Sounds like the same interview he gave the week he was hired.

Barret · 03-23-2009, 03:37 PM

I thought something else was a little interesting:

- QB will be open competition, may acquire more folks to compete

May acquire more folks to compete?? huh??

The week pioli was hired he said they'd draft a qb every year.

Said he told him, "this is truly an open competition and the best QB will start" and Thigpen has a lot of upside and could win the job

I'm soooooo glad there is no more Brodie Croyle

talk this year. Man, what a difference a year makes!

**Kyle DeLexus** · 03-23-2009, 04:14 PM

Yep he would be. Too many fans are concerned with W-L record next year. You've got to get all the pieces to the puzzle before you worry about that. Who knows if some of the picks from last years draft will even work in the new D, so it's almost like we are starting over again. Making sure you have the right QB is a big piece to the puzzle.

It's the smart thing to do for a 2-14 team. Competition at ALL positions, not just handing people jobs like Herm did. Remember, Cassel is still a guy who has done it for one year, and with another team. You've got guys on the Chiefs, like Bowe and Gonzo, who probably have Thigpen's back. So it is better if you A) Make Cassel come in to earn the position so he doesn't rest on his laurels from last year, and B) Give Thigpen the opportunity to win his job, and if he doesn't, the vets can't grumble about it. If he is the better QB, then let him start. C) As many have mentioned, if they are serious about extending Cassel, it probably isn't going to be for a franchise salary that his agent is looking for.

Personally, I like this attitude that no position is safe and that competition will be brought in to take your job, so you better be ready to fight for it. Now let's hope they really follow that philosophy and it isn't just words...

I agree.

you don't trade the 34th pick in the draft for a backup...

surely that requires no explanation....

If Cassell can't win the starting job from Thigpen then he should be the backup. The best players should start at all positions.

If Cassel can't win the starting job from Thigpen we just traded a 2nd round pick for a complete piece of shit.
