You tell me, do we give him a couple of years and find out? Do you see this in him to warrant this?

That's where the discussion takes a turn for me.
We're never going to find out what he can do, (at least in KC) because if we take a QB (and we should) there's not going to be a "competition."
You don't pay a guy $40M guaranteed to ride pine, especially when you are rebuilding.
If for some reason we're not in a position to take a QB, then I think the new coaching staff should be focuses on working with him to get him comfortable in a pro-style offense. He's capable, as he showed in the Arizona PS game. We weren't running the spread then, and he did a pretty good job in his half of work.
Regardless, the Tyler Thigpen we all know is dead.
Starter or backup, the new staff is likely going to run a pro-style offense, and he's going to have to adjust.
