I just read on another board that ESPN is reporting that the Chiefs are shopping Thigpen for a third round pick and Jacksonville is offering a 5th round pick

trade thigpen to washington for devin thomas.win win
Sign Jerame tuman as a 3rd TE
Sign Lavelle Hawkins when cut from Titans
Trade Mcbride, Sign Travis Laboy
or trade thigpen for a 3, trade a 2 and the 3 for Boldin, then sign Tuman, trade mcbride and sign laboy.
then just check the FA wire for OL, they got a gem potentially from Miami. For a 6th. Cassel came for a 2nd, to get a 3 for thigpen would be great...and could lead to Boldin...
but I have no problem making a trade for a thomas or someone like that who needs a change in scenary., this team needs help in a lot of places.

what chance? he is a lemon. he is an accurate QB, but gets hurt. that doesnt cut it. A hurt QB doesnt cut it.
yep, but how you going to garuntee me that we will get that awesome lineman if we trade him. There is no way of knowing. Not worth it.
Thigpen did what he could with piss. What Croyle couldnt do.
I thing Thig can. And I watched more than enough games JM. Over and over.
Thig didnt lose those games JM! The team did. Just like a TG(or any quality player) didnt lose the games. Thig did what he could, which includes having an elite passer rating in the NFL (after he regained the starter job).
I dont want anything to happen to Cassell, heaven forbid. But I dont want to have to admit the season is over if he does. Thig is the man who CAN do it if it comes to the playoffs!

The only reason a beer sweats around Canada is because he's decided it will be the next beer he drinks.
There's no guarantees in the NFL. I do know one thing, a player can't win games if he's sitting on the bench. So if you have an opportunity to end up with someone who could potentially start, you have to take it.
By the way, I agree with everything you said about Thigpen. He didn't lose the games. The defense and poor playcalling did. And you can't even begin to use Cassel's record as a basis for comparison because of the supporting cast. Thigpen was basically Jesus last season, turning water into wine. Hell, water's probably an overstatement.
Again, I'm not going to be mad if we keep Thigpen. But I completely understand the logic in trading him if a good offer comes in. We won't be elite until we have a good offensive line. That's a fact.
A 76.0 QB rating isn't what I consider elite. Neither do I consider a sub 60% (sub 55% for that matter) completion percentage elite by any stretch of the imagination either. Considering he had two legitimate threats to throw to in the best TE to ever play the game and a rising star in Bowe you'd expect any QB to get at least 55% of his throws completed.
I'll say this in his defense. Thigpen is a good football player; a dynamic anomaly amongst QBs and fun to watch. But, with that being said, he is the last person on this roster I want to QB this team for any length of time. Thigpen has all the mechanics to be a deverse player in the league save for those that pertain to being a decent QB. He has poor field vision, a weak arm, sloppy foot work, an awkward release, etc... that all tally against him. I will admit that Thigpen made plays last year but what he did was the equivalent of tuck and run football with a chance to possibly throw the ball.
Thigs doesn't lose games...but he doesn't win them either.
He's not indestructible (he did get banged up week 1 of the pre season this year) and he doesn't possess the on field intangibles to be a great QB. If anything Thigpen is a watered down version of Micheal Vick minus the off field stupidity.
IF the Chiefs can get anything above a 5th rounder for him I can't see how they don't make that trade. Anything less would be short changing this team. This is a talent laden draft class coming up in 2010 so the more picks the Chiefs can get in the top half of the draft the better.
