Won't happen. Not with this defense. I've said it before and the stats (which are unfortunately the only piece of data we have to go off of guys) bear it out that when Flacco and Ryan and Rothlisberger and any new starter doesn't have a stout defense they don't do so well. This season when Flacco and Ryan have had to put the game on their arm they're a collective 0-8.
If we had Ryan or Flacco this past season I'm not sure we would have won more games or been anywhere near as competitive.
That said (and to the point of this thread), if we take a QB with #3 and let Thigpen have another season to prove himself or cede the job I'm okay with that too.
