implemented this year, was ALREADY implemented last year, there is no secret of the outcome. Don’t spect a diff outcome went you keep repeating the same pattern.

I will see the Dolphins win a SUPER BOWL before i die(21 years and counting)
