They, along with just about everyone, were dead wrong about him and the Dolphins. Miami has a good shot to be 10-6 at the end of the year. If anyone says they saw that at the beginning of the season, they're lying.

I didn't see them as a 10-6 team but did think they'd be 6-10 to 7-9 with the addition of Pennington and thought that addition took them from a guaranteed 2-0 for the Bills and Jets against them to a likely 1-1. Throwing a game away is never smart in a league this competitive. They could have traded him for a conditional 7th rounder to a team that needed a backup. I'm sure Dallas wishes they'd done that at this point.
