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

The Elway comparison was based on this.

CHIEFS: DNP: CB Brandon Flowers (thigh), DE Tamba Hali (ankle), LB Derrick Johnson (thigh), G Adrian Jones (ankle), LB Patrick Thomas (thigh). LIMITED: RB Jamaal Charles (ankle), S Jarrad Page (groin), CB Patrick Surtain (quadricep). FULL: DE Turk McBride (shoulder).

I hope he is, I heard by another fan that he was out. Yahoo sports lists him as DNP also, so you may be right.

Let's hope, we need all the help we can get going against the #1 offense in the country.

Yikes. Ok, thanks. Not sure what we will do without Adrian Jones either...

We shouldn't read too much into it, just like he hasn'r been lighting up for long enough to get too excited. We need a faily large body of work to actually know what we've got, but it is promising.

Until then, we have a very impressive string of performances that suggest more than a diamond in the rough. Having superior weapons no doubt helps (TG, Bradley, Bowe, our RBs). But I smell Chan Gailey at work in these improvements.

Very True, the thought of Gailey taking control of this offense is very very exciting as a fan...

Does that mean Barry Richardson gets the thumbs up?

If the current trend continues, 2009 could be a very interesting campaign. Thiggy with a year under his belt could be the real thing.

Can't wait for April. Get Thiggy some protection and help/depth on D, might have ourselves a ball club!

The best thing that could happen to this team is that Thigpen is pronounced the 2009 starting QB and we draft desperately needed LBs and a DE.

I would love it. Who would you like to see taken with first pick assuming we draft 4th-5th position?

Oh, I am not a big college football fan. I just hope they scout well and they may have to take the best player available, just not a QB. We still have Quinn Gray in case of emergency.

I have seen the Samoan guy who plays for USC - he looks terrific - but I'd have to really study to see who is out there. I usually don't pay much attention to the draft until the NFL season is ended.

Who would you like to see drafted? Any faves?

I really like Rey Maualuga (USC MLB) but would be very happy with Brian Orakpo ( TEX DE), Michael Johnson ( GT DE), or Everett Brown (FSU DE).

I would love to see us take
1. Orakpo
2. Brandon Spikes (ILB FLA)

Or:
1. Maualuga
2. Tyson Jackson IF he is there if not Maurice Evans (DE PSU)

PhillyChiefFan · 11-14-2008, 08:12 AM

Either way, if we shore up our defense and provide another weapon for Thiggy's arm and of course a RT to replace McIntosh, I think we would have a solid draft that could load the Chiefs for years to come.

The best thing that could happen is that Thigpen continues to play at this level the rest of the season, and pronouncement is unnecessary.

And I am fairly confident Thipgen will.

I think we're saying the same thing: If Tyler emerges as the guy we can spend our top '09 picks where we need the most help.

Keep the offense simple for now, and work with what we have. It's working and more importantly HE'S working.

Back him up with Harrell or Cantwell (assuming Freeman doesn't declare), and get him another deep threat.

QB - Thigpen, Gray, Harrell
RB - Johnson (?), Charles, Savage
WR - DBowe, Bradley, D. Williams/B. Robiskie
TE - Gonzo, Cottam
