Take On: Cassel, Thigpen, and Croyle

Cassel:
-Positives-Great pocket passer, Can use legs if in trouble, Can hit players in stride, Good awareness
-Negatives-Not a deep threat, Not a good goal line threat(43.5pct) within opponents 20 yard line

Thigpen:
-Positives-Great at running if in trouble, Has proven himself over Croyle, Can score, Adds another dimension to team, Durable
-Negatives-Not a pocket passer, Sometimes just throws the ball up there, Impatient with ball

Croyle:
-Positives-Strong arm, Good pocket presence, Has shown up in Camp and Preseason, Can knit the ball in there
-Negatives-Hasn't proven much in games, Stays injured(high school, college, pros), Quite a bit of mental mistakes

--Comparing--

Last Season:

Cassel: Completions-327 Attempts-516 Percentage- 63.4 Yards- 3,693 Tds-21 Int-11
Plus 270 Rushing Yards with 2 TDS

Thigpen: Completions-230 Attempts-420 Percentage-54.8 Yards-2,608 Tds-18 Int-12 Plus 386 Rushing yards with 1 TD and a recieving TD

Very similar stats here. Cassel did better overall but had one of the best teams to work with. Far better offensive line and a better WR core. Oh, and Cassel had a lot more playing time. Croyle hasn’t proven anything but he can stay injured. Thigpen will stay on the team.

Cassel is a good QB and will make things happen. He is what we are looking for in a franchise QB. Croyle should be on the team but as a 3rd string until he can prove himself and stay healthy. Cause if he can do that then he is the type of QB we want. Thigpen is amazing on foot and goal line situations and is durable. This is just my take on things. My first post here at AP. Go Chiefs!
