Really thats all we should be trying to trade for.
we need 3 QB's on the roster. the trade was out of necessity, we weren't looking to upgrade the roster's playmakers. :wink2:
thigpen is about as good as we could have gotten. don't forget he put up those numbers on a very bad Chiefs team, with no o-line to speak of. this doesn't turn things around for us, but it puts the QB situation to bed for awhile.

Those are his Pro Day numbers. I don't think he got invited to the combine.
Thanks for the correction...I meant pro day :up:

From what I understand we were already getting an undisclosed pick for the trades earlier in the year. This just cancels that pick out.
So in essence got rid of Ndukwe and... forget who else... for some depth at QB.
How is this a bad thing? Did the chiefs have some WRs we wanted to poach or something instead?

No, but garcia is a no brainer and we keep our picks,God knows we need every one of them.
TrowaNew MemberIf we gave up a ANOTHER second round pick for a backup QB, which it doesn't seem to be the case, but IF we did...I will literally **** a brick.

I guessed yesterday that he might be one we'd sign. I like the Thigpen trade better TBH. He's younger, cheaper, and has alot more upside.

In the link on the post at the front page called "A case for Tyler Thigpen" it goes on to mention that as of august the Chiefs were shopping for a 5th round pick. I would be VERY surprised if we gave them better than that, especially considering they have him 3rd string, and have already played a few games into the season.
I guess it's possible though, but if they were shopping for a 5th, I think it's pretty safe to say we did not give them a 2nd :)

The only good thing about Garcia at this point is that we can look at naked pics of his wife. We're 0-3, not 3-0. Lets get some young QBs in there and be taken care of for a long time.

uh, it makes perfect sense. Henne goes down all we would have had left would be White. What is so difficult to understand

Yeah I remember that. I just can't recall for certain from where. Was it Best Damn Sports Show?
As to Thigpen......I just had a very humorous thought.
Thigpen was a 7th rd draft pick. How funny would it be if he ended up lighting up the league and being the one to bring us back to prominence?
i don't see why anyone is calling thigpen mediocre
watch his old games, the guy is good (i'm a chargers fan, there's no bias here...seriously, go watch his highlights)
this reminds me of the time sd traded for billy volek as an insurance policy

I really like him. I was wondering why in the pre season no team that was in need for a QB would trade for him. He put up good numbers last season for being on a team like the Chiefs. If Henne doesnt get it done, I think Thigpen could be our guy.

RickyNeverInhaledNew Memberwhen i first heard of this news earlier today i was pissed! But the more i think about it, the more i'm ok with it. i just hate that we gave up a pick. If henne goes down we're in trouble with Pat White.

yeah because teams are SOOO willing to trade their good WR's and DB's.
Thigpen is a good backup QB. he's perfect for what we need him to be, and could grow into having a permanent spot on the team.

Considering we spent a 3rd ad 4th on Turner and Hartline, I'm ok with it...
Besides, we're trading for, at worst, a quality backup. However there is big upside with Thigpen, IMO. At least we know what we're getting.
FinSaneforum_veteranGarcia may be a good QB, but hes a West Coast QB. He wouldnt fit well here.

Would not surprise me...:lol:
In some ways, Thigpen is getting off light, he missed all the fun and games and vomitting of the offseason workouts...

If Thigpen is starting by week 8, then expect those "we should have drafted Matt Ryan" threads to explode on every fins forum on the internet. And they'll be right....
Thigpen taking the starting job from Henne would be a disaster for this team.
The only thing that could be worse is them penciling him in long term and not pursuing another QB prospect in the off season.
Keep your fingers crossed Henne works out....otherwise the current FO may be joining their predecessors within a couple years.
