Cassel played in more games. Hello?

Um, yeah. That's my point. That's why I'm dividing by the number of games played.

You shouldn't divide.

If Thigpen played the same number of games as Cassel, he'd turn it over more.

End of story.

Tell me Claythan, do you think the Chief's offense is becoming too...commerical?

I read that.

Yes, I said Thigpen turns it over more. I'm not denying that. My point is that they really aren't that dissimilar in turnover ratio, so to call Thigpen any more turnover prone than Cassel is inaccurate.

Two words: PER GAME

Way to miss the point.

It's far too early to determine whether or not the offense is going to be effective. Teicher should know that. It's not even June, bug.

I do think, however, that we're going to miss #88 a lot more than some peeps realize. We've relied on that guy for clutch catches, first downs, and drawing double teams for a whole lot of years. It's going to be like a black hole in the Chiefs passing game. Or, for the more politically correct among us, a hole of indeterminate color.

the last time we lost one of our best players (Jared Allen) the defense went from 13th to 31st.

If Gonzo and Waters are gone, I would expect a similar drop, except we don't have as far to fall this time.

No, you have missed the point.

The statistics bear out that if Thigpen and Cassel threw an equal number of passes, over the course of a season, Thigpen would turn the ball over more.

Sure.

0.0625 more turnovers per game, according to the very small sample size.

In turnovers/pass attempt per game, you can't really get much similar.

I think I understand what you're saying, Mr. MoreLemonPledge. You just need to expand the numbers in order to reach a statistically significant sample.

For example, assuming that both Cassel and Thigpen were to each throw a total of 7,433 passes of between 5 and 50 yards, Cassel would be intercepted 74 times, while Thigpen would be intercepted 4,021 times, run out of bounds 23 times, call timeout 62 times, attempt to punt the football 511 times, and, on 980 occasions, heave the rock left-handed out of the back of the enemy end zone. Correct?

News flash, Arrowhead is a windy stadium.

He played outside in New England. I think he'll be fine. I don't think Arrowhead is that windy, either.

When the Chiefs start stopping the run, I will start worrying about the offense.

When Thigpen has a chance to run the Patriots offense you will be able to compare them more fairly.
