Interesting article in the Palm Peach Post. Dave George writes that he sees the Dolphins QB situation like this: if the Dolphins struggle and fall out of the playoff race, they will likely make the switch to Chad Henne - letting the young QB get the much needed experience.

That's not new news, really. But what is interesting is that George thinks the "tipping point" could come as early as November. But for that to happen, the Dolphins have to really get off to a poor start.

At least us fans will have a lot to watch in 2009 - even if the Dolphins fall out of the AFC playoff picture earlier than we all hope.

Way to feed the fire when the building is burning...

Lets just stick to what we can control, and thats supporting our QB whoever that is. There is not one guy in here that is going to have the CP10 vs. Henne decision on his hands or even get their opinion asked.

Matty for all the editing you do for me....lemme repay the favor just once

“if season goes downhill”…..not to be a dick….just pointing it out.

Id agree with that if it happened. At that point you have to see why you spent a 2nd rd pick….you didnt spend it for his personality and clipboard skills.

I love me some CP10…but we have a future…and at that point itll be obvious its time to plan for it.

Too bad that shit aint gonna happen….and we are gonna start CP10 in 19 games…all victories

I think you summed it up perfectly
That’s not new news, really. But what is interesting is that George thinks the “tipping point” could come as early as November. But for that to happen, the Dolphins have to really get off to a poor start.

We’ll have played 11 games by the end of November, even if we’re 5 and 6, a 5 game win streak would bring us to 10 and 6, and a possible wild card birth, or depending how the rest of the AFC east doing, we might not even need that many wins, we all have to play the same schedule pretty much, so if its hard for us, its hard for them.

not sure about this

unless a team is 0-7 and someone not named cam is coaching it’s hard to tell a team they aren’t in the playoff hunt. and by that i mean a team that is 4-7 is still in the hunt to it’s players anyways. unfortunately we’ve been down this road before. it’s much easier and much better for the team to change QB’s for game 1 then it is for game 9…. plus looking at the schedule, with a LONG stretch of road games from the middle of the season to the end of the year, there really isn’t a good spot late to put him in. So as much as sparano and company haven’t been afraid to make changes to the lineup, i really don’t see henne playing unless the team starts 0-3 or 0-4.

i’d like to be proven wrong, but i’m pretty much resigned to seeing the team play with one arm tied behind it’s back for another season with the lame ducker.

right

but just because i believe something is ‘the right thing to do’ (say start henne now) doesn’t mean that i think it’s going to happen.
i’m realistic too. I just don’t see henne playing very much this season unless the team starts 0-3 or 0-4. the schedule just isn’t condusive to putting in a first time starter after the 4th or 5th game.

that said i think it’s likely that pat white’s PT will increase as the season progresses.

See what I like about this is the mindset that Henne is indeed the future, but why wait? Sure we have a decent thing with cp but

the thing is people think cp helps the team so much that we will get an extra 3-4 wins. Sure last year he was great for us, but our team is youthful but they have experience. We have more tools on offense and a better cast. and if the hope is to be contenders in 2010 do you really want to go into that season with a question mark at qb? Start Henne right now and go through what ever growing pains there will be…and who says he cant come in and be better than cp? he has the mindset and he’s much more gifted. Offense = more explosive with him.

ALong the lines of what W-NY fan mentioned...

it isn’t so clear cut in the NFL that a team is obviously out of the playoffs. Sure the cam-cam jokes will follow (and I will enjoy them!) but for instance, the chargers were 4-8 last year and thought to be absolutely dead. 5 games later they had won their division, knocked off Indy in the wildcard and traveling to Pittsburgh for the divisional playoff. Meanwhile our favorite patsy’s in NY were 8-3 before we knocked them off and ‘retired’ Favre for good :) :) :)

I also think that regardless of the team’s win-loss record, you just have to look at Quarterback play. If CP isn’t playing well, then it really would behoove us to replace him even if we were say, 6-5 or the like.

By now we all know that the QB road for the dolphins is quickly narrowing. Unless CP and the fins make a deep playoff run, then Henne will be the starter next year – or sooner if things go bad.

Wow

Wow. I went through the entire 108 comments and learned why the new policy on off-topic comments will be implemented, but not a single Pat White comment? I’m surprised at our short memory. After all, White is the young QB with the highest draft pedigree on the roster, so as long as he was brought here to play QB (which is what we’re hearing right now), it’s far from a given that it will be Henne and not White that will be the guy seeing action in case of emergency. No way to know that until after camp, I think.

And then there’s the possibility of the platoon system, with White running the weird offensive packages and Henne/Pennington the standard ones. I know many take for granted that White will be either a WR or a situational player but, at the very least, it’s far from a given at this point.

by icerob on May 29, 2009 1:01 PM EDT reply actions  

have to agree with this

yes, i think it’s very likely that pat will play a whole lot more than henne this year, unless there is a collapse at the front end of the season.

henne will likely get the first shot at running the “normal” offense and pat will run the exotic one which likely will be on the field for longer portions of the game if he turns out to be a game changer.
