I’d just assume we keep him….I definitely don’t want another “Gannon” coming back to haunt us!

just because it’s there. If they’re offered a 4th, I say do it. I just don’t want to see him in a Raiders/Broncos/Chargers uniform throwing ducks vs the Chiefs twice a year.

Jags saying fifth, Chiefs are saying third…split the difference.

But a 3rd would be perfect. With a first round draft pick, 2 in the 2nd and 2 in the 3rd, that should ultimately fill any holes that we find in the 2009 season.

Got to keep in mind that there are other QB’s about to get cut as well, right now Thigpen’s stock is up but it won’t stay that way. We can’t be too greedy We need to get what we can for him Now before the other teams start making their cuts. If we hold out too long his value will drop and if it drops too far it will come down to just waiting us out til he gets waived. I’m sure we don’t want him going to another AFC West team which could happen on waivers, then we have to deal with him twice a season. Get value for him while there is interest and time but don’t expect too much because time and roster cuts are not with us.

Saints also are 4 deep in QB’s that don’t look too bad to a team in need.

If Sage Rosenfels a much older backup QB can be traded to the Vikes for a fourth rounder, Thigpen can be traded to the Jaguars for a fourth rounder.

However I’d still be content with a 5th as long as we beat Jacksonville’s record this year. The common belief is that we gave up a 5th for Nkudwe and Allenman, and I want to at least compensate with the Thigpen trade

I would definitely include his stature. Forgive me for sounding like Kevin Kietzman for a moment, butI think that’s actually a key reason behind most of the other things on that list (accuracy, staring-down-receivers, really only effective out of the shotgun). His height greatly limits his vision downfield behind all those linemen. And that’s something you can’t really do anything about short of getting smaller linemen, which is probably an even worse idea.

4th would make me happy…

Get what you can for the guy…

Carl can sure find talented QB’s can’t he, lol

Does Thigpen have left on his contract? That will go a long way into determining his worth.

Who actually thinks someone would give up a 1st rounder for Thigpen? Heck, even a 4th rounder is pure gold. Thigpen is at best worth a 5th.

And NO ONE needs to worry about Thigpen becoming another Rich Gannon. The two are incomparable. Please stop putting Thigpen up on this pedestal that he doesn’t really deserve.

If all the games we lost last year we won because of our shitty defense

So what im saying is If are defense wasnt so bad last year and we won a good amount of the games we lost Thigpen would be the starting QB because he put up some good numbers in yards and in TD’s

Someone above mentioned a conditional pick, and that makes sense. Sounds like there’d already be a deal if it were for a 5th-rounder. I could see a sliding scale from 2nd up to 5th. 2nd seems outrageous, but not if the conditions on which it were predicated were along the lines of “He starts 10 or more games, and wins at least one playoff game.”

we package him with someone like d. morgan to raise the pick a bit?
