The Pat White situation needs to be resolved soon, because he’s taking away reps from the other quarterbacks: It’s not that Chad Henne isn’t getting enough opportunities in practice, but with four quarterbacks in camp, Chad Pennington and Tyler Thigpen aren’t getting as many at-bats as they should to help them prepare should they be called on to play.
White’s play in training camp has bordered on awful. Tuesday, he overthrew Taurus Johnson on a 20-yard pass in which there was no defense. He skipped the first day of camp with “personal issues,” and clearly isn’t in the Dolphins’ long-term plans, following a terrible rookie season and second shaky training camp. The Dolphins would be best served cutting bait with White sooner rather than later, so the other quarterbacks can take more reps in practice.
