He actually makes a pretty convincing case.
I don't think Thigpen will ever challenge Manning or Brady in the record books. But I also don't think Thigpen is as bad as he looked to you guys, or as bad as some of you think.
Is he a starter? Probably not. Can he carry a team? No, unless they're very talented. Does he have the potential to be a very solid #2? I think so. Some players are late bloomers (like Cassel).
I still don't think Haley trades him. Whether he's called the backup or the #3 QB, you're probably not gonna do much better for that position and can do a whole lot worse.
