Dolphins acquire QB Tyler Thigpen from Chiefs

PrintThe Miami Dolphins have acquired quarterback Tyler Thigpen from the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for an undisclosed draft pick. With the injury to Chad Pennington, it was assumed that the Dolphins would go out and try to get a quarterback on their roster that has at least some starting experience. Thigpen will join Chad Henne and Pat White as the three quarterbacks in Miami.
Thigpen is in his third season out of Coastal Carolina. In 2008, Thigpen saw extended action in Kansas City, appearing in 14 games. He threw for 2,608 yards and 18 touchdowns last year, with a career high 320 yard effort against the Dolphins in week 16. Thigpen can also move, rushing for over 300 yards and 3 touchdowns in 2008.
It should come as no surprise that Bill Parcells and the Dolphins turned to the Chiefs for some help with their quarterback depth. Kansas City GM Scott Pioli is Bill Parcells' son-in-law and this marks the second time he's done business with Pioli this year. The Chiefs had also been looking to trade Thigpen for a little while now bringing in Matt Cassel and Matt Gutierrez.
While we shouldn't read too much into this seeing as how we all knew the Dolphins would be bringing in some quarterback with starting experience to compliment Henne and White, it's worth noting that Thigpen is only 25 years old and has far more starting experience than both of Miami's two quarterbacks combined. Even still, I suspect Thigpen will be nothing more than the #3 quarterback on gameday for the foreseeable future.
To make room for Thigpen on the roster, the Dolphins have indeed placed Chad Pennington on Injured Reserve.
Here's what Joel Thorman of Arrowhead Pride says about Thigpen:
Depending on the compensation, this is a good move for the Miami Dolphins.
Last season, injuries to the Kansas City Chiefs top two quarterbacks forced Tyler Thigpen into action. While the wins didn't come in droves like the fans would have wanted, he did bring an excitement with his play.His athleticism is his biggest upside. It wasn't a surprise in the least to see him reel off 30-50 rushing yards in a game last season, which is a far higher average than the vast majority of quarterbacks.There are, however, a couple of downsides. First, his accuracy is not good. Not at all. Granted it was his second year in the NFL, and first time seeing any extended action, but he still completed less than 55% of his passes which is poor for a starting quarterback in the NFL.The other downside is the offense that'll have to be run to accommodate him. By the second half of the season when Thigpen was the only option for the Chiefs, they employed what we over at Arrowhead Pride have dubbed the ArrowSpread. It's basically a spread-like offense that's used to create space for him. It's sort of gimmicky and isn't used by many teams.Bottom line? Thigpen's a good backup assuming he's put into the right offense. Depending on the compensation, I like this move for the Dolphins with Chad Pennington's injury.I'm not even a Dolphins phanatic and I can't wait to see an offensive set that includes Tyler Thigpen and Pat White in the same backfield.

Well, he did look pretty good against us last season. I wonder if this means that the front office doesn’t have too much faith in Pat White.

Oh my god.....
Pat White was NEVER EVER EVER going to be a starter for this team.
How is that everyone fails to realize this? You people so stuck in the college game that you can’t clearly see the difference?
i disagree.
not now by any means. But i dont think we would have spent a 2nd round pick if we didnt have any faith on him as a QB.

We had our heir apparent in Henne....
The FO had already announced that. With PW, we were using a luxury pick…..as in…
HEY HIS WILDCAT WORKS….if we had this guy, maybe it works better…..and in an emergency situation, maybe he can hand off and throw some passes.
He’s way toooo small to be subject to any long term season in the NFL. He’d be on IR in under 3-4 weeks.

I think it's that
there isn’t faith in Henne. Thigpen is only in his 3rd year, so he could be a starter for a long time. Henne gets a few games to show he deserves the job before Thigpen learns the offense.

You know....this isn't a BAD pickup at all!
He did decent things with the Chiefs, and they were about the same talent wise, possibly worse….
Not a bad pickup at all.
I hope it isn't a very high pick though
maybe a 4th or 5th, nothing higher

This is another move by the Front Office and Coaching Staff that makes me wonder about their confidence in Henne.
Why trade for a 25 yr old QB, who played well in a starting role last year, when you could have signed a veteran off the scrap heap just to be an emergency 3rd QB and kept a draft pick? Why draft Pat White in the 2nd round?
I really wonder what this coaching staff is saying about Henne behind closed doors. Both of those are not moves you make if you are completely confident in Henne.

we now have 3 very young QB’s. i think the FO is gonna keep swinging at the pinata until something good falls out.

I 100% agree.
Why not keep signing young talent while you can. Try to groom as many studs as possible. This is exactly what the Pats do. Acquire them young, make them great, trade for insane value, and start all over again.
That ensures that you have a consistently good, young team and don’t rely too much on what you currently have.
I wish someone would have kept getting young QBs when Marino was getting up there in years so we wouldn’t have been floundering for a decade.

BPA in both situations
your veteran options are slim with Garcia off the market. If you can get a comfy backup for the long haul in case Henne flops for a low round pick your doing yourself a favor. Thigpen will never start off a season unless the incumbent starter gets injured in the Pre-Season.
Time is a great teacher... unfortunately it kills all it's pupils.
Thigpen has great stats
for a shitty O-Line. I don’t see how you can claim he will never start off a season… He would win a QB battle vs. Henne easily at the moment. If Henne does not shine in the next 3 games, Thigpen may well step in to finish the season.

"Everybody wants a hero, but they're not willing to wait for one"
Agreed
Not sure they have as much Confidence in Henne as they say.
First, he was only our 2nd pick in the second round of the 2008 draft when the entire mock-draft world had him going to the Fins with the 1st pick of rd 2 or even other teams trading back into bottom of 1st round to pick him before the Fins.
Second, we were a hopeless rebuilding team and it was evident in training camp that Henne would have been our starter, if not for the 1st 3 games, then certainly after the bye-week. Instead of building for the future, they took a 2-year stop gap solution in Penny b/c thay didn ’t think Henne was ready.
Third, they drafted Pat White in rd 2 this year (although I have posted before that I think was just to stop other teams from getting him).
Fourth, they trade for a young Tyler Thigpen.
I don’t think Henne gets the full 13-game tryout like most are predicting.

The front office made a stupid ass mistake on taking pat white in the 2nd round… Im pretty sure all it was about was the wildcat plays they could use with him… and so far they have back fired… It’s nothing like college for him at all, and he’s going to fail, miserably. That pick is worse than taking that LB over Anquan Boldin
We may have given them their pick back that they gave us for Idukwe and Alleman.

kinda glad they went and got a young guy. David Lee (and Pennington still, he won’t just disappear, he’ll still be around the team) can mentor the guys, and now we have 3 young QB’s… I think our odds are better of finding one that works out the more of them we actually get.

thigpen
great in shotgun/wildcat can catch the ball, is athletic…just is not a plant and throw guy, he can run with it but wont run then throw very well…poor accuracy…overall can fit in the right scheme which you have
hmm I like this move
I thought Thigpen was interesting to watch last year and maybe he will be interesting to watch this year, on our team.

I agree, I think Thigpen will do very well.
Many Dolphins fans hope Pennington sticks around as a QB coach next year, myself included.
Driver of the Trade-Ronnie-Brown Bandwagon.
Pennington is a class act.
They’ve got him on IR, and he came in with the understanding that he would help groom Henne. So he’ll definitely help this year. If Chad can’t latch on somewhere with a QB slot, then coaching would be good. He’s a smart guy.

Nothing to get excited about with this guy cause the two you have are better and more reliable than thiggy.

I like the move
but I don’t see him starting for us in the near future, unless disaster strikes. He was the last hope for KC last year, and they had to completely alter the offense to accomodate him. They ran nothing but shotgun, ran options, and essentially reverted back to a college offense because he couldn’t run anything else. I don’t see him being successful in a traditional offense right off the bat here. Henne will start the rest of the year, and if he ain’t the answer, then we can draft a guy and compete him against PigPen.

I don't understand why everybody thinks we are that bad of a team?
The year is not headed to shit, we won’t be the worst team in the NFL, and it’s not time to abandon everything we’ve built to accomodate a spread option QB just so we have a chance to win a couple.
Last year, we had close games with STL, OAK, SEA, and KC, all bottom-feeders (4 of the worst 7 teams in the NFL last year). This year, we’ve had close games with ATL (beat ourselves with turnovers), Indy, and SD (close until the pick6), all playoff teams.

few things
We got Pat White, who by all accounts should be running the Wildcat, but he more or less stops our offensive rhythm every time he’s in there. The Wildcat isn’t the same as the spread option, so it’s not really built for a speedy, passing threat. It’s a power running offense, designed to get our two best players (Ronnie and Ricky) to the second level where they do DAMAGE. Ronnie runs it great because he’s able to see everything and pick his gap.

how about...
he just got traded for a draft pick even though KC is not exactly QB deep… they had to change the entire offense to fit what he could do last year because he couldn’t run a normal offense…
there’s plenty to like about him, like the fact that he does have a live arm, and he’s only 25, but let’s not go overboard with him being THE guy right off the bat like he’s Peyton Manning

People seem to forget that the offense the Chiefs had before Thigpen
got 2 QB’s out for the season. The had to do something with the offense, so why not go to what your QB knows best. Also 10 of his 18 TD passes were from under center.
I am not saying he will be the next Manning but if you check his stats (a 3rd stringer coming off the bench) compared to a lot of other QB’s first year stats his are very good.

we had to go to the WC last year and we had CP so it's not always QB related

and down the stretch
when we won 9 of 10, Pennington was the offense, not the WC

DEFENSE
really stepped it up
IMO defense influences the offense the most especially if ur not a big play offense

It all kind of goes hand in hand.
The same thing works the other way. If the offense totally sucks and is always 3 and out I dont care how good the defense is they are going to get worn down.

Thigpen is a stud
The guy puts up numbers when it counts..
Upside: He’s 25..Hardly had any experience last year and came in and put up comparable numbers to Matt Ryan and Flacco. He’s incredibly elusive and can make defenders miss..hell of an athlete..Grear runner..Can throw the long ball..Can take a beating without being injured…
His two knocks thus far : inability to run a “traditional” offense effectively..(we ran the pistol with him last year and he kicked ass). Also his accuracy can be questionable at times…

Hey guys I've been a chiefs fan since I was 7..
However I am Moving to Miami in October since I just graduated from College
Thigpen is a playmaker…He was the only exciting thing about the chiefs last year..The guy is a lot of fun to watch and put up really good numbers..He had two or three bad games, but had 7-8 really good ones..We went from scoring 10 points a game to scoring 20-30 points a game..He played pretty well against Miami last year at arrowhead..He is stellar in the spread…Since you guys run more of a wildcat offense this is great news for you..The guy makes plays..I could care less what anyone else says..I’m stoked he’s gonna be down here and this instantly makes me want to become a dolphins fan! Hell yes

Dude, do it!
There is always room on an 0-3 bandwagon.
Here's to hitting your head jumping off the bandwagon.
Oh man even if we're 0-16!!!
This is going to be one HELL of a season. It’s playing out like a detective novel (or the dating game). Who’s it gonna be?

Thig was pretty effective in Gailey’s freaky offense last year despite a poor oline.
He played in a wild offense at Coastal Carolina too.
He can catch the ball, run the ball, and throw the ball.
Thig had 3 rushing TDs 1 Rec TD and 18 passing TD in only 11 starts on a team pretty dry on talent.
Thigpen admired Steve Young as a kid and is never afraid to run the ball.
If Henne falters, Thigpen could step in and lead Miami.
I like what I'm reading hear..!

up.. Im thinking this means they have decided that Pat White is not the future of even the WC of this team.
I have had Thigpen on my Madden 09 and 10 teams ! lol I always trade away CP10 and add Thigpen as my 2nd or 3rd QB. lol ON Madden 09 I think I played him for 1/2 season because CP10 went down with an injury and Thigpen ended the season and progressed quite nicely the next season. lol
I really dont know much about himoutside of Madden though.. Stuff sounds good so far though.
So now if Henne blows chunks at lease we have someone with some starting experience and not just shrimp patty.
CP10 is the current leader of this team... respect him
Henne is the future leader of this team...
Beck could have been.. its a shame he was thrown to the wolves unpreped

JT.. Porter.. Wake.. gona getcha !
I'm a Chiefs fan.
It’s a really good move.
I’m so sick of hearing all of this absolutely untrue bullshit about the tailor-made offense. IT isn’t true. We changed our offense because we had no offensive line. We still don’t, as you can see from watching but a series of Chiefs football.
No offensive line play is never a good thing. Ever. Chan Gailey figured out the best possible way to solve for our immense offensive line deficiencies. We couldn’t run a get-the-ball-out-quick scheme, because we didn’t have the receivers to get open that quickly. So instead, we went to a spread-like formation, the ArrowSpread, to give Thigpen more space than just dropping back, but keeping I-formation principles for the running game. I love the Pistol. I don’t know why more people don’t use it, really.
So no, it wasn’t used solely because Tyler couldn’t handle normal offenses. He’s a real asset to use when used the right way. No, he can’t be Peyton Manning and stay in the pocket and deliver the perfect ball. But he can be Tony Romo. Easy.
Another good read... thanks Rock...

I am still hoping that Henne is the guy
but it does make you wonder what he might look like behind our line. We are not great at pass protection right now but still better than what KCs throwing out there.

That is true we have one of your rejects as our starter. How bad is that.

I have always like the Fins and now with this trade I couldn't be happier.
Haley seems to want a pocket passer and so Thigpen was done in KC. And I think here is the best place he could have went.

awesome post man!
and i understand the logic of using the spread to compensate for a weak line.
Thanks for the insight!
