(No, I'm not saying that's what he is, I'm saying that's the best case scenario...)

But, either way, he's not a franchise quarterback. I don't think you build a team around Tyler Thigpen, or hand him a 100 million dollar contract, or make him the face of the Chiefs.

I think the whole idea of Thigpen as QBotF is the same kind of fascination that had people rooting for Mike Maslowski as a linebacker or Marc Boerigter as a receiver. It's the attraction to the underdog story.
