This years games started vs. Joe Montana's very best Statistical year ever.
Montana started 13 games in 1989. Super bowl MVP
If you take Thigpen's statistics as a starter this year and extrapolate them out to 13 games this is how they compare.
Montana 1989 3521 yards 26 TD 8 INT
Thigpen 2008 2844 yards 26 TD 13 INT
Lets see who did Montana have???? Well Roger Craig, Tom Rathman, Jerry Rice, John Taylor and Brent Jones. Oh and a great offensive line and a great defense. Will Thingpen ever be a Montana, Farve or Marino? not likely but, if he had been our 1st round draft pick instead of an unknown we stole off Minnesota's practice squad he would be getting a whole lot more love.

Montana was a 3rd rd pick was he not?
