bonedawg Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 Pennington is done in Miami after Henne took the reigns. Mangini and Pennington had a great relationship. I can certainly see an scenario where BQ is traded to whatever team wants to take on that project, Pennington is brought in and DA serves as back-up. I know it isn't a sexy move by any means, but if I put myself in Mangini's mind, I can totally see him wanting to pull that off. ...that is if mangini is even around next year.

steel88 Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Quinn has shown improvement he will be the starting QB next season...pennington would be great to have as a backup though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mangini WILL be here next year and hopefully Pennington won't...the man is a china doll...injured year after year. No thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpolen4 Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 ya good point i wasnt thinkin when i said "Duke it out" i guess im just saying i could see him coming here but he cant stay healthy so idk if it would be worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedyd900rr Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 If BQ keeps progressing I say give him another year. If it were up to me the only way I would let him go after this season is if he doesn't get better or a proven winner is willing to sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you give Mangini his due, or will it be same old same old until he has us at the top of the division? Even if Mangini led us to an undefeated season and a Super Bowl victory next year, Gips would complain that the margin of victory wasn't large enough in each game.

bonedawg Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 I'm not saying that I advocate this move. I am just saying that it is very plausible. Does anyone here think Mangini is looking for the next big time passer? Hell no, he is looking for a QB to move the ball, not turn it over, and someone he can trust. Pennington has all three. I don't think we should throw away BQ either (or think he is some savior), i just see Mangini pulling that trigger. BQ may have some trade value, DA does not.

thedawgs Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 da salary and bonus next year come in somewhere around 10 mllion ,7.5 mill. salary ,quinns salary next year aroud 700 thousand ,do the math ,7.5 mill.versus 700 thousand ,i don't think da played 10 times better than quinn if at all..

The Gipper Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 What Pennington could be would be like the third string QB and mentor. Kind of a Gary Danielson role. For next year's roster I could see BQ as starter, then Ratliff as backup, and Pennington at #3...in that semi-QB coach role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for this purpose we were all ignoring the financial implications and just dealing with the on field situation. Of course, in reality that cannot be done. If Pennington is supposed to be given a 7.5 mill. salary next year, obviously, he ain't coming here. Unless he is cut by the Dolphins. Then I understand the Browns can pick him up at whatever price they can negotiate. No guaranteed contracts you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrownIndian Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Wasnt Mangini the guy who benched Pennington in favor of Clemens during his tenure with the Jets and then allowed Pennington to leave and then got Favre ? If that was in 07 why would Mangini want Pennington back in '10 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mopaji Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Mangini doesn't just bring in Jets guys for the hell of it. He brought in guys that had an immediate role on the team. Even with that, its not impossible to think that if Brady goes back to being the Brady from his first 2-3/4 years in the league, they'll want to bring in a solid veteran that can start on day one. If Brady keeps getting better, which I hope he does, than noway Mr. Pennington! Side note, I did hear that Locker is not entering the draft this year which tells me that there is no QB coming out worth a 1st day selection. Sorry McCoy. BRING BE BERRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JoeSixPat Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Pennington may be fragile but when healthy he's better than Quinn or Anderson. I'd see no downside to bringing him in as a backup QB (given his recovery from injury) and letting the chips fall where they may in terms of competition. At the very least he'd be one of the better backups in the league if needed - i.e. one isn't counting on Pennington to play a full season anyway). There's really no downside unless you're concerned about harming Quinn's confidence level - and I think Mangini's already destroyed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl34 Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 I am going to agree with Joe SixPat (braces for lightning to strike) in that Pennington, when healthy, is better than BQ or DA. That said, I don't think it's a good idea. He's had two surgical repairs of his throwing shoulder BEFORE this injury and he wasn't throwing lasers to begin with. The joke in NY was that you had to worry about the ball being batted down by rain drops. Nonetheless, when healthy he is highly accurate, doesn't turn over the football much and is very smart. On the flip side, he's very immobile and he's good for one turnover if behind because he's trying to make too much happen. If we sign Pennington, consider that you'll see eight men in the box all day and every defender squatting the 10 yard-and-under routes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mastadave99999 Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 This is literally Retarded. Its not like hes diminishing when was he really any good? Plus he is injury prone... Lets get someone who has promise behind him. To be good we have to take chances on potential stars, not some scrub... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosar_For_President Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Thumbs down to Pennington but i say lets bring in Mike Vick... Yea Vick on the Dawgs. That will work As much as I like Pennington, dude is glass. He's accurate as shit, but dude is too old to build a team around. NO WAY! Keep Quinn and draft.

dj_illness Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 i like Pennington as a stop-gap or a back up, if we can get him cheap (i believe he'll be cut by Miami). it's a ballsy move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
