The Thread that Claythan Hates
 

Claythan, here's an interesting situation developing....

If the Chiefs hire Mike Shanahan, the coach you've been wanting for so long, that could mean that Tyler Thigpen becomes the Chiefs' QBOTF.

While Shanahan seemed to like Cutler, Thigpen is the mobile, bootlegging QB that he's always loved.

Just a thought.

Coming to a post near you........ A Meltdown ROFL

Herms gone, why you still here?

Pioli isn't going to keep Thigpen as QBOTF I bet. The Chiefs are going to keep drafting QBs every year, that's according to Clark Hunt.

If Shanahan sees something in Thigpen, go Thigpen.

I do not hate Tyler Thipgen. I want him to succeed. I just doubt him.

Shouldn't you be on suicide watch?

Why? Did you sleep with my girlfriend?

You - Girlfriend? ROFL

Is your girlfriend a life size blow up doll of Herm in his red sweater vest?

ROFL

I'm just messing with you. But I also wanted to bring up that this could be a really interesting pairing. I always thought that if Plummer ever got his head out of his ass, he would have been a virtually unstoppable force in Shanahan's offense. When Plummer was on, he was impossible to stop.

Thigpen could be a very interesting option in a Mike Shanahan offense. While I'm sure Shanahan likes a Cutler-like QB, Denver hasn't been the same wild and wacky bootleg/misdirection offense that we used to know them for having. This kind of offense is actually tailor-made for a guy like Thigpen. Doesn't mean he's the best option, but it's something to think about.

Don't knock it until you've tried it

In all seriousness, though, I know reerun likes to give me shit, but he knows that I am far from being a Herm supporter--I don't think he deserves nearly the shit he gets, but I have said many times over that he never was a good long-term option for this team. Just to make that clear, because it seems to get lost somehow.

So, you recently slept with a blow up doll of Herm in his red sweater vest? :eek:

You need to be able to hit a target downfield. Thigpen hasn't shown that. The main thing a QB does is still passing the football.

While true, he already throws a better deep ball than Plummer, he'd be in an offense where the deep ball is a much lower priority than the short and intermediate routes (which Thigpen hasn't been bad at), and it would revolve around an offense where the trickery in moving the QB in all different directions opens up your running game.

As good as Cutler is and while Cutler is not a statue, it just seemed like that misdirection trickery has been missing in Shanahan's offense of late. Maybe that's why they haven't been able to run the ball nearly as well as they used to.
