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.

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. |

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. |

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 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.

As much as we all rooted for Brodie Croyle, Cinderella Thigpen seems to be shattering all our expectations. Give credit to Chan "I'm not Herm" Gailey for getting the ball into the hands of his playmakers. Won't it be sweet if Tyler throws for 300 yds this Sunday and LJ runs for 150?

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. |
