PFT was kidding. Of course they know that Coastal Carolina has a football team. I do need to correct you on Greg Peterson... he did not play at Coastal Carolina. I think he went to North Carolina Central. As for Thigpen... Minny was a bit surprised and upset that he was claimed off waivers. It's no secret that he's going to get a real chance to challenge Croyle for the starting role. C’mon brasho… PFT was kidding. Of course they know that Coastal Carolina has a football team.

They have replaced the OC and there should be 4 new starters on the OL. The OL still won't be great. They probably need another year with a 1st round draft pick for that, but it will be better than last year. I think are a lot of people are going to be surprised by the Chiefs offense and Croyle this year. It won't be the best offense but it will be twice what last year's offense was.

WR Jerome Simpson was recently drafted fairly high from there, last season DE/DT Greg Peterson was taken from there in the 5th. Thigpen was highly thought of despite his lack of great competition when he came out. If you seriously didn't know they had a team then you seriously need to reconsider even trying to predict/prognosticate the draft, that's an embarrassment to not know that.

Hopefully, Herm's mancrush on Croyle will allow for an open competition. That'd be best for the team. The Chiefs also brought in Chris Leak to compete.

Probably not. But I think he could be perfect in the Packers offense. A lowly 7th round pick could become a Pro-Bowler if given the chance. Didn't get much of a chance to start at LSU behind Jamarcus Russell - who's athleticism and monster arm better suit a college game rather than the pros - but he reminds me a lot of Brady, with his poise in the pocket.

Especially Herm Edwards, Chilly screwed up when he tried to slip him through. I think the kid will compete. I also recall KC snatching Croyle before the Vikings could draft him, then moved up and got Jackson, by the end of the 2008 season they all might be looking for work.

Hmm...I am not really buying this. I don't think KC has really provided Croyle with the opportunity to really be competitive. I think they did some good things in the draft, but I don't think their offense is going to be anything to speak of this year anyhow. Open competition is certainly a good thing. If Thigpen can come in there and beat out Croyle and Huard, good on him, but I just don't see it happening. Croyle needs to play an entire season and since this season is one that probably will be another rebuilding year they might as well take their lumps and go with Croyle a majority of the year and allow Thigpen the last couple of games. That is, of course, assuming that he doesn't come out guns blazing this pre-season and destroy everything in his sight that is a defense. Tyler Thigpen?

I'm just hoping it wasn't our third leg...not that there's anything wrong with that. Coastal Carolina got a little pub this draft when Jerome Simpson was the first WR (of many) the Bungles added to their roster. They selected him with the 15th of the second round, 46th overall.

Herm has been pretty open about wanting to have competition at a majority of the positions, why not QB when you got a couple young unproven guys with potential on the roster? As long as it's not Huard, that would just be a complete waste of a season. The brief moments I saw of Thigpen, the guy looks like he can play. His main problem was staying healthy last year.
