Seriously though, Thigpen makes bad reads, is constantly over or under throwing his receivers (and I'm talking about the last couple of games last season, where this situation was downright embarrassing), leads his primary receiver way too much, doesn't have a good touch on his passes and is quite inaccurate on the deep passes (the two that he threw). I'd like to have a guy like Thigpen as the thrid QB - maybe. Use him as a fourth wideout, the snap holder on field goals, extra points, etc., but he has not shown the capability of being a starting QB in the NFL.

He got cut by Minnesota for Christs sake! Minnesota! And the Chiefs start him! And (some of) the fans truly want him back as our QB! Don't you tell me that we don't need a goddamn quarterback with our first pick! Other than Detroit, there isn't a team in the NFL that doesn't need a quarterback more than the Chiefs. On every conceivable level we need a quarterback.

Trent Green was cut, so was Warner, Brunell, Hasslebeck, and the list goes on.

Just because one person doesn't work out one place doesn't mean he can't succeed at another.
