ALL things that not only can be improved upon with better coaching and more experience, but things you are ABSOLUTELY going to see in a rookie QB, regardless of where they were drafted. Eli Manning was the #1 overall pick, and looked like ass until the last 4 games and playoffs of 2007. Over 3.5 years after he had been drafted.

Your post proves my point exactly. People don't like him because he's a 7th round pick from a small school. Period.

And it will become even more obvious when Stafford, Bradford or Sanchez come in and make the same mistakes, but are afforded all the excuses that DON'T apply to Thigpen based on where he was drafted.

Huge double standard

NOT TRUE! Not for me, and I have NEVER said anything of the sort. I like him, I really do, but I don't believe he has the tools to be a viable starter in the NFL.

You tell me, do we give him a couple of years and find out? Do you see this in him to warrant this?
