Thigpen put up numbers that were just as good as Cassel’s and he did so with a lot less talent around him. I think the QB position should be up for grabs. If Thigpen or Croyle outplay Cassel than they deserve to be given the opportunity for the starting job.He also ran a gimmick offense geared especially for him, threw to the greatest Tight End of all time, and had a big target at WR in Dwayne Bowe.
Thigpen is an intriguing player with a very unique play style but, like I’ve said in a previous thread, if the Chiefs wanted a QB like Thigpen to run an offense then they should’ve gone for Vick who does everything Thig. does on the field only much better.
I like Thigpen as an athlete, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t want him playing QB for any sort of longevity. He’s a trick player. A gadget guy at best.
Raiders4life;144812 wrote:Wasted picks? Those wasted picks got us to a Super Bowl THIS decade. 2 AFC Championship games.Your picks have gotten you 1 division title this decade. And FYI i dont follow the chiefs, but if im gonna state something i look up facts. Darren McFadden sure had fun against your D.. 176 yards in 3 quarters. Stupid pick? Oh I guess.. lol
I dunno I’d have to say that Jamarcus Russel qualifies as a stupid pick as well. What’s this 3 straight years he’s shown up to training camp out of shape?
Heyward-Bey? Not going to take any shots at a rookie so I’ll will this season out but you can’t tell me that pick sat right with you and every other raider fan when it was announced. Especially considering how poor the WR draft class this year was.
Raiders4life;144812 wrote:One and done in the playoffs. Oakland was good the first part of this decade and still has more production than the chiefs. A Super Bowl bid you cant mess with. We were also screwed out of another AFC Championship Game in NE. That would have given us 3.. coulda shoulda woulda,. The Raiders have the chiefs beat easily there. But im Not going to bring up the past. Its the here and now.And that “red carpet defense” of yours has only improved a bit. A rookie DE/Old linebackers (leadership yes) and some wonderboy DCord from the freakin Cardinals are going to help??? Okay, good luck with that. Did you forget that Arizona’s D was a wretch all season long but they still had/have more talent than the chiefs D. Pendergast has nothing to work with. No rushers, no legit NT.. nothing. So that same Darren McFadden and Michael Bush have a veryy good chance of running alllll over that D again this year. Am i wrong?
We’ll just see come week 2. I hope your run D is ready.. 9 in the box MIGHT help.. I hope you develop some sort of pass rush.. And i hope wonder boy “NE System” qb is ready too. You have no room to talk. Take a look in the mirror. Dont blame herm.. no past. Its today
True you can’t really compare Chiefs post-season success to the Raiders, I’ll give you that. But thats the past like you said and if you don’t produce anything out of all those wins its still second best and almosts. And like they say: Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
Can’t really comment on the defense going into this year either. I think they’ll show market improvement but thats just speculation consiering everythings being overhauled. Who knows what the f*** will happen now so I won’t say you’re wrong but I won’t say you’re right either.
I’d still take Cassel over Jamarcus Russel anyday of the week. I mean come on didn’t Cable or someone say that Russel finally got it or was showing something this offseason and he shows up overweight and out of shape for what? The 3rd consecutive year? I’ll take my chances with Cassel at least he’s proven he know how to win in the NFL and knows what it means to be a leader and work hard for what he’s earned.
Like you said (again) look in the mirror you have no room to talk while raider success may have been at its apex at the beginning of this decade they certainly haven’t been this looming juggernaut you seem to be trying to get us to believe. Yea the Cheifs have set records in futility the past two season but the raiders have been doing it well over the past half a decade now. If thats what you want to laud over us then by all means do it. Last thing that I really care about is for the Chiefs to appeal to the Raiders definition of success or whatever it is they do in oakland.
And just try having Herm Edwards as a Coach. Just try it then you’ll know exactly what a Chief’s fan means when they talk about his ‘era’.

I’m more concerned about who is going to show up for the the mandatory practices and mini camps (hint hint Brian Waters).
Only time will tell if LJ learned anything. He’s skating the fine line here between a lot of money and a lot of ‘no money’. I think he’ll behave himself, he stands to lose more then the Chiefs do if he screws up this last chance.
no problem with the guy drinking in Vegas as long as he stays out of trouble
hopefully that secondary coach from New England we hired can polish that raw talent in Washington into something legit.
maybe in the mold of a rodney harrison or something close to it in a couple of years.

I gave the Chiefs the benefit of the doubt on more then a couple of games (the opptomist in me). I’ll wait till the draft rolls through and we’re neck deep in the pre season to make anything official. My conviction stands that the Chiefs will (most likely) finish either .500 or 9-7 when its all said and done (the realist in me).
But if this season is to be the ‘turn around’ season, I’d imagine the Chiefs could pull something like this off.
Only time will tell.
Seems to be popular so I’ll strike while the iron is hot and add a little flavor to the discussion
Week 1 at Ravens – Win
Why: Loss of a few defensive personnel including their coordinator as well as a suspect offense leaves me to believe the Chiefs have a fighting chance to win this game.
Conviction: 65% (Pre-draft)
Week 2 vs. Raiders – Win
Why: The Raiders are taking a step in the right direction (I’m being objective) but are far from solidified on either side of the ball. Unless JMac shows serious improvement their offensive game plan will be one sided and their defense can easily be overlooked. (1-0 in the divison)
Conviction: 80% (Pre-draft)
Week 3 at Eagles – Win
Why: This is a pending arguement. Eagles are always suspect to the early season schedule, either starting hot or cold. I think with the loss of Dawkins the defense regressed but hasn’t lost a huge step yet the looming negativity that surrounds ‘another’ NFC title game loss will have a lingering effect on their ego.
Conviction: 51% (Pre-draft)
Week 4 vs. Giants – Loss
Why: The Giants are a juggernaut plain and simple. I believe they’ll find a solution for Burress in the draft for their ailing offense and pick up a Heyward-Bey or Britt from Rutgers and refit the missing link that the offense was lacking last season. Their defense is as stacked as ever. Cassel beware.
Conviction: 85% (Pre-draft)
Week 5 vs. Cowboys – Win
Why: Another game that is up in the air for me, but I’ll favor the Chiefs in this contest. Dallas defensive secondary has always been its achilles heel. With the loss of Williams and the addition of Keith Brookin did little in terms of solidifying a defensive front 7 led by Demarcus Ware. The Offense led by Romo is hit or miss and with TO out of town the Chiefs can sigh a sigh of relief and game plan around Witten/Barber/Jones.
Conviction: 60% (Pre-draft)
Week 6 at Redskins – Win
Why: The Redskins are like the Cowboys in a sense, deep pockets but no cohesion. The Offense is suspect to the hit or miss average and the defense is constantly being retooled with high dollar players that are suspect to taking games off. Unless Jason Campbell cann lead this ailing squad to something amazing I think the Chiefs squeak by with a win and make it 3-1 out of the NFC east gauntlet.
Week 7 vs. Chargers – Loss
Why: The Chargers are another team that is suspect to the schedule of the regular season yet over the past couple of years seemed to have the Chiefs number when the chips were on the line. With the return of Merriman and LT/Sproles on Offense lead by the talented Rivers I think the Bolts pull of the pre bye upset and take us to 1-1 in the division.
Conviction: 65% (pre-draft)
Week 8 BYE
Week 9 at Jaguars – Win
Why: Teams are said to win coming off the bye and the Chiefs should be no exception to this. With the looming eminence of a winning season in hand I think the Chiefs will come out firing against a depleted Jag. defense and an Offense that is subject to what it does in the draft. Without a solid reciving threat the Jags are a one trick pony.
Conviction: 75% (pre-draft)
Week 10 at Raiders – Win
Why: The Chiefs are the only team in the AFC West to have an all time winning record against the Raiders. With their recent struggles internally there is little reason to see why that is. (2-1 in the divison)
Conviction: 99% (pre-draft)
Week 11 vs. Steelers – Loss
Why: Its the Steelers. Last time the Chiefs played the Steelers they lost, I believe, 44-0. Barring some major season injuries to the Steelers this is as probably as close to a lock as one can get.
Conviction: 99% (pre-draft)
Week 12 at Chargers – Win
Why: The gameplan. Chiefs always play the Chargers tough even when they’re doing poorly. An offense and defense retooled through the draft should provid the Chiefs an edge in the late season divison race. (3-1 in the divison)
Conviction: 70% (pre-draft)
Week 13 vs. Broncos – Win
Why: McDaniels is anything but the genius he is touted to be. After the Jay Cutler drama in Denver the Broncos set themselves back at least 5 years with Kyle Orton at the helm. There is little to believe that Dawkins and Co. can turn around a suspect defense like Denver around. (4-1 in the divison)
Conviction: 80% (pre-draft)
Week 14 vs. Bills – Loss
Why: I think TO has a big game. Marshawn Lynch is a train and unless the Chiefs get the ball rolling early they’ll stub their toe on their season success this year and bite the bullet taking another loss that they probably shouldnt.
Conviction: 70% (pre-draft)
Week 15 vs. Browns – Win
Why: Mangini, like McDaniels, is anything but smart. WIth the rumors of a Braylon Edwards trade looming and Kellen Winslow being traded already, there is little to believe that Man-Genius is anything but hype. With an aging defense being stocked with Jets leftovers this is shaping up to be another lost season for the Browns faithful.
Conviction: 85% (pre-draft)
Week 16 at Bengals – Win
Why: The Carson Palmer to Ocho-cinco tandem is still a threat but there is no running game and Housh has left the building. While Dhani Jones is tackling the globe the defense can do little else in terms of consistent production.
Conviction: 80% (pre-draft)
Week 17 at Broncos – Loss
Why: Starters are benched as the Chiefs have clenched the division (I believe). A laid back gameplan leads me to believe that the Broncos are playing for nothing so why leave your starters out there, as a Chief. (4-2 in the divison)
Conviction: 70% (pre-draft)
So 11-5 and playoff bound. AFC West Champs.

Jason Smith in some circles is viewed as the best OT in the draft. Out of the University of Baylor he is considered a slightly more complete LT then Monroe with quicker feet and slightly better latteral movement in the hips as well as a more polished run blocker.
He’s been projected in some mock drafts of going anywhere between 1-3.
