Chad Pennington: Good Bye

by samdaman on Sep 29, 2009 6:08 PM EDT

Gentleman, today is a very sad day for me. The Miami Dolphins have placed Chad Pennington on IR, pretty much ending his days as a dolphin, and probably as a football player. I know a lot of you didn't exactly like Chad as our number one QB, but I would like to disagree with you all. Chad did what was thought to be impossible, unimaginable, extraordinary. He was kicked to the curb by the Jets, and snatched up by Mr. Parcells and Co. I was a big doubter of this move. " How is a week armed, injury prone, aging quarterback gonna help the 1-15 dolphins rebuild? I got my answer quickly: he wasn't, he was going to do so much more. After an expected slow start, Chad led us to win, after win, after win. We went into week 17 one win away from the devision championship. Some place no one expected us to be. And best of all, the team we needed to beat was Chad's old NY Jets. That night, I sat in the Medowlands parking lot in the front seat of my car. I listened to every snap on the radio. And at the final whistle, when all dust was cleared, we were devision champions. And at there stood Chad, wearing his dolphin jersey and grey hat. The hero, the leader of the AFC champs. This post is not for a "henne vs. penne" argument. I don't want to hear any hate. Just take time to remember our fallen hero.

We'll miss you Chad. Hope to see you coaching us one day. Good bye.

It makes me sick to my stomach to know that CP10 is out of the league..

and guys like Vick are still in it. Pennington is a true class act!

As much as it pains me to say it he’s done. He won’t have an arm after surgery. Now don’t tell me he never had an arm…

He’s every QB’s idol. He was a great leader and the most accurate passer in league history.

talk about a class act.

nothin better than getting traded and beating your former team and being able to go into the playoffs. it sucks to see him go because hes a great players and true competitor, but unfortunately, his injury fits right into our plans as a franchise…

hopefully he’ll be coach pennington in the future

I feel sad but...

Chad came out of nowhere and probably saved himself from only ever being mentioned in history as one of those guys who never lived up to Namath. I thought he played well last year- but not so much this one. Not everyone can pull a Favre. This injury just gave you the proper motivation and excuse to get out and retire. After all, who is going to remember 0-3. Your 11-5 miracle comeback season will forever shine in the statbooks. Its time to do what Kurt didn’t do, and Favre tried to avoid, to give up the reins to the future.
