Favre is exactly who you don't want in a rebuilding effort. Pennington can accellerate the effort more than Josh McCown would. He's not high profile enough to block Chad Henne's development. Favre seems to block everyones development.

The other thing, is that Pennington came free of picks and at a price the Dolphins set. Favre would have cost a pick, and Parcells likely didn't want to deal with the sideshow. He never does.
