Please don't say he's trade bait. He's getting payed peanut right now so I doubt we let him go.
No one expects him to be a Dan Marino in his first ever game as a Dolphin.
Thigpen has about 1/10000th of the velocity needed on passes run in a conventional offense. If we move to spread, maybe. He then will be able to have more room to roam around and what not, but that's not going to happen. Henne is the starter next year.
But it's okay to expect Chad Henne to be Dan Marino in his first season as starter?
Never said I expect Henne to be Dan Marino.
