Chad Pennington Will Start at QB For Miami Dolphins

"We have a lot of confidence in Chad Henne," Sparano told the media. "This guy has gotten a lot better. The decision is done."

A vote of confidence after being demoted? Awesome.

Some had been speculating that Henne was on a short leash, and that Pennington could be serving as a bridge between Henne and third-string quarterback Tyler Thigpen (this guy!).

The move speaks volumes about the future of the quarterback position in Miami. Namely, it's as clusterfucked as ever.

So Pennington, who led the team to an AFC East Championship season two years ago, is back at the helm while their once christened "future franchise quarterback" sits and thinks about what a bad robot he's been.

Keep in mind that Pennington's throwing shoulder is made up of exactly the same stuff they use to make Chinese fortune cookies. So it may not be long before we see the dude who took a picture of himself banging a skeleton running our offense. Fantastic!

• Finally!! After watching in disgust as Chad slid several times last week instead of taking a hit and maybe making a first down, I am happy as a frog in the rain that Pennington will be on board. Sorry Henne's inconsistency and his lack of fortitude are Sparano's gripes - and mine too. Adios Chad.

• At this point, sitting at 4-4 on the year, why not? We obviously can't beat the elite in our conference and Henne seems to be regressing. Hope we see another rise-from-ashes storyline play out over the last half of the season, to include Capt Balls (copyright Chris Joseph) riding out of the new Meadowlands having cockpunched his former team like 2008.
