crashingjet Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/football/nfl/10/30/chff/index.html Bill Parcells has overseen more rehabs than the Betty Ford Clinic. But his effort with the 2008 Dolphins may prove his best work yet. Much of the credit for Miami's ascension -- the 'Fins have already tripled their 2007 win total -- goes to a single acquisition: Chad Pennington, the woefully underrated quarterback whose historic efficiency far outweighs his reputation as a noodle-armed parabola-tosser. As we enter the halfway mark of the 2008 season, Pennington has proven the single greatest acquisition Parcells (or anyone else for that matter) has made this year, while the Dolphins are the clear winner in the high-stakes quarterbacking shell game they played with the Packers and Jets back in August. The Dolphins acquired Pennington this summer almost as an afterthought. The Packers had rejected Brett Favre after his ill-fated fling with retirement, while the Jets couldn't resist the time-honored allure of the old gunslinger or his quest to pad his all-time INT record (now at 299, including a league-high 11 here in 2008). So the smitten Jets outbid everyone for Favre's services, while Miami's famed coupon-clipping, grocery-shopping vice president of football operations saw an opportunity to upgrade the most important position on the field and handed Pennington the starting gig. The Dolphins have improved dramatically in almost every area over the pathetic 1-15 team of 2007. But nowhere has the improvement been more dramatic than in the passing game. The Cold, Hard Football Facts rate passing attacks by adjusted yards per attempt, which accounts for sacks and yards lost on sacks. It's an incredibly telling indicator that has a direct correlation to winning football games. And Miami's turnaround in this area has been nothing short of stunning.

Vicious89x Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 This kid is hysterical. Great, the Fins are doing well, good for you. I for one, could give a crap less what Pennington does outside of 2 Sunday's a year now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTM Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 That Chad? Hey remember the post you just made about how Favres throws in last years championship game were throws anyone could make? Try applying that some logic to many of Chad's TD's this season including his 2 longest, and re-crunch those numbers without them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMMERMILL Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Favre is he most self centered SOB there is in football. Pennington is weak armed,but accurate with his throws. Favre throws it up for grabs. I can understand why jets Management went after favre and cut Pennington. It was a two pronged attack.... Take the chance that favre can win now,while we have to sell PSL'S Jets weren't getting by the Pats/(with Brady) as long as Pennington was QB, But when they made the move to Favre It was pure desperation. They sacrificed team concept For FavreMania,Good luck with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norway'sWaddlingMarmaloof Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 In fact, if not for a series of injuries that have hampered Pennington's career, or the Stone Age offensive theories that seem to consistently plague the Jets, we might be talking about him in the same breath as Tom Brady or With with that, any credibility this article had, vanishes into thin air.

It's possible, but c'mon, do you really want to lose Garb and Alk? Rhetorical question ... Sometimes I think the only reason I stick around here is because... Damnit, one day I want to come to this board after a win. Just once I want to come here after a game and not have to say "well the better team won" etc... Such Horse$hit. I guess I'm just a whippingboy for now, but one day... Ohh I rue the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
