WTF IS HERM'S LOYALTY TO THIGPEN?!!!

[Frankie]

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?

Need I continue, Funny Man?

What you are saying is basically what I am saying. But where is the coaching for KC? Romo obviously received coaching. Lots of lower round QB's succeed in the league with the proper coaching either with sitting out for a few years or being thrown into the fire because of necessity. What I am saying is Dick Curl is not getting it done, Curl has no business in the NFL. No need to get your panties in a bunch.

I guess I fail to understand why people want Damon "Quitter" Huard to start over Thigpen.

I also wonder why people keep bashing Thigpen, yet it was obvious that he showed remarkable improvement in the 2nd half, compared to the first half. Yes, he throws INT's and some balls shouldn't be thrown into some coverages, but Thigpen is a 2nd year player. Damon Huard makes the same mistakes and he's been in the league for some 13 years.

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.

Exactly, most would receive the proper coaching to overcome improper fundamentals. Dick Curl needs to be gone...now! I don't have expectations for our young QB's to go all pro in a week but the way all of them have played should reflect on the coaching. Hell they had all off season and Brodie still sucked like a rookie before he was hurt.

How do you know "that he's not getting it done"?

It took Romo 3 Freaking YEARS to step foot on the field.

Thigpen has been forced in YEAR 2. GAME 2.

There's no way to compare.

It's not an absolute.

Do I even need to respond to this? What the hell are you watching? Are you related to Dick Curl or something? I am not saying Thigpin should be all pro but the fundamentals should be better. Look at what has happened with our QB's since Herm came in and D. Curl became the QB coach. Jeeze, I can't believe you are defending this guy. I bet the next coach you will be touting is the ST coach who should be gone too.

I don't want Quitter to start either. I wanted a solid NFL basckup. A "real" one like Joey Harrington or Phil Simms as a stop gap till Crouyle gets back. Huard or thigpin will never be our future so there is no backpeddling on rebuilding.

You're a dumb****.

Dumb. ****.

Please explain to me how at 7th round, waived player who's played against 1-AA competition is supposed to perform at a higher level than Thigpen has after being forced into a starting role.

Better yet, dipshit, please cite a similar incident. Stats, QB coach, and QB.

Or better yet, SHUT THE **** UP.

chill the **** out.

I got the impression early on Thigpen figured out if he threw a good pass and hit his guy in the hands they'd drop it so switching to scattergun was just an attempt to make his receivers happy.

Frankie,

It made no sense to me why Huard or Pigpen was even on the roster at start of preseason. I saw nothing in preseason that helped me see why Herm kept these guys. But, Herm sees these guys every day and has been in the NFL a long time so I assumed there was something I'm not seeing.

After yesterday I'm still not a Huard or Pigpen fan, but at least I started to see the ability that Herm, Gannon and Dawson spoke about the previous week. So I say until Croyle comes back let Pigpen play. He may turn out to be another Tony Romo for all I know. What I do know is Huard will not be on this team when rebuilding is completed so I see absolutely no reason for him to start.

[CoMoChief]

Jake Plummer is more accurate than Tyler Thigpen.

That outa shrink some of your chocolate stars

JOEY ****ING HARRINGTON?!?!?!?!? lol are you serious.

Some people on this board........Jesus Christ......

[CoMoChief]

Id rather have Jake Plummer on this team than Tyler Pigpen.

I've said this time and time again.
This team produces offensively with him at the helm.
That helps establish young offensive players more than 6 consecutive possessions where we could not obtain 1 first down.

Tyler Thigpen is young player who put the Chiefs in a position to score 4 times in his second start and scored twice.

He has a 38.3 QB Rating. He's thrown 4 Interceptions and could conceivably have thrown 3 more. In 2 weeks he's thrown more than a dozen passes that defenders have had their hands on.

This is the guy you're clamoring for?
Every NFL analyst worth his salt is baffled by Herm's allegiance to a QB who obviously isn't ready to play at this level.

Huard did NOT get hurt.
But if you'd rather pretend he did to solidify the argument for a bottom-feeder QB who doesn't deserve a roster spot on a team as bad as this one... Be my guest.

Regardless of his QB rating or what the talking heads have to say, Thigpen drove his team down the field twice and scored touchdowns yesterday and put them in a position to score twice more. He's grown from last week.

And you want to bench that guy in favor of a 35-year-old Never Was with a noodle arm? Seriously?

Huard wouldn't have last 3 series yesterday against that pass rush. Thigpen's running and escapability yesterday is what gave the Chiefs a chance to score.
