Broncos start 3-0 baby! Never would have expected that to happen after 49% of their roster got dumped for a bunch of free agents and rookies!
Post back after week 6 and we will see if Denver is for real or not ;)Quote:

He completely blew his knee up 3 times and missed 3 whole seasons of his career, but somehow kept coming back. He is very explosive and a pretty good receiver too. He probably would have started over westbrook if he never hurt himself the first time. We did not use him much because Andy Reid overuses westbrook and wears him out, but everytime he did get on the field he made huge plays. I hope he has a great season.Quote:

I wonder if Pennington can come back again. Logic would say no, but he has done it twice before, each time winning comeback player of the year.
Hes already been ruled done for the year.Quote:

'Phins are done for the season. Not because they are 3-0, but because he's out. I thought that they legitimately had a chance to win the last two games. Ted Ginn blew it in the Indy game dropping the game winning TD.
I think I heard him say somewhere it was hurt on the hit, not the fall. May have just been an awkward angle or freak thing. Sucks, he worked really hard twice before to come back and play pretty good, especially last year.Quote:

I had heard that after the knee joint, the shoulder joint was the weakest part of the human body.
The guys arm was reportedly weak coming out of college. Then repeated injury to it? The guy has miraculously comeback time and time again. But there has to be a limit on the damage that that should can sustain.
I think that his last year was testimony to his smarts and ability to read a defence.
It's a shame Pennington has gotten so unlucky with his career. If not for the injuries I get he would have had an outstanding NFL career. And not because of his arm but because of his knowledge of the game. He never complained (for what I know of) and never blamed anyone for losing games. His style was great ever since he joined the NFL I have always been a fan of him. What a shame.
