The next hanging Chad?

Ok, just wondering. There was a lot, I mean a lot, of hoopla about Favre’s return to the Packers. A lot. Hell, even Greta van Susteren or whatever her name is, “covered” the issue for a week. Yes, she dedicated her nightly show for a full week to Brett Favre. And it was excruciating to watch even a few minutes.

So now the dust has settled, Favre is planting roots in NY and his immediate predecessor there, Chad Pennington, was named the Dolphins starting quarterback today.

Now, I’m not a naysayer, really, and could care less about the Jets and Favre or even the Dolphins/Pennington/Parcells etc. But wouldn’t it be interesting if Pennington posts a higher QB rating than the Hall of Famer Favre?

Here is an interesting tidbit to bolster that potential scenario: according to the Associated Press, “Pennington ranks first in NFL history among quarterbacks with at least 1,500 attempts with a 65.6 completion percentage.”

And he did that with the Jets. Yeah, it’s a stretch for him to come anywhere near that with the Dolphins, but it could happen.

I’m not saying, I’m just saying, know what I’m saying?
