Big Ben #2 on CHFF's Top 8 Quarterbacks!

Re: Big Ben #2 on CHFF's Top 8 Quarterbacks!

In regards to Chad Pennington I'm impressed - especially considering the Dolphins have very little "proven" talent at WR. I mean when you're best WR is Ted Ginn Jr. who hasn't really lit the NFL world on fire...still throwing for 67.4% needs to be recognized.

I've followed Pennington's entire career (straight out of Marshall) and I've always thought he was a "decent" QB, however these stats do pop out at you.

Let me put it this way - would Chad Pennington have won just as much as Tom Brady if Pennington had been taking snaps in New England? Hard to say.

L.B.

no he wouldn't have... the one thing Pennington lacks is arm strength... he is great at doing enough to win but I don't think he is the kinda QB who can win games with his arm if the run is shut down. If he had to pass as much as Brady he would be exposed.

I love the Miami team but I watched them run the wildcat a lot and without it they were pretty average in terms of marching down the field.

You also have to remember those Jet teams he was on had Curtis Martin as well...(I think)

Pennington is good though and I wouldn't have traded him for Brett... Jets screwed that up IMO.
