I have grown very fond of Tyler Thigpen. Maybe just "homer syndrome." What do you guys think?

thiggy earned it..of not for our D letting the teams score over 21pts a game thiggy would have gotten us in the playoffs and with a 12-4 record at that!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good in theory, but who? The best FA QBs are Losman and Garcia. And both are mediocre at best.

Why would we bother to do that? Huard's at the end of his career. Croyle is very obviously not an NFL starter. Gray and Martin?!?!?!? Really?

Thigpen is the only one of that bunch who has even the slightest shot of being a long-term starter for us or any NFL team.

Hell, I woudn't mind taking the other four behind a barn and euthenizing them, just to avoid the appearance of a QB controversy

HAHA!!! I agree Thig is the only one on our roster that should be considered our starter for next season.
No on Croyle and Huard for the reasons you stated. Don't know anything about Martin. Somebody sees something in him as we just re-signed him.
Keep those two and flush everybody else...
