At number 3 the Chiefs should take a QB...

Everything on your list can be corrected with proper coaching. And honestly, I'm tired of the assumption that he HAS to play in the spread. When he was given significant time in the PS (against Arizona, and not running the spread) he did a decent job. 59% - 174 yards - 1/1 TD/INT in a half of play. We're running the spread for the sake of the OL and offense in general - not completely because Thigpen CAN'T operate a pro-style offense.

Again, I'm NOT saying the kid should be given the starting job.

But it's pretty obvious that the biggest issues people have with him is that he's a 7th round pick and that his biggest success has come from a "gimmick" offense.

I think sometimes you just like to disagree. You tell me, seriously, what you see in him and tell us why we should spend time on him to develop. I could care less if he starts next season as long as we have a prospect waiting in the wings. It wasn't all about the line, they said that they went to what HE knew how to run, though it does help the line out and they needed the help.

He has 11 games for us to see, and so far any 3 of the QB's that may come out has shown more.

So I would like to know what you see.
