Yeah, I think many of us look back at Thigpen wistfully and remember a gritty underdog that Chan Gailey did the best he could to design an offense around his strengths...but in the end the kid still went 1-10. There is undoubtedly a small percentage of players that never caught on in the NFL despite having the talent and intelligence, but never got their break. Thigpen isn't in the "might have been" category- but rather the "over-achiever / limited potential" category.
I know the screen grab is small-- but it's a jarring reminder of those times. |
