Henry I've "heard" so much about this Chad Pennington from you on.. I gotta know the history..
Why are you so fixated on him? :)
oh no
He couldn't decide on a QB, because whichever he put in there wasn't very good. You put in Burris or you put in Quinn, they both suck, so you keep rotating hoping that the football fairy will come down and take a crap on one of them, but it doesn't happen.
Their season got killed because they had no good QB backup. I guess that makes Lovie suck too because the same thing happened last year.
Richard, love ya man, but think the GM might have had a hand in whether you have a higher paid vet backup or a lower paid younger guys?
Yeah, they should have won another SB in 86, but they also should have had a real QB backup. Most teams don't
I blame Jerry Angelo
There's a book you should read...

He's quite simply the QB with the greatest potential ever.
He's the smartest (Rhodes Scholar candidate),
the most accurate historically
Greatest QB for the other greatest NFL franchise (whom I refuse to root for until they get rid of Rex Ryan; I could root for them when they still had schottenheimer, but this *********** is the coaching equivalent of Brent Favre)
Could have been ours in 2006 for a 2nd round pick (which would've cost us Daniel Manning, but won us the SB)
Amazing "game manager"/field general
Only didn't make it to the SB in 2004 because that idiot Doug Brien couldn't make an easy field goal, and when given a shot at redemption **** it up again
Did NOT have a weak throwing arm (which is a misnomer many in the media and elsewhere liked to propogate, but having seen every snap he played, I've seen dude throw it accurate downfield)
Saved the Jets from a 2-5 start to finish 9-7 and win the division in 2002, his first year starting
Took the Dolphins from 1-15 to 11-5 (no other personnel changes, and seeing that Sparano was the HC, it was ALL HIM) to another division championship after being cut by the Jets for the vastly inferior Brent Farve
Only QB to win the AFC East that isn't named Tom Brady since 2001
Comeback player of the year twice
Second (should've been first, but since voters are stat geeks....) in the MVP in 2010
Only knock on the dude is:
He would get injured from time to time
Had one of the worst HC's in recent memory (Eric Manjini, really?)
Never played for the Bears
That good enough for ya Z?
