Cool, my biggest complaint about writing off Pat White has been he just has not be given the snaps to show what he can do now in a head to head competition with Tyler Thigpen, in the preseason, White will have the opportunity to sink, or swim, as Sparano knows what Pennington is and what he can do, there is little need to play him (unless a trade was in the works).
Same units, same players, same plays, same opposing defenses. White will have the same opportunity as Thigpen

I am looking forward to this preseason.

makes sense. we already know what Pennington brings to the party...

Ya just never know. -
This makes a LOT of sense. We know what Penny can do, Henne just needs his few snaps to fine tune, the real competition will tell us what White has done to improve and confirm (IMHO) Thiggy is a far superior QB to White.

I like Confidence in players, cannot stand overly high opinions of themselves when they haven't done a single thing to merit it. -

That is why I love the NFL, sooner or later, it is a show me league.
I happen to think Pat White will do fine as a Qb, I can't speak to ceilings as he has less than what..20 passing attempts? Which is why I am psyched that both will have the same shot in the preseason. -
Good decision by the staff. We know what Pennington is, and can do. Lets see who is worth keeping on this team as a backup QB, White, or Thigpen. Should be an interesting preseason.

Its interesting that Thigpen hasnt been getting much coverage. I seem to be reading about his picks in camp every time a recap of a practice session is printed. He's going into his fourth year and it seems like he has the same interception problems he had as a rookie. Has he improved at all in three years? The guy obviously has some skills but he's gotta improve on his turnovers at some point soon

it will all come out in the wash...
you girls are trying to hang clothes on the line
before you do the laundry
as far as I can see
things are proceeding correctly. it all looks good to me.
we'll soon have everything ironed out
by the 1st game we'll be dressed for success -
It is my view that Qb Coach Lee expects each Qb on the roster to play in a certain manner, ie from under center, with a consistent arm angle that Lee and Sparano approves of using.
That is (imho) why Thiggy and to a lesser extent White, struggle during Training Camp, I can understand why Sparano wants things that way, but those are two mobile Qb's who for them, it may not be the best way for them to play. -

with White, I want to see him throw out patterns and flash improved speed and quickness on the edge of the defense I really want to see some of his College tape translate to the NFL, his problem in my view, is what he did at WVa just has not shown up as of yet in the NFL...at nearly any level.
Film doesn't lie, he should be able to do some of those things, the reasons why he hasn't I suspect have to do with White's need for Sparano to believe in Pat 100%...but this is the NFL...know what I'm saying? -
