Why Thigpen?

I've had a bunch of people ask me why the fins traded for Tyler Thigpen instead of signing a guy like Jeff Garcia.

The answer is deceptively simple: Miami is building a future. Henne is being given the reigns and he's got a couple of young guys behind him. The upside is greater.

If a guy like Garcia was here, Henne would always being looking over his shoulder. And the fans would clamor for him as soon as there was a problem.

Now Henne can grow. For the future.
