Chad Pennington Injury Spin
When Chad Pennington went down last week, the fears of all Miami fans were finally realized: the Dolphins had crash landed back to reality. To be fair, Miami was well on its way to 0-3 even with Pennington under center, but when his shoulder was obliterated once again on Sunday, the memories of last year’s AFC East title all but faded. Gone is all the optimism from last year’s season as this team looks closer to Cam Cameron’s atrocious 1-15 team. However, with all the doom and gloom out of the way, the 2009 Dolphins season actually went from lose-lose to win-win. I need to preface this by saying that the impact Chad Pennington has had on the Dolphins in just over a season has been immense. Along with Tony Sparano and Bill Parcells, his leadership helped transform an abysmal 1-15 squad into an AFC Playoff team. He’s been the Dolphins best quarterback since Marino. Period. His character, perseverance and determination cannot be questioned. He’s come back from two shoulder surgeries and I would not doubt that he comes back from a third. He’s also one of the rare guys in sports who commands immense amounts of respect from his team and the fans.Â
