You intend for that to happen, but there have been just as many busts at this position as there have been successful QB's, and I'd say probably more busts to be honest.

Pulling someone off of waivers and being a former 7th rd pick, doesn't exactly fit the definition of a franchise QB.

But Brady was a 6th rd pick, Cassell was a 7th rd pick, not saying it can't happen, but Thigpen is also more athletic than both of those guys and has shown that he can make plays with his legs.

Let him continue to groom and see if he gets better. He played well enough at times last season to win games.

I just dont think this is the year to take a QB with a #3 pick. I liked Matt Ryan last season, I thought he was worthy of top 5 pick. Stafford and Sanchez not so much, esp Sanchez. I wouldnt be pissed if Stafford was our choice, but I would be down right livid pissed off if we gamble on Sanchez.

So if you're Pioli/Haley, you're willing to risk your career on Thigpen then?
