Penny has a dislocated shoulder...maybe
71 replies
padre31luxury_boxOPAlthough Pennington declined to be specific about his right shoulder's status, the team is fearing the injury is a dislocation of his throwing shoulder. Team doctors popped the shoulder back into place on the sideline but the damage was done, according to a source.
A dislocated shoulder is different than a separated shoulder in that a dislocation means the top of the arm pops out of the socket. In a separation, there could be damage to the ligament that connects the collarbone to the shoulder blade.
Both are serious, particularly for a quarterback.
Pennington will miss an unspecified amount of time. Depending on what the MRI this morning reveals, Pennington could be out as little as three weeks or up to 12 weeks, which would effectively end his season. If the injury -- regardless of whether it's a separation or dislocation -- is acute, it might require surgery.
And that also would be a season-ending situation.
Pennington has already undergone two right shoulder surgeries in the past. Pennington was talking like someone who expects bad news following today's MRI.
Well, the Henne era begins, White is the backup Qb, if Penny's injury is not serious he still can comeback in time to make a difference this season, if not we will be picking top 10.
Georgia Finforum_veteranWell unfortunately, with a poorly as the Oline has been playing and Penny's track record, we all knew this was coming. Still doesn't make it any easier.:no:
It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Well, this is counter intuitive but Pennington was a sort of security blanket, now we will see how good Ronnie and the Running Game is and whether or not Henne and White can play in the NFL or if we are wasting time with them.
Penny going down and maybe Carpenter popping a hammy during a game could be the two best or worst things that could happen to the dolphins.
SICKforum_veteranwtf? carpenter has been solid imo......why do you want him to pop a hammy???? :pity:

Jt0323moderatorSucks for chad, i really wanted him to prove his critics wrong and have the same season as last year, sadly that will not happen, regardless of what happens with him and the dolphins in the future, i would like to thank him for giving me a season i will never forget! One QB who i once hated, is one now one of my favorite! Great player, always played the game the way it was meant to be played, sad to see it end this way.

Probably so we might actually attempt to convert a 3rd down in the redzone instead of settling for a FG attempt.
I wonder if anyone has told Henning and Sparano that on a FG attempt the snap can get botched, they might start attempting FG's on 3rd down just incase then.
That really sucks for Pennington, all during the offseason you heard how much he was busting his butt to get in gear for this year. That guy is a trooper, and that was evident on that drive where he got his nose all busted up.
If it is more than just a couple weeks I'm sure he can expect more than a few thank you/get well soon cards. He's been nothing but class at the position and honestly it's just really sad to see this.
shaunm000forum_veteranWho put a curse on Pennington man? This guy just cant catch a break!
Frumundah FinnaticNew MemberWell it looks like we have to give Ronnie the ball now dont we?
Lets hope Henne can bounce back.

I thought we did that in week 2 against the Colts?
If this is what happens, it is what it is. I am a Henne supporter, but I didnt wish for Pennington to get hurt. He gave me a season last year that I will remember forever. He was the one that could have put our franchise back in the right direction. Now as for Henne, I just hope we are patient with him. I know alot of the people are going to say he sucks right away and such, but be patient he is basically a rookie. Manning in his rookie year went 24 TD and 28 INT. Look at him now.

and Henning panicked as always and decided not to run the ball.

yeah. and it worked. the defense should give their paychecks to Ronnie for that game. Cause they weren't even there.
muscle979forum_veteranNow we're going to find out if this bargain shopping for QBs in the 2nd round thing they've been doing the past three years can actually work.
Honestly, as much as I am sad that this happened to Pennington, and wish it didn't, this could be a good thing for our team.
We honestly weren't really expecting to make a superbowl run (not after our first two games at least). This will give us at LEAST 3 weeks of watching Henne perform in a real game situation, and see how he takes to it. If he shows some promise (a semi-consistent spark is all I'd really be looking for), then we might have someone long term. If he doesn't play well, then we draft early and try to get ourselves a franchise QB.
I think we're being cursed personally for having all that good luck while Marino was at QB. I mean good lord, I think Karma has paid us back in 10 fold with what we've had to deal with (prior to CP).
Anyways, fingers crossed, hoping for the best. It would be great to come out of this situation with a solid franchise QB getting a year of play in against some of the league's top teams/defenses.
LarryfinfansubscriberThe big issue now is "Will Henning and Sparano let loose the reigns some and throw the ball downfield ??" Now, someone please email them and let them know that it's perfectly legal to do. The thing we lose with Henne is the game savvy that Penny has. That can't be replaced except with time and experience. Most folks on this board are not going to be patient enough with him, I suspect. There will be growing pains but getting the experience will help in his development, be it for 3 weeks or the rest of the season. Either way, we are now in a quandary at QB because we have no #3 and our #2 hasn't shown anything one way or the other (good or bad)...On the bright side, barring an unforeseen injury to Henne, there won't be any question about whether to activate Henne or White. One less decision for the staff to make each week...
Oh, and while I'm at it, please, no Garcia here....pleeeeaaaassseee !

At least they're not being jackasses about it... most of them feel bad for Pennington from my experience.
dolphindebbyluxury_boxIn Tony's presser on aquavision he said their doing more tests before reporting anything.
Their checking JP too. Said he was sore today.

Yup, they know the pain of having your starting QB go down due to injury.
Well, this is why it's important to keep expectations in check, you never know what bump in the road is going to get your the way. I think it's important for our folks to give Henne a chance instead of taking their frustration out on him, it isn't his fault that Penny is as fragile as he is. It's time to let him develop and find the positives in his play, rather than have 20 threads bashing the kid because he wasn't able to save the world yesterday.
I love you Mom, you are the greatest woman that I've ever known.
