The 100 posts would be from fans of the other team wondering if their GM was sane.

No, better to keep a "traditional, pro style" QB than no one wants, and will never amount to anything because of "durability" concerns, then keep a wild card QB that knows only how to score points ... but does it in an "ugly" way.

Better to keep Grbac than Gannon. Same logic. Yeah yeah yeah, Gannon had better accuracy, but is it impossible to see improvement from TT in that department. I don't think so.

Croyle fits what Haley wants to do. Thigpen changes the offense. Ability is not all that makes Croyle the #2 as of now.

IIRC most of the QBs who tend to be flash-in-the-pans are the Volek types who have a good game or two. As you said, though, one good year is a different story. I think Cassel showed enough last season to be considered for real.

And what would have been a better choice? While I'm new here, it seems like you guys had a debate here about Sanchez. Personally, I can't see throwing huge money at a rookie QB who might turn out to be a bust. Their deals are almost identical (Cassel's is one year longer and ends up being $500k more per year) but at least Cassel showed some poise in actual NFL games.

If Cassel is out they're ****ed anyway. Thigpen MAY win you a game or two. But it puts what Haley wants to establish in the trash can.

I know,I'm scared to throw that kind of money at a rookie too,but I'm just not ready to sacrifice my children at the alter of Cassel yet.::mad:

Well Haley is the key to me anyway.I think he will keep who fits best and that's fine,that's what he is supposed to do.

With such a strong offensive back ground. I would imagine what he wants to do is pretty much set in concrete. I just don't see Thigpen fitting.

Of the 32 qualifying quarterbacks, Thigpen was ahead of only Anderson, Fitzpatrick, Bulger, Orlovsky and Frerotte in passer rating.

Again, he was a first year starter on a horrible team with no offensive line.

"I like Tyler Thigpen. I’m not afraid to admit it, and I know some savvy NFL scouts/executives who value him, too."

But... but... everybody on CP said that nobody outside of KC gives a shit about him and that no scout outside of KC thinks he's any good and that he'll be out of the NFL and playing in the CFL in a couple of years.

Could it be that... gasp... Tyler Thigpen isn't the antichrist after all?

Pollard sucks, but Thigpen should stay? You're slippin' brah, slippin' hard.

Here's MY case for Thigpen:

Define value.

I've yet to see anyone offer something of value, and the one team that is supposedly interested is balking at giving anything of real value.
