Croyle or Thigpen?

PFT:

With the Chiefs using zero of their 12 draft picks on quarterbacks, many presumed that Brodie Croyle would continue as the starter, at least for 2008.

Enter Tyler Thigpen.

Thigpen, a seventh-round pick of the Vikings in 2007 whom coach Brad Childress thought he could slip through waivers and sign to the practice squad before the Chiefs pounced, could challenge Croyle. Not next year, but right now.

Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that the Chiefs believe that Thigpen could topple Croyle for the starting job in 2008.

Thigpen last played on a regular basis at Coastal Carolina, which we didn’t realize even had a football program.

Tyler Thigpen-QB-Chiefs May. 6 - 6:20 pm et

NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports that Tyler Thigpen has been impressive enough in minicamps to make the Chiefs think he could compete for a starting job.

Thigpen made the Chiefs as the emergency quarterback and was 2-for-6 with an interception in his only game last season before getting injured in practice. He's is facing long odds, but if Brodie Croyle struggles and the Chiefs are out of contention, they could give him a look.

Croyle or Thigpen

...Yes.

I liked what I little I was able to see of him last year. I hope he gets a shot to compete for the spot. Croyle needs that. I don't care what Curl thinks.

Agreed!

ban wagoners... geez guys Brodie isn't the problem. he has one of the best if not the best arms in football. And he is smart. The o-line sucked and LJ is a quiter!!!

[rbedgood]

The guy has to be pretty smart...figure he has that "aw shucks" Wally Cleaver kinda look and he grabbed one of the top 10 best looking NFL wives...He's gotta have a brain in there somewhere.

I voted for Brodie and Tyler, I hope the competition is tight and ends with one of these, the starter, the other #2, Let the best QB for us win the job!
However what a story that will make if Tyler wins and succeeds with the Chiefs and in the NFL!
