Meh. He'd probably throw quite a few picks just because he'd be fooled by defenses. Having said that, what could it hurt. It's basically training camp now for next year.

I say put him in. Seriously, what is there to lose? But it won't happen, they'll start Stanzi before that. His accuracy is quite stirring, but as was mentioned, how will he perform under extreme NFL pressure? Methinks not too well. He's a circus act.

This. The chiefs season is done without hope. We may as well plug noob players in and find out whether or not they are a wasted roster spot for the future. Start weeding through all of them. Get them some garbage stats for trade value.

Yeah, I watched it last spring. I was really just commenting on the position of QB and how it relates to hitting a dixie cup from 20 meters.

He's impressive, no doubt. But that video was not live, it was edited for the obvious purpose.

Tanney is an interesting prospect, but let's be honest here -- playing QB in the NFL is as much or more about outsmarting defenses.

Oh yeah, I know. But we won't know what he's got until he's plugged in and told to do it.
Right now he's told to go fetch water.

Right now, he's IR and unavailable. Won't see him till next april.

I really like Trick shot. He could be another Curt Warner type story.

I don't understand why they didn't use him in the redzone more in preseason. If he can drop the ball on a dime, why not have 10 or so timing patterns for him to throw?

Oh, that's right, they would need to get in the red zone first. My bad.

do you???


It would be cool to see him on the field during THIS season, or perhaps in a preseason game though.

Well the op said he should get a serious look. The last thing I want is the fan base falling in love with some undrafted gimmick QB and thinking he has any chance to be our QB. (Thigpen). That is just giving the FO an excuse to draft a corner or ILB in the top 5

Yep. He's Thiggy with a youtube video.

Understandable... while Thigpen was way better than Huard, the hype surrounding him was way overblown. You could see quickly he was not anywhere elite enough to move forward with him.
