Thread: Scratch One Potential Quarterback Option For Vikes

Pennington's career was thought to be over after his fourth shoulder surgery last year but he later said he would attempt a comeback in 2011. The Dolphins quarterback, who is not under contract for 2011, suffered an injury during a pickup basketball game that will require ACL surgery, according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen.

Scratch One Potential Quarterback Option For The Minnesota Vikings
LOL, I never considered him an option this year, however, I know of a few on here who still like the cat.

He is the type of guy the Vikings and especially Chilly would have signed.

_Injury history
_past his prime
_not a long term solution.


Pretty much textbook for the club if you ask me.

Better than who we have. As a backup, I wouldn't mind him, but definitely not a guy to rely on going forward.

Wasn't on my list...

Never did understand why there are a few who feel that way. As PF said, lots of issues, mostly related to his arm and injuries.

But he's one of the more accurate guys in the league and can read defenses. Having him as a pure veteran backup role, and let him play about as much as Sage was used could be beneficial to a young guy we bring in.

He's not going to go out there and win games for us, but I think he could be an excellent player-coach for the QB's.

You mean THE most accurate passer... of all time. Its a shame that his shoulders were made from refurbished chandelier parts. In his prime he reminded me of a Montana type who succeeded despite not having the most athletic attributes. Smart, accurate QB who didn't put his team in bad posistions. Sort of Brees-like prior striking gold with NO and Sean Payton.

Kinda sounds like a guy who could have won with our team over the past 4 years if he could stay health. But like Doc says, "If my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle".

I wish him the best in his recovery (at age 38 i just had my ACL replaced, joyous fun.)

Because, at this point.. Prior to his latest injury.. I woulda took him over Patrick Ramsey and Rhett Bohmar any frickin day :sick:
