I don't give a rat's ass if it was the first time he'd ever picked up a football. That's just an attempt at making excuses when it comes to the assertion that was made:

3rd worst of those who qualified. The poster, KCDC, was talking out of his ass.

Easy now I never said Pollard sucks.I only said Id bet on LJ out lasing Pollard in KC.As far as Thigpen goes they can deal him if they like,thats fine,but getting rid of him doesnt make us SB ready.Everyone seems to think he stopped of from going 16-0 last year.

And the butthurt continue from the folks that thought Thigpen was the clear cut #2 coming into camp.

I didn't make the point. La Canfora did. He was a writer for the Washington Post and now works for the NFL Network, so he has his share of contacts. Not saying it's perfectly credible information, but it goes against the ridiculous idea that so many on this board claim that he will never be a good NFL player and that no teams think he's worth a shit.

LMAO But...but...it's THIGGY!

Hopefully Cassel will stay healthy and play well and we wont have to address the issue of who his back up is.

someone could say this about you and the cassel situation also

The argument everyone is making is that he doesn't deserve a shot on this roster and that he'll be out of the NFL in a few years because he has no talent. Don't swerve the thread.

I don't think anyone is making that argument.

He's a fine backup.

The problems arise when reeruns write stat-based articles lauding him as some kind of potential long-term starter.

Oh shit you said he's a fine back up!!!!! Look out!!!!

The Kansas City Chiefs apparently don't think he's worth a shit, and IMO, neither do other teams, seeing as how nothing better than a 5th round pick has been offered.

If Thigpen wad the player you claim he is, teams would be fighting over his services. But that's not the case.

I don't think there are many "pro Thigpen" people out there saying he should be a starter either. Most just want to see him develop on the bench and see what comes of him.

But go to any Thigpen thread. 90% of the posters say they can't wait for him to be gone. Many of them say that no GM thinks he's any good and some of them say he doesn't deserve to be in an NFL uniform. Almost all of them are saying that a GM is stupid to trade any kind of pick for Thigpen. Basically, almost all the posts say he's garbage and he always will be, and there is no chance he will ever be better than garbage.

I don't know why it came to people despising the man, but it has. And that's a shame.

Probably because there are drooling morons who pimp him at every chance. There are LITERALLY people around here who think Thigpen deserves more of a chance to be the starter.

That gets really tiresome. We're supposed to be moving on from half-baked shit. We have a real quarterback, just STFU about the guy warming the bench.

You could, but as usual, you'd be full of shit.

Once they passed on Sanchez, I was over it. I still don't think Cassel will become a true franchise QB, but he's ours now - so I hope like he'll I'm wrong.

He got his shot and apparently whiffed.

It's funny that so many have given Pioli a pass so far, but are implying he's an idiot for choosing Croyle and Gutierrez over him.
