They might. And they should considering the expectation of such. The fact is Thigy's first year was no worse than a lot of 1st round picks. The question is consistency and getting him under center. Unfortunately for the Chiefs that means having an O-line who can block in an under center style offense. We do not have that line.

The bottom line is this:

Thigpen deserves a chance to compete for the starting job in camp. He earned that this year.

He did NOT earn the starting job.

He must compete with our first-round pick.

Thigpen is not good enough to warrant passing on a quarterback.

Yes! This is the NFL, not ML baseball. With FA and the salary cap, there is no reason teams in the NFL cannot go from having a bad season to being in the playoffs the next.

Miami sure turned it around in a hurry. And other teams seem to be able to play for the current year and still build for the future at the same time. It is time the Chiefs start doing just that.

I agree and disagree. I am not convinced we need to draft a QB in the first round. But I do not think we ink Thigy as THE starter. But I want him to get a fair shot regarldless of who we draft or sign.

baltimore then and this year might just be baltimore again, just to name one

how injury prone was Trent Green when he played for us? the o line STILL got him killed

Uh, why not?

If there's a guy there who you think is a franchise QB, you take him. There's no reason not to. Thigpen isn't good enough to pass on any player who might be a franchise QB.

again baltimore is in the mix most years as is pittsburgh AND tampa bay all on their defense

Cause we need help everywhere else! A franchise QB isn't going to keep the other team from scoring. A franchise QB isn't going to set a record for the least amount of sacks. We have tried the "out score them" plan and it didn't work.

Thigy played well enough to win several of his starts if we had a defense to protect the lead. And if we had a RB who could pick up 1 ****ing yard when we need it to keep the drives going.

QB is still the most important position.

A better QB and we might have won 5 or 6 games this year.

explanation? maybe in the weeks we scored less the other team's defense was better than the weeks we scored more.
You keep acting like the offense scored less BECAUSE the defense gave up less points, IMO thats not the case, those defenses were better that the others LOOK IT UP

a better defense and we would have won 8 so which is better 5-6 or 8?

AND there is the very real possibility they could do worse

Cincy does not have a better defense than Miami does especially when half of their starters didn't play.

Are we still talking about the Chiefs? The 32nd ranked defense Chiefs? The Chiefs who had all of 10 sacks all year? The Chiefs who gave up 300+ yard like it was going out of style?
