Is this thread really happening?

You can sum up the pro-Thigpen folks thoughts this way:

Pioli is a genius, except in this case. He's an idiot for choosing Croyle/Gutierrez over Thigpen.

Y'all have a serious case of the red ass.

This late in the game? Not a lot of teams want to bring in a raw backup QB. They either want a veteran who can immediately compete for a starting job or they want a veteran backup who can quickly learn the offense and be a safety seal in case the starter gets hurt. Last thing you want is to walk into game 1, get your starter injured, and you're suddenly forced to play a QB who has no idea how to run your offense. Couple that with the fact that these discussions are being made so close to the cut deadline.

I think most teams know if the Chiefs are shopping him around, that they have a lot of negotiating leverage. For the same reason that Cassel could command almost no value in the trade market.

Someone could tell you to "fetch-a Sake".


SAUTO; FETCH-A SAKE!

You cant sum me up any way cause you don't know me.I think who ever plays the best should be the starter,then they guys thats next should be the back up.I would think every team in the league would apply that same logic.They can keep/trade/cut whoever,I'm just tired of watching Brodie spend the whole damn season on the IR.

I sure as shit am not giving Pioli a pass. I think he whiffed big time on the offensive line and wide receiver situation and I've spoken out about it. And I still contend that it was stupid to trade away Gonzalez. And if he keeps Guttierrez over Thigpen, so be it... I just happen to think it will be the absolute wrong decision and I can't help but wonder if it is motivated in some way by croneyism.

We "pro-Thigpen" people are not questioning Pioli at all. The fact that he may be shopping him is fine with me. I am glad that Pioli is holding out for more than a 5th rounder. It only strengthens my opinion of him as a GM. The anti-Thigpen folks here would cut him for nothing. It only weakens my opinion of them.

Pioli/Haley may keep Thigpen as a backup, which is fine with me. If you are going to trade the guy, get better than a 5th round pick, who likely will be lucky to make our practice squad next year.

people like you who cry over thigpen like he were a wounded vet from Iraq make me relish the day his over rated ass gets shipped out of here into obscurity...the radio in kc today was full broken hearts telling us how unfair it was, how great he was, how his stats were the same as real QBs, that he was worth a second, that we should create a special offense for him, and on and on....**** me in the eye socket


Cassel is a real QB. Thigpen is a novelty.

Im pro-whoever is the best player.

ROFL

I hope you are right.

You get those idiots no matter what. I could care less about those people. I care more about making the right decisions for the Chiefs.

He doesn't deserve that kind of ridiculous praise, but that's what you get with a home team--lots of homers. He also doesn't deserve all the hate.

The Chiefs better hurry up and trade Thigpen for a 5th. The Bucs are shopping Leftwich, Mccown, and Johnson.

McCown might be going to Green Bay.

what makes you say that? they have released him? no. they supposedly were offered a 5th and turned it down. obviously they think he's worth something
