I guess the only real question left is will Pioli be using the metal or plastic spatula to flip Matt "The Pancake" Cassel? Decisions, decisions...

if Cassell can't win the starting job from Thigpen you don't make the trade.

They had to trade for for Cassell because we couldn't have Thigpen as our only option at QB. If Thigpen thinks he has a chance at the starting position he will work harder to be a good backup, that he will be, if needed.

You don't have to spend a day 1 pick if all you're looking for is competition for your third stringer. That's what free agency is for, and any warm body would do.

If we wanted to have some competition in the QB slot then we would Pick Stafford at the #3 spot and saved our 2nd round pick. Even then Stafford or even Sanchez would have been starting by week 5 over Thigpen. |

No, you don't have to make a trade. Any street free agent would be competition for your third stringer. The towel boy would be competition for your third stringer. A tackling dummy would be competition for your third stringer. It doesn't take the 34th pick of the draft. You spend that when you're looking for more.

Should Cassel beat out Thigpen? Absolutely. Is it possible that Thigpen pulls something out of his ass and beats out Cassel? Yes. It's possible. Is it likely? No.
Pioli doesn't decide who starts. Haley does. So, the fact that Pioli traded for his guy doesn't mean much. Keep in mind that Cassel only threw 3 more TD's than Thigpen in 96 more attempts with better receivers. Cassel in New England was obviously better than Thigpen in KC. But, Cassel in KC may be a lot closer to Thigpen's level. |

To me, an "improved Thigpen" would be a Thigpen throwing to more than one receiver, and hitting that receiver in the numbers instead of the shins or balls.
