I'll play Huckelberry.

Tough. Name me the last time the chiefs had healthy starter for eight games, let
alone a season. willing to block, willing to go for the qb draw on the goal. Strong arm, quick release.

Mobile. faster than he looks..runs for first downs, scrambles, throws well on the run.

Accurate. Bowe dropped alot of balls, yet still he and Tony had good seasons. this is the key area..as noted by zach, no OTA's, no TC..to deny this time with Wr's isn't vital is insane.

Adversity. this is huge for me...TG said he doesn't get down after a bad play...he ran the two minute drill pretty decent..the Jet's gaem comes to mind...

Smart. coming off the bench at number three and even scoring is positve. makes good decisions, needs work on reads etc...practice makes perfect

Cheifs...came into a cluster**** rebuild under Herm Edwards. Nuff said.

What I don't get is almost everyone on this board knew and expected to be pretty bad this last year, and then use the very thing they thought would happen and then flip it with high standards and then complain why someone isn't producing at a high level in his first gig on the fly.

potential=we dont know. draft a guy or thigpen it's the exact same- we dont know

That's untrue. Huard had a career game against the Broncos while under center.

Again, Thigpen may improve someday and have the ability to play under center.

But would you be willing to stake your reputation (and your franchise) on Tyler Thigpen if you were Haley, Pioli or Hunt?

I don't think so.

Drafting anyone is a risk. Drafting a quarterack may be riskier than drafting a linebacker, but they are also far more important to a team. To be a consistent contender in this league you need a franchise quarterback, and it is well worth the risk to draft one in the top 10 where you have the best chance of finding one. If you don't have a franchise quarterback, you don't pass one up in the draft.

Ironically, we didn't have anyone talented taking snaps behind that line under center.

Better than bad does not equal good.

yep IN COLLEGE

Untrue.

Stafford and Sanchez are bigger, taller and stronger than Thigpen. They've also been playing in a Pro-Style offense for at least three years (if not four).

Thigpen's been in the spread for the past three years because he can't read defenses.

I'm surprised it took 8 posts for someone to say "In Scott We Trust."

I see what you're saying, but I really have a hard time believing that just because Thigpen was under center that we couldn't get a yard on a handoff when we needed it, and we couldn't. Couldn't that be something more than Thigpen sucks from under center? Seems like there could be other factors like LJ/OLINE/Playcalling sucking.

Fine, draft Sanchez. I don't think he's that bad a prospect tbh. I just think Stafford is going to be an awful NFL QB.

Can a QB get improve after playing 8 games?

Anyone. Any single person is welcome to say yes or no.

Lets not forget that Chiefs defense....

maybe

I give you credit for carrying the water on this one.

However, you're pushing believability to claim that Thigpen is accurate and has a strong arm. His signature plays all year were to misfire badly on 15 yard passes and to under throw Bradley on sure touchdowns.

He's scrappy, no doubt, but he's a QB who lacks the fundamental skill set to build around. And this is the key point. It has nothing to do with impatient fans.

really 21-28 160 yards 1td= career game come on dane
