It's so tough to know this early if a QB is the answer. Look at some of the great QBs first few years. Aikman, Manning, Elway etc…. ON AND ON AND ON. Tyler has looked really good, but most NFL organizations are not willing to DEVELOP a QB anymore. They want to win now. I say build around a QB, like Oline and get weapons. Build a solid D. Bring back Marty Ball in a way with a wide open offense. Marty Ball D and Spread Offense. Now that would be fun to watch.

Its like this…Thighpen, answer or not, gives us the excuse to stay away from drafting a crappy QB in the 09 draft.

Only if Bradford declares should we consider burning a 1st rounder. The rest of the QB’s are second rate. Also, if Bradford doesnt declare we ride Thighpen to the 2010 draft, even if he has a Derick Anderson 2nd year.

Hope for Tom Brady but plan for Derick Anderson. Thats how I think we should play Thighpen.

Also Losman et all. Sure grab them if you dont have to pay much. Little competition never hurt. I, myself, am keeing an eye on Brian Brohm in Green Bay. Could we get him off waivers next year? How long is that contract we signed? There are plenty of QBs riding the pine in the NFL that are far better and far more ready than what is in this years draft class.

Say it with me, WE WANT ANDRE SMITH! Whoever the QB may end up being, they will be able to drop back and throw a…..dare I say….5 step drop from center? Branden Albert is my man and has done an excellent job and can man a different position on the line. Our line used to dominate and with Smith, it would again sooner rather than later. How much better was Cleveland (last year I guess) with Joe Thomas?

Draft Bradford out of OK and let Thigpen, Croyle and Bradford fight it out. However, the O line is still a need, as is D line.

I think that we could do both, i honestly believe that Croyle and Huard will b gone after this year, and that Quinn gray is only here to bea back up for this year and this year only. I think that the Chiefs will make a strong run at J.P Losman this free agency and will draft a a qb in the third like Cullen Harper, and let the best man win the job, but wither way now you have good depth at the QB and you can hope that one of them is starter material which Tyler Thigpen is oh so trying to do

I think we should look at look at a veteran or someone to bring in along with Tyler. I am not sure he is the answer yet and I think bringing someone in like we did with Trent Green might be a great idea!

I’m no Chiefs authority, but I would say that the team should stick with Thigpen and draft another quarterback in the mid-rounds who could come in and play. But that’s just me.
