Cassell is Derek Anderson 2.0. In all honesty I'd rather have Thigpen.

Who is to say he will be here and we won't run the spread? I think I tongue twisted that, but you know what I mean.

Thigpen is doing great for the level of competition he had in college, the experience had coming into this season, and the group of players he shares the field with.
He has accounted for 18 TDs this season - last season we had 24 offensive TDs as a team - and he hasn't played the full season. Since the bye week, his QB rating is 86.3 - that's within 1 point of McNabb, Favre, Cassel, and Eli Manning, not to mention that he's put up more rushing yards than any of those 4 playing less games. I'd like to see Thigpen get some more experience under his belt and also see how many wins this team could generate with Brady back, Bowe learning to catch, a RB that can run AND block, and a D that can actually force the other team to punt once in a while. We've been talking about how we want a "Franchise QB" since Green got his bell rung. Tyler is stepping up and playing decently and actually showing potential to be a solid QB and we want someone else. I'm not opposed to drafting, but no way does Thiggy get a fair chance to compete against a QB taken in the top 5 of a draft. I fear we're going to toss another Gannon aside looking for a stud that turns out to be a dud.

I'd like to see Tyler Thigpen display proper footwork and be able to play from under the center.

Most of our players could use some coaching on their footwork, problem is I don't think we have the coaches that can help them.

And you cannot argue that the spread has not helped our O overall. Is it the O of the future? Probably not. But it got us through the rest of the season without having to punt 100 times a game if anything. |

I'm sure it means nothing, but a psychic (Monty on 96.5, who also predicted the NYG to win the SB last year, and the Phillies to win the WS) predicted that TT would have a good NFL career, but not with the KC Chiefs.
Not saying I believe, just saying.

I won't argue the overall offensive point. But what makes you think our line could block with him under center when they couldn't for the other 2?
