Thigpen: 101.1 Passer rating over last 4 games
I don't think any QB in Chiefs history has started off this well, certainly not under these dire circumstances. KCJohnny This is funny. John Elway 1st year:

The opponents were not fellow 1-7 teams, ether. The last Chiefs QB who started out this well was Lenny Dawson for the '62 Dallas Texans. That's after rusting on NFL benches for 5 years and nearly quitting football.

I put him as my backup on fantasy, he is sure to do well. Any QB I start fails miserably but my backups play extremely well, for the team, I sat TT.

Against the Saints, if Herm lets Chan plan a good game, Thiggy should have his first 300 yd game.

Plus I kept Romo, while he was injured so I can start him. |

It's not nothing. It's also not everything. Here's to hoping he doubles it and has an eight-game stretch of such productivity.

Dorsey getting another sack or two, Dline beginning to gel to stop the run, and some of the 2nd stringers stepping up and making plays on defense. |

only thing I'm scared about is Brees and his arm. He could torch our D without Flowers and co not playing.
Even if we do lose though, just to see Thigpen play well would be great. |

Advantage is clearly to the airborne Saints and Brees' record shattering year vs our some-guy-in-a-Chiefs-uniform secondary. But Thigpen will hurt the Saints and the jury will be coming in on Thigpen as a legit NFL starting QB.

I'm not comparing the two but Romo and Thigpen have similar backgrounds, So a good QB can come from anywhere. Maybe, just maybe, Thigpen has jumped at his chance to play and run with it. |

I think it has more to do with the fact that there a lot of QBs who do well for a certain period of time. A season, a stretch of games, whatever, and then for some reason just fall off. I honestly think thiggy's got something special, but am trying not to get too excited about it until he keeps doing it.

I heard from a friend here that Thigpen has the most fantasy points in the last 2 weeks than any other QB in the NFL...is that right?!?!? Has anyone else heard that?? |

I really don't care if we win. I would like to see thiggy get a win, but like we've said before it's all about development, and the anticipation of Thigpen's next performance has really made Chiefs football interesting again.
