As far as Farve, Pennington, and the Dolphins are concerned.
1. One of the main factors in completing a Farve trade was Farves willingness to be traded to the team involved in a trade with the Packers. A team like the Dolphins who are now in complete rebuilding mode is not something Farve would have agreed to.
2. The Dolphins have lots of cap room and Pennington can still play quality football. I mean the guy came out of last year with an 86.1 QB rating last year and in a very scarce QB market (which includes QB's already on rosters) theres a premnium on decent QB play.
3. Miami is not like New York in terms of wind speed, with the exception of hurricane season.
I will say Pennington is no longer a pro bowl QB but for a team like the Dolphins I think he's a very good fit. In fact I think an accurate QB like Pennington is perfect for taking advantage of the YAC ability that a reciever like Ginn comes with. I will also say though that he's better then Josh McCown (who somehow always seems to find a job) and it'll give Chad Henne time to develop. Dis r low rick hi rewards.
