I think that list pretty much shows you how much a franchise quarterback is needed. Especially when looking at how good our defense was in the 90's.

All this tells me is that the Chiefs for the majority of the time have lost playoff games to future HOF QB's.

and being that it is possible for teams to make the playoffs and win without HOF Qb's, this argument really has no meaning.

Would the Chiefs like to have a franchise QB that eventually wins SB's and goes on to have a HOF career....of course......all teams would. But there are only a hand few of those to come around. Since 90's....you have,

Joe Montana
Jim Kelly
Steve Young
Troy Aikman
Dan Marino (never won a SB)
John Elway
Warren Moon (never won a SB)
Brett Favre
Peyton Manning
Tom Brady
***maybe Kurt Warner if for some reason a miracle occurs and the Cards make the SB, it would be his 3rd SB and would be hard to not consider him for the HOF***


So you have 10 QB's in the last 20 years, many of those Qb's were from the same era, which means a SB franchise QB is VERY hard to come by and theyre arent in every draft.

As of right now, Thigpen is growing within the offense and it's working so you stick with it and build on that. I am all for bringing in another QB or drafting one considering we are scarce of QBs on the depth chart. But I also don't think we use our first or 2nd rounder for that. This team has many holes and Thigpen isn't the problem or reason why this team isn't winning games.

Minus the horrible ATL game, this QB has been doing a fine job and for as young as he is, I'd take a 2-1 TD/INT ratio anyday, just as long as the INT doesn't result in a pick 6.

But every QB throws those here and there every once in a while so we can't exactly throw Thigpen to the lions if he throws one. He's gonna make mistakes because he's young, but what he's showed is that he's shown improvements every week in different areas, which it will take time to fully develope. Hell Tony G has faith in the guy, I bet he still wants to be traded, but now he's getting the ball and the O is moving along, now I can bet his feelings arent as strong.

Not to mention that NONE of the QBs listed above would be able to win a game with this ****ing swiss cheese defense.

The problem isn't Thigpen, and you can take that to the bank.

This team needs to fully invest the draft into players in the trenches, thats where games are won, esp on defense. We have no pass rush, and we can't fill gaps on running plays. This team has no chance in winning another game unless that improves.
