In his weekly Monday Morning Quarterback column, Sports Illustrated columnist Peter King states:

I think the most logical team to sign Leftwich is Kansas City. Logical, and wrong, evidently. Ladies and gentlemen, introducing the new backup quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs … from Coastal Carolina, Tyler Thigpen.

As a personnel man from an NFC team told me Sunday night: “There is only one team in the NFL that should have signed Leftwich — Kansas City. And they sign Tyler Thigpen? With Damon Huard and Brodie Croyle as their quarterbacks? It’s a clear sign to me they have no intention of doing anything this year, except get ready for 2008.”

I can’t disagree with this. When I saw that the Jaguars were going to release Leftwich, the first thing I thought of was, “I wonder if the Chiefs will go after him.” Now I imagine that there will be a hefty price tag on that guy, but what I can’t figure out is why the Chiefs would sign Tyler Thigpen instead of a guy who is a proven commodity in the NFL.

Go figure. More evidence that the inmates are running the asylum at 1 Arrowhead Drive.
