He still got some playing time and you would be foolish to think he didn't get any snaps in practice either. He has far more experience running a Pro Style offense than Thigpen does. Cassel also had better NFL coaching than Thigpen has received so far too.

Hey, you don't have to sell me on Cassel... I liked the move a good bit.
I agree that right now, Cassel is much more equipped to go under center. I agree that right now, Cassel is more ready than Thigpen to start for this team.
I just think that he will be running the spread a lot this year, and I know he ran it a lot last year... and had his best success in it.
