Estelle Getty Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Chan Gailey had great sucess with Thigpen in Kansas City in 2008 (18 TDs-12INTs-3 Rushing TD's). He knows Gaileys offense. Seems like a natural pocket QB. Has a strong arm, young (25). Played in COLD weather. Was traded to Miami because the Chefs new regime paid their golden boy out the rear. Dolphins are commited to Henne. They also seem to like Pat White. Can problably be had with a 4th round pick. Great value especially considering the fairly weak QB class. Showed he can play, and played very well for Gailey just 1 year ago. I wouldn't mind him as a realistic starting QB who can come in and play right away. 1. Thigpen 2. Fitzpatrick 3. Brohm Sorry but I get a littlle excited about a young QB who knows the offense and has succeeded in it. Don't be Suprised. Flame away!
murra Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I would love this. I think he has all the tools. Fun stat: Career Thigpen: 11 GS, 19 TDs Edwards: 23 GS, 24 TDs Yes, that's right. With literally more than twice as many starts, Trent has only 5 more TDs than Tigpen.
el Tigre Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Great I hope they bring him in,the more comp the better. I haven't followed his career but I have a friend who's a big KC fan and he loved Thigpen when he was there. He talked about him so much,we made fun of him.

With literally more than twice as many starts, Trent has only 5 more TDs than Tigpen. Chan Gailey might have been the OC at KC, who was calling plays the last two years for the Buffalo Bills? Turk Schonert 1 yrs exp- AVP no exp The Buffalo offense has been bad for 10 years, lets hope Gailey can fix it.
NFLBighits Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Why were after Thigpen we should try a package deal with Joey Porter also he wants to play full time and not be rotational player...
Tux of Borg Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Last time I saw Tyler he was bitching about how five bucks is too much for beer. lol
moovemtooelay Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I would be for this only because it would make the Dolphins looks stupid
BuffaloBound2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I would like the move, but I don't think you hand him the job. Open competition for the spot. The more the merrier.
Kettle Creek Football Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I'm guessing the 'Fish would not be willing to trade him AND Porter to an AFC EAST opponent.
Albany,n.y. Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I'm guessing the 'Fish would not be willing to trade him AND Porter to an AFC EAST opponent.
bananathumb Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Yeah, like Parcells is going to deal away anybody to the Bills worth having.
H2o Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 Didn't the Dolphins trade for Thigpen themselves? I don't know if they would want to let him go if that's the case, but I would like the move. I was surprised the Chiefs went after Cassell after how well Thigpen played for that team in '08.
PushthePile Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I would love this. I think he has all the tools. Fun stat: Career Thigpen: 11 GS, 19 TDs Edwards: 23 GS, 24 TDs Yes, that's right. With literally more than twice as many starts, Trent has only 5 more TDs than Tigpen. It's not just the stats either. Thigpen is far more aware of what's going on around him, then Trentative. Edwards has no ability to feel pressure and get rid of the ball. Thigpen is not the next coming of Peyton Manning but he has showed the potential to be pretty good.
May Day 10 Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I would be happy. i think it may be a little far-fetched...
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 18 TDs in 2008 went 280 and 2 tds at NYJ, 266 and 3 tds at SD, 235 and 2 tds vs. NO, 240 and 3 vs. the BILLLLLLLZ, and 320 and 2 vs. Miami.

I was surprised the Chiefs went after Cassell after how well Thigpen played for that team in '08. If he's really worth having, the Dols won't let him go. When your starting QB (it's Chad Henne, folks) goes down and your backup is Pat White---your season is over. Thigpen may be a decent QB, but take a closer look---he struggles to complete passes. His "great year" saw him barely completing over 50% and he had several games below that. He took 26 sacks.He threw 420 times but only racked up 2600 yards. He is 1-10 as a starter.

Brohm Sorry but I get a littlle excited about a young QB who knows the offense and has succeeded in it. Don't be Suprised. Flame away! Makes sense. Drafting a QB would be a waste. Wait until next year when big time talent comes out. Draft O Line, get DL in Free Agency (ralph too cheap though), and draft LB. Thigpen plays right away. Win some games. Go from there. This thing ain't turnin' around to be be a winning franchise anytime soon, so do it right.
JPS Posted February 3, 2010 Posted February 3, 2010 I'm sorry, did you say TRADE for Tyler Thigpen?? Why not grab Derek Anderson while your at it. He had about 30 TDs a coupla years ago.... I hope they hold on to their draft picks, add even more and draft well. If we're looking for Kelly's replacement, he's not buried on some other team's depth chart.
