Just for fun Thigpen's first year vs Joe Montana's best year
I think we are being a little hard on Thigpen.
Lets make a ludicrous comparison. 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. |

Does this take into account the rate of increase of Thigpen's INTs?

This is just a linear extrapolation. It doesn't look at rates at all. He's just takes each number and divides by Thigpen's number of starts and then multiplies by 13.

Based on what we've seen he deserves a chance to start next year from day 1.
How about we just roll with that and see where it takes us?...

Nope just the games started. I could have cheated even more and thrown out the ATL game before we changed the offense. Naturally it is a BS comparison but, have we ever had a young QB that played any better in their 2nd year in the NFL? |
