Truth be told, I'm not exactly the fan of the Pennington signing. But, as Dolphins' fans, we're going to have to root for him. So.... this a support group thread for people (like myself) who just can't seem to fathom stomaching the sight of Pennington in 'Phins uniform.

yeah im having a hard time with this also. If he plays well he'll be loved and if he doesnt then he will be run out of Miami.

Definitely not rooting for him unless rooting for him to get hurt counts.
Joking about the getting hurt part but I really hate this signing.Silverphin likes this. -

I dont know how to feel about this signing. I think that our FO signed him to be the starter and that closes the door for Beck. So Beck only has a chance to show something if Pennington gets hurt or plays veeery bad. If he doesn't, Henne will take over in a year and Beck will be out without ever been able to show that he can do it.
btw. my first post :knucks: -
thanks a lot Alen!
Go Phins!!!! -

I hated it but the signing is growing on me. CP is a Fin now, so I am a fan, period.

My best friend the Jets fan (I know, I can't help he has bad taste) called to say congratulations earlier, and kinda put it in perspective for me-His statement was that in the offense we are projected be running this year, Pennington will be the best option. Grind it out, strong running game, quick slants and short, accurate passes when needed.
I hate that I am saying this, but I think he's right.
I just reached the 5th stage of grief: Acceptance. Damn. -

To be honest, I'm kind of scared for the team. There's been so much turmoil the last several years. All these guys coming and going don't seem to make us any closer to being more stable. It seems every thing just stays up in the air with no sign of getting the team united and playing as a team.
bp still worries me, has since the beginning. -
I have been there for a long time! Don't worry he is your best bet this year.

I just hope he does better than ...

If Dolphins fans were able to accept four years of Jay Fiedler, then one or two years of Chad Pennington should be nothing.

Well guys, I could've been worse. At least we didn't spend a 2nd on the guy. :)

:pity: So much disdain towards Chad...I've always liked him as a person, with his undeniable lockerroom leadership and the way he carried himself...I just hated the colors he wore. Now that he is a part of the Phin family I will root for and support him. I see this as a great opportunity for our young guys to learn from an experienced vet.

Does he really provide us with a much better option?
The FO stated that this rebuild wasn't going to happen overnight and it seems that right now they are making desperate moves in order to win as much as possible right away. To me that is the complete opposite of their original intent. Now we have Pennington who has a weak arm, yes he's a game manager and yes he comes with much more experience than what we currently have, but now opposing defenses will no longer fear the long ball and that more than likely will negatively impact our running game. I was just talking to a Jets fan on another board who I trust who said that teams were jamming the line because they knew that Penny couldn't throw deep.
Not to mention that this puts the development of Beck and Henne on the backburner because they won't be getting the game experience that comes from playing.
So because we didn't improve dramatically and I don't think anyone here would confuse us with a playoff team, is it worth it to bring in a QB with a shaky record of being healthy and a weak arm if it doesn't get you to the playoffs and only nets you another 2 wins? Do you throw the rebuilding plan out the window for a player that might change your record from 3-13 to 5-11? Is that improvement if your young players don't get a chance to shwo what they can do?
I would much rather live through another 1-15 season if it meant that the rebuld was being done the right way than to continue to patch holes in an effort to win now at the expense of our young players.
So we have Penny, where does it stop?
Do we get Glenn (who by all accounts isn't healthy enough to be signed) when he's clear to play?
Do we go out and get Bentley who would take a spot from Thomas or maybe even push Satele out of the C spot?
Why add older players to the team if it means stunting the development of your youngsters?
I just don't get it. :no:
That isn't necessarily for you, anyone can answer. :knucks: -

If the plan is to be a legit playoff contender in 2 years, why have Penny around for 2 years and then insert a young guy who hasn't had a chance to prove himself? That doesn't make a lick of sense to me. :confused:Phinperor likes this. -

Just because they are rebuilding doesn't mean they should forbid having veterans on the team.Phinperor likes this.
