I don't think any QB in Chiefs history has started off this well, certainly not under these dire circumstances.

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.

And thats the shit of it, if we didn't have a beat up defense we might stand a chance. Dorsey is beginning to come around and Flowers is a force outside, and then Flowers goes down.

I heard from a friend here that Thigpen has the most fantasy points in the last 2 weeks than any other QB in the NFL...is that right?!?!? Has anyone else heard that??

As long as we lose.

This.

He has single-handedly saved the Chiefs season. Not win/losses, of course, but from a fans perspective now looking forward to the next game. He has made the Chiefs an exciting team again.

Exactly. We lost the last 3 games by 8 points total. We are a few defensive players being healthy from competing for a division title according to the competition in the league today.

At least some are noticing this, even a local broadcaster said that the Chiefs are a 2 pt conversion, a dropped pass, and a couple bad calls away from being the division leader. Saying "the Chiefs should not be 1-8, they should be 5-4"

I'm assuming he means Pats, Donks, Jets, Bucs, and Chargers. Cause the rest were...well bad.

I don't know if I completely agree with him, but its nice to know that someone in the media doesn't think we are completely inept.

We're not. We could win the AFCW in 2009.

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.

I think it has more to do with the fact that there a lot of QBs who do well for a certain period of time. A season, a stretch of games, whatever, and then for some reason just fall off. I honestly think thiggy's got something special, but am trying not to get too excited about it until he keeps doing it.

Thigpen seems to play better on the road...

I love that we went to the spread, and he will get to build up his confidence while he also gets plays from under center to bolster his experience. It's a win all the way around. I have to give some props to the staff for putting him position to excell.

I like it too, they taylored the offense to his abilities and something clicked.

Yeah, it's cool to see the staff do something right for a change.

That's why he said "over the last 4 games".
