Could have had Larry Fitzgerald.

If you're a big fan of the spread check this out...

"This is America, so we love to see the ball fly all over the place. But if you are going to make a living in the National Football League, you can't do it in the spread or shotgun formation, throwing the ball for 60 plays a game," Terry Robiskie said. "In the NFL, if you repeatedly leave those two tackles open, they are going to get beat. You can say it's a quick offense, and the ball is going to come out quick. That's accurate. But just as the ball comes out, that $80 million quarterback is going to get hit in his mouth and hit often. That's just the history of this game.

"On this level there are too many Jason Taylors and Bruce Smiths in this world, and they will be better than your best tackle."

You realize that Sanchez has superb footwork right now, don't you?

This.

Croyle was sacked 1 time in 2 starts: .5 sacks per game.

Huard was sacked 4 times in 3 starts: 1.3 sacks per game.

Thigpen was sacked 21 times in 11 starts: 1.9 sacks per game.


Thigpen got hit WAY more, which is what happens in the spread, yet he stayed healthy.

The Chiefs could have won the Super Bowl in the 90s if.... lots of things.

There are guys that were taken with top 10 picks from the spread that could never figure it out yet we're suppose to believe Thigpen can, I don't understand that.

I'm not remembering, so I'm not going to be intellectually dishonest with a reply.

I just remember thinking that game was a disaster, and I recall the scared talk going into the Jet game (even from Tony G. as a matter of fact) as a result.

No doubt, the spread hasn't done Jack S&^%.

Thigpen never had 60 attempts last season.
The closest he came was 54.
Aside from that game he never had more than 38 in any one contest.

And I'm not arguing FOR the Chiefs staying with the Spread.
I'm just saying.

I'm pretty sure the post you quoted says playoff wins, does it not?

Many QB's win playoff games.

Very few win SB's.

So no, I don't think winning a SB is a good barometer.

But you ought to be able to win some playoff games, and give your team a chance at the big game.

Why can't Gus Frerotte improve?

60 is an purposely exaggerated number....it's saying when you are throwing at a 2-1 even 3-1 rate out of the shotgun constantly you are begging for your QB to get beat around.

The quotation says "60 plays" not "60 pass attempts," FWIW. Slight difference.

Now pull out the 13 sacks in games where Thiggy was not in the spread....

Is that coach currently working?
