It was almost sickening watching him almost throw a million picks throwing only to Gonzalez.

To be fair to Thigpen here there are very major differences. Cassell stepped into a very established offense and was in his 4th year in the NFL out of USC and learned behind Brady.
Thigpen came into an offense averaging 9 points per game with an Oline that had already lead to the demise of 2 previous QB's. He was also only in his 2nd season in the NFL out of Coastal Carolina and had to learn behind Croyle and Huard.
To me what Thigpen did was more impressive than what Cassell did.
