Question for panther fans

[Henne Given Sunday]

k....dont burn me for this. but i wanted to get your opinions on something.

3600+ yards 19 tds 7 int 97 qb rating

thats chad penningtons numbers last year....he was comeback player of the year. and runner up to the mvp award. leading the dolphins from 1-15 to 11-5 and afc east champions. with no WRs worth speaking about......and imo a running game juuusssttt slightly below yours.

he hurt his shoulder but was reported it was not as bad as originally thought. he had surgery and wants to play again next year. 2009 is the last year of his current contract.

he wont sign back with miami and backup his former backup (henne) so i guess he will want to start.

my question to you.....would you take a guy like this on the panthers next year? hes accurate, doesnt make turnovers, efficent, and has great accuracy on middle length throws....but has a below average strength arm (which obviously doesnt stop him from throwing for almost 4k yards and 20 tds with horrible wrs)

what are your opinions on this? he'd probably come cheap due to how this season played out.......

Pennington is done. I don't think he's going to get any interest at all. Plus, if we're going to bring someone in to compete with Moore, then I'd prefer it to be someone young that could possibly be a long term starter, instead of putting us in the same position we're in now in another year or two.

[scpanther22]

I dont think Pennington fits the offense.

But I wonder how he would do in the WCO?

[unicar15]

Matt Moore has a healthy shoulder, stronger arm, and younger body. He doesn't know the game as well as Pennington but with more experience is going to get better. If Pennington wanted to come in and back him up for cheap and then if things went south could come in...yeah I'd want to sign him. But if he wants to come in and demand a starting job, I'd rather just keep McCown.

As long as Matt Moore doesn't go out against the Saints and sling a Jake Delhomme type game then he will be the leader going into training camp and there will be no purpose in signing Pennington.

..Why would we sign an egg, when he have Matt Moore, probably Jake, and our draft pick???..we're not the Raiders..or the Browns lol

[Kyle82]

I'm always leery of signing a veteran that has been injured.

[MVP23]

He is a good QB, and someone will pick him up..but not us hopefully..

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I like Pennington, but any quarterback with a previous injury is not welcome on the Panthers roster.

Of course besides the one that is already there.

[SMACKDAB]

He has multiple shoulder injuries. Had that not been the case, then sure, but now.....no thanks.

We've gone through enough with Jake and one surgery. We don't need someone that has had multiple surgeries, even at his age.

That's not a bad idea. However we already have FOUR QBs on the roster (Delhomme & McCown on IR, Moore starting & Feeley as back-up) so I'm thinking Moore will be our starter for next year with Delhomme as the back up. What we really need are WR & DE, maybe another DT

[OneBadassCat]

If we didn't have Moore I would pick him up but no thanks.

[Henne Given Sunday]

thanks for the responses guys.....just wondering your thoughts on it.

[guyinchesapeake]

No to Pennington. His injury history just makes him too risky, and if signing him means guaranteeing him to be the starter, no thanks. Matt Moore has earned the starters job in my opinion, it's more of a matter of seeing who will back HIM up. We don't have a 1st round pick until after the 2010 season anyways, so we should see how Moore develops next year, then re-evaluate if we have to. Pennington did some good things for Miami, no doubt, but his future lies elsewhere, not here, and certainly not as the guaranteed starter.

[Jangler]

No Pennington!

And did you know?

Matt Moore doesn't drink honey, he chews bees.

Now you do.
