Yep he put on a solid performance, and our wr's had the droppsie's today.
I hope that this team starts him next year. Congrats Thigpen for competing like a champ and doing what you do even though our team was clearly out matched.

His stats were not even close to Brady's. And two of his biggest completions should have been intercepted. And his one TD came after an interception on an extremely advised throw was negated by a penalty. He did not look solid. No one on offense looked solid.
That may be true. But even if we get Gabbert or Luck, it's a gamble (that they perform well in the pros AND that they can do so with the rest of our poor team which trading to get one of those guys will make impossible to fix completely) and if we don't get to draft one, we'd be better off curing the rest of our team and getting some bounce around Vet to supplement Henne and Thiggy next year or try to find some diamond in the rough college QB in the fifth round or later.
It is time to clean house, but it has been obvious that Henne was not the answer. Thigpen is the best Qb on our roster and gave us the best chance. Unless someone comes in and competes, Thigpen is who we need to roll with.
Hell, we wasted an entire season on Henne, why not him. I believe there is a better option, but we also need to see what he can do beofe shoving Henne back in. Henne was just absolutely terrible and showed no emotion or leadership.
The team overall is not as bad as people are making it out to be.
We do need an infusion of speed on offense and that means at least one WR, a TE, and a RB. We also need an OC that is agressive, innovative and a capable play caller that adapts to the personnel, not the other way around.
But we also must add at least one quality OG and a RT to replace or compete seriously with Carey.
Beyond that we have to add a playmaking replacement for Crowder and a quality pass rusher to complement Wake.
Henne and Thingpen should both stay but we should add a rookie capable of competeing with them and/or winning the starting job.
Three to four of those players could be added in F/A leaving us with having to draft four to five starters.
A tall order to be sure but if we do our homework it's doable...even if we fail on two or three of those players we would see an overall improvement if we hit on the WR, TE, RB and have Henne or Thigpen develop over the off season.
A new HC is not mandatory however it won't piss me off if Ross brings one in as long as it's not another conservative power running game guy.
Blah blah blah. the man put up a 91.2 qb rating when the whole team played like ass.
Plus he ran for over 30 yards, and would have had a MUCH higher QB rating if BESS hadnt drop three in a row, and our crap TE drop the easist pass in the world.
What does that matter? The Dolphins were SLAUGHTERED today.
Nobody gave a sh!t when Henne put up good stats during a loss. They just say how he should have turned into Superman and willed the team to win.
Thigpen put up barely average stats during garbage time. It means nothing. QB rating is junk. Week in and out all of the anti-Henne people said, "the only thing that matters in the end is the WIN".
Well I don't know if you caught the game today, but it pretty much went like this:
The Dolphins spent the morning lubing each other up, then when they hit the field today they all dropped their pants and grabbed their ankles.
Meanwhile Dan "I should probably kill myself for putting Miami fans through this" Henning, suffering from a particularly extreme case of dementia, took a triple dose of Viagra, thinking that they were magical play-calling pills that would make him stop sucking so much, and hoped that phans no longer wanted his head on a spear outside the stadium.
