Let's say you are right. Do you think Haley will start him right away? Or do you think there is a chance that he will need some more experience before he starts?

Mark Sanchez has more under center experience and better feet and ability to drop back than Thipgen does so it wouldn't surprise me...

You could be right, but I don't think anyone will know until training camp (assuming they draft him).

Personally I would be for a QB competition and let the best one start. Of course at this point we don't even know what QBs will be on the roster at training camp. I would expect them to bring in an experienced veteran, if only for depth.

I would expect Tyler to get the start for the first year of our draftees tenure, but you never know.

With no idea of what kind of offense we'll be running, or how things go in camp, it's just too early to say.

Something would have to give.

They wouldn't ask Sanchez to play from the spread.

Thigpen can't play in a pro style offense.

Unless Thigpen can transition to a pro set over this offseason and during TC, I would not be the least bit surprised to see Quinn Gray, or a free agent pickup get the start for at least the first half of the season.

That was my second guess too. The thing is, if I knew for certain that Haley chose his starting QB using the same criteria as our last "coach", I could watch preseason games and pretty much know based on that alone.

But I'd say your scenario is the most likely.

Wow, that throw to Tony during the JETS game was sensational. It makes me think that we have a starting NFL caliber QB with Pigpen.

Oh my...:eek::popcorn:

You're asking for it now. The resident geniuses will be along any minute to attack you.

Look, here's the bottom line:

When we started all of this with Tyler, I reserved judgment until the end of the season.
The overall results were consistent, and as follows:

Despite effective first halves, ANY defense worth a shit was able to make adjustments at the half and shut the KC Pistol down. It was a highly predictable scheme.

The KC Pistol was absolute SHIT in clutch situations, ESPECIALLY those in the Red Zone.

Though some will say that run yardage increased under the pistol, it wasn't the kind of running game that could keep the defense off the field for enough time, or allow us to implement proper clock management.


It was an interesting experiment, but it wasn't football of a caliber that you expect from a Professional Franchise looking to build a Championship Team.

Or the resident dumbassess will be along any minute to beg and justify thigpen....
