Player Notes
January 7, 2009
Carl Peterson stated that he won't be joining the Dolphins, according to the Associated Press. He has friends within the organization but said, "It’s not going to happen. I need to get away for a while. It’s been 20 years of making decisions every day and I need a rest."

Our View:Peterson resigned on December 15 after a 20-year career as president, GM and CEO of the Chiefs and is a good friend of Stephen M. Ross, who is purchasing the Dolphins. Peterson needs a rest, but does not intend to retire at this time.
January 5, 2009
Dolphins' coach Tony Sparano stated that Chad Pennington will retain his role as the starting quarterback in 2009, according to Sports Illustrated.

Our View:He threw four interceptions in Sunday's disappointing loss to the Ravens, but was the Comeback Player of the Year, and was a contender for the MVP award. It is not surprising that the club intends to trust him as their starter for next season.
January 4, 2009
Chad Pennington won't want to forget the great season he had with the Dolphins, but he'll certainly want to forget the playoff game it led too. He had just one touchdown pass compared to four interceptions. He finished going 25-of-38 for 252 yards.

Our View:Pennington will likely be able to rebound and come back strong again next year. He's won Comeback Player of the Year twice in his career now including this season, so he's certainly shown people that he has the ability to bounce back from adversity.
December 31, 2008
The Associated Press reports that Chad Pennington has won the 2008 NFL Comeback Player of the Year Award, marking the second time in the last three years the Miami quarterback has been bestowed with the honor.

Our View:Pennington first won the award while with the New York Jets in 2006 after recovering from multiple rotator cuff surgeries to lead his team to the playoffs.
December 28, 2008
Chad Pennington completed 22-of-30 passes for 200 yards and two touchdowns in the Dolphins' Week 17 victory.

Our View:A fitting end to the regular season for Miami's efficient quarterback. He finishes the regular season with more than 3,600 yards and a 19/7 TD/INT ratio.
