Good news for Thigpen, chance to be week 1 starter!
Chiefs' Kingdom Collapses with Cassel's Fall

When Matt Cassel(notes) hobbled to the trainer's room Saturday, the air was sucked out of Arrowhead Stadium. The Chiefs' most heralded offseason acquisition was injured, and the pattern of 2008 seemed to be repeating itself.

Chiefs officials weren't spilling much about what ails their starting quarterback, only that he had injured a leg and wouldn't return to their exhibition against the Seahawks.

Writing for the Kansas City Star, Kent Babb put it this way:

"Cassel's injury was something Kansas City couldn't afford. He was more valuable than the $28 million guaranteed contract he signed two months ago—he was the future. Cassel was supposed to be the quarterback the Chiefs had waited decades for. And even if he couldn't become Len Dawson, then he at least wouldn't be Brodie Croyle(notes) or Damon Huard(notes)."

Word could come Sunday that would render this handwringing moot, but the mood in KC went from bad to worse when Cassel went down.

For the record, Cassel was tackled from behind by Seahawks defensive tackle Brandon Mebane(notes). He clutched his left leg while down. After struggling to get back to the huddle, Cassel called time out and limped off the field.

Tyler Thigpen(notes) replaced Cassel and could wind up as the Chiefs' Week 1 starter if Cassel's injury KO's him.

The bad news didn't end with Cassel. Wideout Devard Darling(notes) and cornerback Brandon Flower also were injured.

That's actually really bad news. Thigpen needs time to develop on the bench. But then again, if Croyle starts, I'm sure Thigpen will need to start by week 2 anyway.

They talk about Thigpen because no one thinks Croyle can make it through a game.

Maybe if we're lucky Croyle will stay alive until halftime of Game 1. At least then we'd have an entire half of Thigpen-less football.

Based on what I saw, Thigpen can't function in a regular NFL offense.

Based on what I saw I don't think he could function in a Pop Warner offense right now.

I have no doubt he could still do what he did last year in a weird hybrid offense, but who needs to see that again?

I think this writer was eating a paint chip cereal before even insinuating that Thigpen is gonna start in this offense.

That's fine. The Ravens defense can murder Thigpen instead of Cassel. No problem there.
