Football Just for fun Thigpen's first year vs Joe Montana's best year - Page 8

I think we are being a little hard on Thigpen.

Lets make a ludicrous comparison.

This years games started vs. Joe Montana's very best Statistical year ever.

Montana started 13 games in 1989. Super bowl MVP

If you take Thigpen's statistics as a starter this year and extrapolate them out to 13 games this is how they compare.

Montana 1989 3521 yards 26 TD 8 INT

Thigpen 2008 2844 yards 26 TD 13 INT

Lets see who did Montana have???? Well Roger Craig, Tom Rathman, Jerry Rice, John Taylor and Brent Jones. Oh and a great offensive line and a great defense. Will Thingpen ever be a Montana, Farve or Marino? not likely but, if he had been our 1st round draft pick instead of an unknown we stole off Minnesota's practice squad he would be getting a whole lot more love.

We have to remember Thigpen was one of the few bright spots (abit dull) during a dark, dark era.

He had some of the dumbest, ancient offensive minds coaching him. It's amazing he accomplished what he did.

So glad we don't have to hope a Tyler Thigpen develops. God, the difference between him and Mahomes is like upgrading from Lizzo to Margot Robbie

I remember enjoying the 2008 season. The losing sucked, but it was fun watching after Thigpen took over. We all knew they were going young and trying to develop. I don't think I missed a game the whole season, as it was entertaining watching the spread offense be implemented on the fly. I think Herm was shit, but that was his most entertaining year. I missed several games over the Pioli years, just because it was so unwatchable. 2008 was not that (except for the season finale).

Just makes me think how great it is that the Bears took Trubisky at #2 and then we were able to trade up and grab Mahomes!
