Thigpen reminds me more of Randall Cunningham. He's mobile, athletic and has an accurate arm. Mark Bradley has helped to transform this offense as well.
The reason the special teams sucks is again, a lack of depth. The Chiefs need at least 2 more very solid drafts before they have the appropriate depth to have stellar special teams. Great special teams generally consists of first and second year players that teams are developing, improving and fighting for their chance to start.
Unfortunately for the Chiefs, all of those guys are on the field and when they're not (i.e. Brandon Flowers today), the team suffers.
