Thigpen certainly interests me, but with no first rounder and the distinct possibility of giving up a decent pick for DT help, not to mention I don't see Matt or Josh getting cut, Tyler's little more than a nice thought.

The Pats certainly have the ammo.

As soon as they brought Walter in I figured that KOC was not "getting it".

Since they drafted him in round 3 last year he must REALLY not be getting it.

It's a shocker that they cut him before Hoyer too. Maybe Hoyer is P/S material and they go with 2 QBs.

I would actually not be surprised if Den checks into him since Orton has a boo boo and Simms is out with the ankle.

That one wouldn't surprise me.

Re: Hoyer. I had forgotten he was a UDFA, considering IIRC, he was a 2nd-3rd round prospect last season, so I figed he was drafted. One thing I give him credit for, was going 10-2 last year - where plenty of MSU QB's past seemed to fold along with the team. The lightly regarded QB from a Michigan college thing may work for him.

If Gutierrez is the odd man out in KC - provided there is one, he may return to his old team.

the lions got him

Lions claimed QB Kevin O'Connell off waivers from the Patriots.

We imagine many teams put in waiver bids, but the 0-16 Lions had first priority. O'Connell, the Pats' third-round pick in 2006, offers good athleticism and above average arm strength, but his accuracy is poor. He'll be a candidate for the final roster if Drew Stanton goes on injured reserve.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
