With Minnesota hurting for a QB. What kind of trade could we get for Thigpen, and would it be worth it.

And just because CP made lousy 4th round picks doesn't mean every Chiefs GM will. I mean, it's a little early to be judging the Washington pick, ya think.

I guess I'm one the few that actually thinks that Thigpen could actually lead this team to some success. I wouldn't trade him unless it was for an offensive lineman. He's the only quarterback we've had that has shown he can survive with the offensive line that we have.

My concern is how well does he do when we do have a good O line. I like Thigpen and I hope we keep him, but if he isnt scrambling, I worry about his arm. I hope whoever is behind center is successful but Tyler is at best a short term solution.

In the long term I agree with you - when we get this o-line problem fixed. He may not be best quarterback if we had any kind of a line. Right now though - we will probably need somebody like him - a tough durable work-horse.

with a bit more Quarter Horse in him- he'll have to be fast off the line
