What's with the Thigpen fixation?

The number crunching has been the evidence to prove that you have the best odds of finding a franchise QB early in the draft. Period.

Whether or not Thigpen is a franchise QB isn't worth discussing, IMO.

Now, I can agree that the best odds of finding a franchise QB is to use first round picks to get one. However, the question for Chiefs fans (and Pioli, of course) is whether or not any quarterback that will be available at #3 in this year's draft is going to be that franchise quarterback. If you think the answer is "yes", you draft the quarterback. However, if you think the answer is "no", you draft another position. Taking a quarterback at #3 just because you're there is something a Matt Millen would do.

Frankly, I'm stunned that people here actually attack others for having such an obvious position.
