You realize Colt brennan is Tyler thigpen, except from a bigger school and a higher draft round, right? Both spread QBs who run around and make plays, yet aren't the best in traditional offenses.

And brady Quinn? The same brady quinn who played two games and went on IR? The Chiefs have Brokie, and he costs millions less.

Oh, and Cassel played out of the spread for most of the year in new england, and for teh first half of his tenure as starter, he couldn't even get it in Moss' area code. Will he be bringing randy with him to KC to bail him out? What about Welker, is he coming too?

Not that your post is completely without merit; if McNabb came available, the chiefs would be foolish not to try and grab him.

KK never impressed me as much of a player evaluator. Still remember the Joe Horn situation...

I like Thigpen. If he works on his game I think we can win a lot of games with him. But for those who want to draft a QB worthy of a high pick I've got no problem with that either. Would love to see a situation like the Chargers had few years back with Brees finally coming into his own with a line/receivers/defense while Rivers waited in the wings.

The Giants are a great model to follow if you ask me.

When they were at their worst they started with QB's.

A badass D-coordinator and a good head coach will do that for you.

I don't think the Giants front office necessarily did it right. Yeah, they won a SB and I guess that's what counts, but would you really make that trade again? Those are arguably the 3 best players at their position in the game right now (though it's a stretch for Rivers, he did lead the league in passer rating with a hobbled running game this season).

I agree with taking a high QB when the opportunity is afforded, but I don't think the Giants went about getting theirs correctly.
