Best wishes to Chad Pennigton (career ending injury today)

His shoulder is as soft as glass. I wish they guy well but he should retire.

There are a lot of comparisons being made to him and Matt Stafford, who as we know, will undergo surgery a 3rd time in 2 seasons to repair his torn shoulder.

For What it's worth, everyone says that Stafford's shoulder injuries were more severe than pennington, who out of 3 surgeries (4th on the way), had his labrum repaired only twice for a partial tear. Stafford they say has suffered a complete tear each time...

Sad for both guys really...

Heard it could be a career ending injury for Pennington. He's a resilient guy, wouldn't shock me to see him try to come back.

Sadly, he had just entered into the incentive part of his contract, being that he was named Miami's starter. The two plays that he lasted as starter, he got paid 3 million dollars for each snap.

He's obviously done for the year, but i wonder if they try to get back any money in the form of an injury settlement or something.

He got $3 million (3.25 actually) for both snaps, not each one. Still, not bad

Yeah not bad at all. I would take a couple of snaps vs the '85 Bears for that loot!

Yeah me to just give me the '91 HOGS for my OL. Enjoy retirement Chad, he's a smart guy he'll get an analyst job on some TV channel.

I always liked Chad Pennington. Very accurate, great intangibles. Towards the end there he couldn't throw a ball through a wet paper towel, but he had a very respectable career and won a lot of football games as a starter.

He said after his last surgery he was very close to retiring. I can't imagine he'll try yet another comeback. I think he'd be a good offensive coach in the league.

Yeah. I think his mind wants him to still play, obviously, but he just can't physically do it anymore. His arm can survive a game of catch with his kids, but not what is required of a quarterback, even a backup.

I would say if he still loves the game, then bring him back as a 3rd QB for the fins, so he could be like a player-coach, but i doubt his arm would even survive practice after a 4th major surgery...

Apparently the Dolphins are looking at hiring Ramsey to add some depth

The 8th time is the charm! Ramsey will be Miami's quarterback of the future!
