As for Trent Green, you cannot call a six-year starter a “Rent-A-QB”. That doesn’t even almost make sense, Adam. He had 3 consecutive 4,000-yard seasons during his tenure with the Chiefs and quarterbacked one of the best offenses in the league at the time. Until the concussion, Trent Green was our guy.

Tyler Thigpen was a high school running back who was drafted in the second round out of Coastal Carolina. He didn’t win much, but he lost several VERY close games with the league’s 31st ranked defense. He’s the only thing that gave our offense life during the Herm Edwards era and is still a fan-favorite. Notice that he’s still on the team when he probably would have had some trade value this season? That’s because he’s probably still gonna see a good bit of playing time as a wildcat QB. With the innovative offensive minds of Chan Gailey and Todd Haley working on the same sideline, and the wildcat apparently being the wave of the future, you can bet on it.

Some of the crap written in this article is so off that if I didn’t have such high hopes for Matt Cassel as a franchise QB I would almost hope for him to fail just so you would feel dumb for writing it.

As it is, I hope Matt Cassel develops into a top quarterback. The thing is, however, that we have NO IDEA how Matt Cassel will do away from the Patriots. He might be HORRIBLE. Yet another reason this article is so so soooo wrong.

He didn’t play on defense either. The D actually had more effect on not winning that Tyler had. To label him a bust is ridiculous. Not being able to prevent 1st downs and a terrible red zone efficiency of the D gave away games.

I can’t imagine a harder scenario to step into and become a success. I feel he played way above what could be reasonably expected Division 1-AA QB almost not drafted and almost lost to the ranks of practice squad pergatory.
