QB Pat White Has Work To Do Before Dolphins' Caution Lifts

The Dolphins were disappointed by Pat White's erratic accuracy this summer, and though he has gotten better, White said more improvement is needed. Beyond that, the Dolphins say they want to be cautious with White after Chad Pennington's injury. "I maybe at the beginning of the summer thought I might have a little different use for him, a little more,'' coach Tony Sparano said Monday. "The reason why his snap count is down is because he is the next quarterback. Our quarterback got sacked six times [Sunday], so you could be the next one really fast if you keep that stuff up. We are picking and choosing closely what we want Pat to do.'' The Dolphins still believe he has a strong upside as a change-of-pace option. In practice, "he's gotten a lot better and his ball has gotten tighter, there are fewer [overthrows], he's settling down,'' cornerback Nate Jones said. "My accuracy has gotten better, but it's not where it needs to be,'' White said.

yep, right after the draft, sparano and fat bastard were going on and on about how great pat white was going to be in the nfl but then when they actually started working with him, they shut their mouths real fast. then the trade for thigpen pretty much told everyone that they weren't as confident in white being on the field as they first thought.
