That being said, Mecca, I would also argue "why are there so many so fixated on wanting Thigpen to fail?" There is just as big of a contingency of fans who want Thigpen cut or who believe he is nothing better than a #3 QB, given the season he had last year.
My pet peeve is not people who want to draft a QB. It's those who want to guarantee a starting job to a QB taken in the top 5, and who have doomed Thigpen to failure before he has had a full shot to prove himself and will use every last excuse to justify why he's a lousy QB. That's where most of the frustration, at least on this board, seems to come from.

I also think the first sentence of this thread is funny.
Why did you think the Thigpen support would be more than it is, Mecca? Is it because he played well enough to where even you would be able to understand if people on this board were supporters of him going into next year as QB?
