A different form of hanging Chads in Florida: Dolphins making change at QB -- going from Chad Henne to Chad Pennington.
I'm not surprised about that switch at all.

What's Fins lack is explosive, vertical plays. Hard to see Pennington, with all those surgeries, providing that element.
The QB carousel is in full swing around the NFL.

I would not mind penny as our QB in 2011 while we groom a rookie
Henne great deep ball, but just like at Michigan he doesn't look off defenders and isn't quick with his reads. When his 1st read is open he can sling it in there, but with some congestion in the pocket he's lost and just throws it up for grabs.
Chad Henne had all these jock riders from the zone! Where are they at now :-P

He is a very under-appreciated player

Career rating of 90.1 is way better than what we have now

Pennington is worse than A Smithbroke and M Glassford combined dude was always hurt
I always thought Henne wasn't that good. I watched him all 23 years he played at Michigan. Not surprising.

Isn't that the definiton of Alex Smith? At least Pennington has led his teams into the playofs and won quite a few games.


R.I.P. Henne
