He is horrific as a returner. 30 yards of green grass and he fair catches both times one he falls and is almost a disaster. Looks so slow on kickoffs too.

Yup, I agree 100%.....he's starting to look like pure crap
 
Thigpen is horrendous, he is very consistent in catching the ball and making mental mistake, position needs to be addressed
 
Having Thigpen as PR/KR is GIVING UP on the play. Period.

He's as sad as Bess was back there.

Other teams put pressure on opposing teams w. their return men. Miami simply gives up on the play, putting Thigpen back there.

Not quick -- mentally or physically.

No threat AT ALL.
 
He was a good kick returner last year, not so much this year. Absolutely awful at punt returns though. I could go back there and fair catch it.

There has to be a better solution...
 
He's replaceable. If he doesn't pan out as a 3rd down RB or something like that, or on special teams, I wouldn't mind cutting him. He's been my biggest disappointment this year.
 
Is there anyone on our roster that we can put back there? The 2nd fair catch was mid boggling could have easily been a huge return
