"The Miami Dolphins made it official: Chad Pennington is out for the season. Pennington was placed on the reserve-injured list to create a roster spot for quarterback Tyler Thigpen, acquired Tuesday from the Kansas City Chiefs for an undisclosed draft pick. Pennington likely face a third operation on his right shoulder since 2005. He was hurt in a loss Sunday at San Diego that left Miami at 0-3. Thigpen shores up depth behind second-year pro Chad Henne, who is expected to make his first NFL start Sunday against Buffalo. Rookie Pat White is the Dolphins' other quarterback. Thigpen, a third-year pro, started 11 games for the woeful Chiefs last year and threw for 2,608 yards with 18 touchdowns and 12 interceptions (Sportsline)."
Great move by the Dolphins. Most likely they are only giving up a 6th or 7th round draft pick. Let me tell you this kid Thigpen is the real deal. He is better then Pennington and Henne. It will obviously take a couple weeks to get him up to speed, but I would not be surprised in the least if this guy is the starting QB by the end of the season and maybe even going into next season.
