Chiefs WTF IS HERM'S LOYALTY TO THIGPEN?!!! - Page 4

Frankie · 09-21-2008, 12:17 PM

The guy truly looks like a HS QB. Has no footwork. No accuracy, and no leadership. Yet he goes into this game series after series, as if he is a rare talent we need to develop. BREAKING NEWS: THIGPEN WON'T BE ON OUR ROSTER NEXT YEAR! Give it up! They acted asd if we stole him from the Vikes when we got him. I know the Chiefs were interested in him before the Vikes got him. My question is WHY? CP? Herm? Who was the genius who saw a diamond in the rough in this pos? Here's my guess: I bet our genius and overqualified QB coach wanted him. And of course when Dick Curl recognizes a QB talent who is to doubt it?

You know Dane? I actually have gut feeling he would. Thig (sounds like a Palin child!) actually throws off of wrong footwork.

Chiefs' fans don't care what round he was drafted in. He sucks... period.

Well, you're wrong.

Otherwise, Parcells would have started him over Quincy Carter, Vinny Testaverde and all the other schmucks that Dallas signed during that three year period.

Sean Payton and Bill Parcells knew Tony Romo was going to be good...he was on that team the entire time...Drew Henson was a Jerry Jones signing and was always 3rd string behind Romo...fans were getting pissed that Quincy Carter was playing and wanted to see the guy they gave up a 2nd round pick for, and the season was going nowhere so Parcells did his classic 'fine you can see what we see so you

' and Henson sucked...

They brought in Bledsoe and Romo continued to beat out Henson for the #2 despite Henson having a big contract...and before the final year Henson started the extended Romo before the season started because they knew he was going to unseat Bledsoe and wanted him to play for cheap the next two years so they could evaluate him.

Payton picked out Romo from the combine QB's that weren't even invites...just there to throw some passes. I wish we had an eye for talent at that position like Sean Payton.

(Didn't hurt that Payton was a stud QB at EIU...just like Romo...)

Romo sat on the bench for 3 and half years. Bill Parcells said that if Romo had been forced to play his first year, he'd be long out of the league.

Period.

Leave it here. Makes more sense than the Palin rips.

Dude, over the top, Frankie posts quite a bit in the Lounge. I would not expect you to see since you rarely post over there.

Then we'll compare.

How many other teams take a late rounders and actually coach them to be at least a effective NFL QB, not a joke NFL QB.

How about the Cowboys, for starters?

Undrafted QB.

Pro Bowler.

1-AA player.

Sat on the bench for 3+ years.

How about Gus Ferrote in Washington, now the starter in Minnesota? How about Matt Hasslebeck and Marc Bulger, two 6th round picks?

Need I continue, Funny Man?

To be fair to Thigpen, I really don't think there are too many 3rd string QB's sitting around the league who people would expect to come in and play very well. A lot of teams don't even have a 2nd stringer people would expect to play well.

On the flipside, he definitely can't be going 14-36 passing every week from here on out or we probably won't win a game. But hopefully Croyle will be back and we won't have to worry about it.

Halfcan · 09-21-2008, 05:22 PM

Pigpen is absolutely the worst QB since.....................Blackledge.

Well, not like it's going to put us in the playoffs. But I feel confident in saying that Croyle will complete 50+% of his passes every week.

I would like to see a list of QB's in NFL history that have thrown 30 plus passes in two straight games and completed less than 50% of them.

I'd be inclined to agree with you if I was confident he could play more than 1 game in a row without spraining his clitoris.......
