2009 Outlook: Quality Backup

Being a Jets fan I had no choice but to watch Pennington for the first 8 years of his career. For the most part, I liked what I saw. Chad commanded the offense well, holding onto the ball and taking few chances. Because Pennington made choices on the field, it was hard for me not to like the guy. As with any player through there is always something we find fault with. In Chad's case it was his lack of arm strength. He never seemed to take the chance and throw the deep ball. For Miami that was exactly what they needed last season, someone to control the clock, not make bad choice and give them a chance to win each and every game. For this seasonm however, I think expectations are much higher and Chad is going to have to play even better than last year or he could lose his job to Chad Henne. Miami didn't select Henne in last year's draft to have him stand on the sideline and watch the Dolphins lose. If you're a gambling man then Pennington could pay off, but if you like to play it safe then I'd stay away until the season has started and we see what type of player Pennington will be this season.
