THIGPEN AS THE STARTER
 

To compare Thigpen to others as if he had been the starter in the spread offense from the first game (extrapolating out his current stats) he'd have 3,375 yard on 288 completions from 490 attempts (for a completion percentage of 58.8%). He'd also have 25 TDs against 13 INTs and a passer rating of 85.71.

That would rank him as the number 9 or 10 passer in terms of passing yardage, number 6 for TDs thrown, and number 17 for passer rating.

Don't understand why others don't think he's played well enough to be the starter. He's a rookie -- give him some time (and some better coaches) to improve his game.

Why do so many Chiefs fans settle for absolute crap?

Is this in response to Thigpen, or our previous quests down the 'pile of shit QB' trail?

Becuase we need help in other areas even worse. We scored 31 points, yet we gave up 38 points. Any offense shouldnt need 40 points to have a chance to win.


Thigpen needs some things to work on no doubt, but he shows flashes. Our defensive line hasnt shown flashes of shit. They SUCK. They are the worst defensive line in the "HISTORY" of the NFL. Look at the word history. Out of all the bad teams over the years, they are dead last.

Grbac threw for over 4000 yards in a season

the problem was that he was Elvis Grbac

We also had 6 games against the AFC West which would help anyone...

Thigpen is not the problem of this team, but he isn't the answer either.

Pass Rushers
Linebackers
Offensive Linemen

Then QB.......

because they fans are going to hold on to mediocrity even after Carl is gone, 20 years of brain washing will take years to correct....

Thigpen needs to earn it next year with a real NFL staff and a proset offense. He needs to learn how to read and make choices from under center.

We will NEVER win anything if we cant get under center in the redzone. Sorry it just wont happen.

Besides, no need to argue it, we dont know whom the GM or HC is so its a moot point until then...

We wont win anything either if your defense is giving up 38 points at home. I dont care who your QB is you have to be able to stop the other team. Thats why they say, defense wins championships.

Trent Green was pretty good too once, but the Defense shit in his face.

Yep, I think we all remember that Play off game against the Colts where we were scoring at will, yet they were too. DIdnt do us any ****ing good if you cant stop anyone.

As much as Thigpen did well today (300+ yards), I'm afraid he's the Bobby Fuller Five of the NFL: One season wonder. If he's as healthy and he beats out the upcoming 2nd rd draft pick during camp, is healthy next pre-season, and gets 3/4 W's, then he'll be a good QB next season.

Thiggy will be so far under the microscope, that they will cure at least two diseases before putting him on the field.

Herm got one thing right
we know he is a #2
being a #1 is up for debate

I don't understand this. We're number 13 in red zone offense - scoring touchdowns .550% of the time (the same percentage as before we went to the spread).

Cover 2 sucks with our guys...... No DL pressure.

Seriously, we haven't been in much cover 2 because we have no pass rush.
