listen for sec
Thigpen was a 7th round draft pick out of a division 2 school. The school he played at was in their FIRST year of having a football team.
Dude .... it's perfectly understandable for Thigpen to be overwhelmed and a bit scared. He's playing on an offense with a shaky Oline under a coaching staff that's moronic at best.
what do you expect?
even the best QB's lose their accuracy when they are nervous about the pass rush. Ben Rothlisberger turned to complete crap yesterday when he started getting hit.
Thigpen has showed flashes and he's not fragile ... he can run around and get get killed by our offensive ineptitude.
i know it sucks but at least we are developing a solid backup.
and who knows .... when/if he gets over his nervousness and when/if our new offensive lineman improve, he may just pull it together.
how can you blame any QB when he's playing under Herman Edwards .... our coach is a QB killer. He could work for the Grim Reaper he's killed so many NFL Quarterbacks.
just say "no" to Huard and Inglebert humper Martin is a complete unknown and new to the system
patience people, Thigpen should stay in until Croyle comes back.

You are not alone I'm in full agreement. I am not a Pigpen fan, but he looked much better yesterday in Atlanta than the week before against Oakland.
This is a rebuilding year and now is the time to find out if players like Pigpen can get the job done. I'm expecting big things from this team in a season so then need to know what they have before end of season.
