What's with the Thigpen fixation?

I think it's kind of a pointless argument. They're completely different style quarterbacks. Roethlisberger's still more in the game-manager mold (although less than in the past with no real running game), whereas Brees is the central cog of that offense. I'd say Brees would fit the Steelers system about as well as Roethlisberger would fit the Saints, in other words. Both teams would have to fundamentally change what they do to fit the other behind center.

Either way, in the end, they're still both franchise quarterbacks. And Tyler Thigpen isn't either one of them.
