Which QB should start against the Patriots?

[MyGodWearsAHoodie]

^ you really think it makes a difference this week?

Yes, I am not looking past the Dolphins.  If it was Brady I would be.  I have a lot of confidence in Cassel (more than most Patriots fans) but as they say, "any given Sunday".  In 2001, Brady won his first start against the Colts and Peyton Manning, then lost to the Dolphins and Jay Fiedler.

A couple lucky bounces and the Dolphins get up.  Cassel can managed the game and move the chains, but if the Pats are down by 5 with 2:00 on the clock in the 4th, I don't yet trust him to put together a 2 drill and win the game.

A double     on this... Beck was "ruined" long before he got to Miami... He was a minimally-talented QB who was grossly misevaluated by the former regime as being a decent QB prospect.

Ireland went on the record right after they took over (before watching game film) saying that he and Parcells had had a very high draft "score" on Beck. It didn't seem like a case of just saying something nice about the players they were about to take over, but I guess anything is possible.

I have heard the same thing from Jeff Ireland himself on a Sirius NFL radio interview he did when they were broadcasting from Dolphins training camp.  He specifically said they liked what they saw from Beck and that he was improving daily and expected that he could be a servicable QB down the road.

STOP THAT RIGHT NOW

You said the same thing about Beck and now he's "ruined" for life.

I just say Give Penny the right to fuk it all up.  Not like  miami gonna be contenders for quite some time.   Let Henne study the clipboard.   Look at Romo while he was under Vinny and Bledsoe ?

It may not have seemed that way to you, but it most certainly did to me. I had to see it that way though, because the alternative is to admit that Ireland and Parcells aren't as savvy at personnel evaluation as I've given them credit for.

Pennington no question!!!!!

24 - 3 Pennington.  I guess the impatient people are also the most outspoken.

Pennington

And, I agree with the receiver from the scrap heap. Bring Keyshawn or Joe Horn...Hell bring them BOTH in.

Add Chad Jackson to that list too.  Get rid of Hagan and Wilford as they have very little trade value if any at all, and try to trade Ginn.

  If Chad Jackson is not good enough to be signed by the team before I really do not see why they would be interested now. 

Barring injury I do not expect them to be interested in Jackson & when you factor in Seattle is also not interested in his services, means he might just be equal to what they already have.

I don't know how many posts I read daily where my initial reaction is "God, I'm glad Tommy's not the Dolphins' GM"

Yeap, he seems to believe constant change will make things better.  Needs to realize that building a fountain is not something Barbara Eden can do.  ( Showing my age here ) & you have to struggle in the beginning.

There's no reason for Henne to start now.
Fans need to manage their expectations for this season.
This is a 3 year process at best.
Pennington is the hand we've been dealt this season.
His arm strength reminds me of ELF but he is 10 times smarter & more accurate.
Unless we're in a wildcard race in Nov (unlikely) - let Henne start at home against the Raiders

Penny.......I kinda like the guy. Its not his fault if he has the Worst receiver squad in the NFL.
