Pat White MIA from today's practice...

I could understand if they were shopping him but its still pretty damn crazy to think about IMO, considering he's a year removed from college and being taken in the second round.

 

I think trade speculation is there simply because there's no other fathomable reason. It's a pretty unlikely scenario, IMO. At least right now. Who knows what sort of injuries occur to our QBs or other teams' QBs.

 

Well, I think he is either on the trade block, or headed to the pup.

Right now, when other teams are installing their systems out on the practice field is the time to move him as he can learn the offense from scratch.

Eh, was fun to consider.

 

I doubt he goes anywhere. He's only in his second year, and a second round draft pick.

 

I'm suspecting a trade is in the works. If Pat can't beat out Thigpen, and he doesn't want to make the switch to WR/RB, then he has no roster value to the Dolphins. If the reason he missed practice was due to an injury, or he missed a flight, the Dolphins would have no reason to keep quiet about it.

If there's no word by tomorrow, and he's a no-show again... I say he's getting traded.

 

This is strange

 

LOL...and if my team can get a 2nd for him.
Admit your mistake and TAKE IT!

 

not really. It happens every year. Sometimes it is something, sometimes it is nothing.

 

Or maybe he just had a family emergency?

Trade was the first thing to come up, simply because people needed to write it off SOMETHING.

 

I see no reason for either right now.

If any of our QBs are on the trade block, it's Pennington.

 

I disagree. The time to move him is when there is demand caused by a shortage of QB's due to injury and White at least shows that he can become a QB.

 

I suggest we wait a couple of days before jumping to conclusions.IMO this is a tempest in a teapot.It doesnt make sense he would be traded .

Until Pat White proves he can play QB in the NFL he has little or no trade value

 

I doubt that Pennington will get traded, He is a Parcell Guy and a mentor to Chad Henne, if any QB will get traded i believe it will be Thigpen or White but IMO they wont trade Pennington.

 

we'll know after the fact

 

I can't see us trading him. Just cant. Its way to early. 2nd season, 2nd round pick. I just dont see it. Sure seems odd there's no other explanation though

 

I'm done speculating about White.

 

Apparently, word is that White's going on the PUP, and he's going to miss all of training camp for a 'non-football-related' issue.

WTF? Is Pat White quitting?

 

And off to the pup he goes.

#2 Contestant voted off of Sparano Island.

 

I'm hearing he may be going back to baseball.....

 

Certainly a possibility. He has been drafted 3 times by different teams. Maybe he has come to an epiphany of sorts and thinks that he won't ever be a starter at QB in the NFL?

Very curious situation.

Just my opinion, but I think it could be the Fins that may be in the market for a 3rd QB at some point this TC. I love Penny to death, but how well recovered is he really ?? Wasn't there rumblings that he may not be ready for camp ?? If White is re-assessing his life in football or at least the dreams of being a starting QB versus a WR, RB or KR or whatever and Penny falters because of his injury....where does that leave us ??

 

This has to be a mother ****ing joke!! A 2nd round pick on this kid and he's walking?! This is the first time that news about an NFL player who as accomplished nothing at the pro-level has made my jaw hit the floor.

Unbelievable.

Or he's apparently back at camp? This isn't good at all...
