In the battle to be Miami's backup quarterback behind Chad Henne, Chad Pennington clearly has an experience edge over Tyler Thigpen and Pat White. But the coaches, and possibly Pennington's surgically repaired throwing shoulder, won't even let him enter this position battle.

According to coach Tony Sparano, this contest is between his two young arms. Thigpen, who started in Kansas City, has an experience edge over White. He also has a tendency to make things happen through improvisation. White, who struggled with his accuracy last season, has shown some improvement during the offseason. But will it carry over into camp and the exhibition season? White's bigger and stronger this season, but still has a ways to go before he proves he's an NFL quarterback.

Robert Weintraub of Football Outsiders provides his look at the position: “Our game charters noted only 15 percent of Palmer’s throws as “deep” or “bomb.”

By contrast, noodle-armed Chad Pennington threw 19 percent of his balls deep or bomb in 2008 in a similar scheme. Palmer threw long 23 percent of the time in 2007. He saved his best play for clutch situations, as though recognizing that his arm had only so many throws in it.

Besides the comebacks, his third/fourth down efficiency was superb, 26.0 percent DVOA, and was even better in the red zone (51.3 percent DVOA). On the other hand, he tied for the league lead (with Brett Favre) in penalties for QBs with 11 — mostly delay of game calls. Our projections see a slight decrease in completion percentage, and an uptick in interceptions.

The depth behind Palmer is worrying. J.T. O’Sullivan is a sub-replacement level backup and Jordan Palmer’s main contribution to the team are his iPhone apps.”

Can the Dolphins really carry four quarterbacks?

Considering Chad Pennington, who is still recovering from shoulder surgery, rarely threw a pass during minicamp and OTA sessions, writer Omar Kelly sees no reason why he can’t be stashed on the PUP for the first couple months of the season.

Chad Henne is clearly the starter, and is exerting himself as a team leader. Tyler Thigpen has the edge on Pat White for the backup role.

QB Chad Pennington Remains A Spectator

With the emergence of Chad Henne as Miami's starting quarterback, former starter Chad Pennington is taking on the role of mentor while he rehabs a shoulder injury. And Pennington is fine with that.

“I’m actually really OK with that,” Pennington said. "I know what we’re trying to get accomplished here as a team. I appreciate that perspective to where I don’t have to throw myself in the fire in May."

Pennington is hoping his shoulder will be in good shape when training camp rolls around. Right now, Miami head coach Tony Sparano is aiming to limit him to 40-55 passes per practice.

"Things really get heated up in August and that’s when I want to be at my best," Pennington said. "It would be crazy for us to come out here and do something to jeopardize that."

Fantasy Impact:

Pennington has never been an elite fantasy quarterback and no longer warrants a place on fantasy rosters.
