Jetfan13 Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Sparano could care less what fans think about quarterback situation Ben Volin of the Palm Beach Post reports every time Henne throws a particularly ill-timed interception - as he did twice in the first half against New England - and every time ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports via "sources" that Bill Parcells is disappointed in Henne, the question gains more traction: Is Pennington, an 11-year veteran relegated to an unofficial player-coach role, better suited than Henne to quarterback the Dolphins this season? "He's the 1,000-pound elephant in the room sometimes," coach Tony Sparano said of Pennington, who lost his job to Henne last year after suffering a season-ending shoulder injury in Week 3. "We knew that, obviously. That's one of the things you consider when you bring a player like Chad (Pennington) back." Dolphins radio analyst Joe Rose said he hears the calls for Pennington "every day" on his morning show on 560 WQAM, and more than a few pleas for third-string quarterback Tyler Thigpen. Those callers will get more strident if Henne struggles Sunday at Green Bay. "This is no disrespect to any fans out there," Sparano said, "but I could care less what they think about the quarterback situation." NICE...

neckdemon Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 i think sparano is right here. he shouldn't give a rats a$$ what the fans think about which qb he plays. if he started worrying about what the fans were going to think abotu his roster decisions then it's time to quit.

war ensemble Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Sparano COULDN'T care less. If he could, that means he cares to some degree what the fans think. I don't understand why so many people have this phrase wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaches say this but ultimately succomb to fan and media pressure. It's really BS that there's been any pressure, but that's why I'm glad noodle arm is gone. No way Pennington has them any better then 2-2 right now. It's really stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rillo Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I don't see the Phins losing this game, but I would LOVE it if they did. If Henne plays poorly, I believe they'll pull him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
