This team has holes. Lots and lots of holes. If Thigpen shows decent play the rest of the year, going into next season with him as the starter is not the end of the world. Continually drafting young talent on the O-line, LB, WR would not set this team back one bit.
Fans of this team has lost sight of how long it can take a QB to get it. Look at Kyle Orton. He is playing pretty damn well for Chicago right now, but he is only started about 20 games for them in his career. It took Drew Brees almost three full seasons in San Diego with a team that was as bad as these current Chiefs before he turned in around and started putting up good numbers
As long as Thigpen isn't making the same stupid mistakes in game 16 that he made in game 2 and shows improvement the Chiefs shouldn't be giving up on the kid. He's got good size, mobility and a strong enough arm. I watch him play and he reminds me of Rich Gannon, who BTW, took a few years to blossom as well.

Um...yeah. This is the way I see it too. I was telling my son last night about how Thigpen reminded me of Gannon in some ways. As far as I'm concerned, the starting job is Thigpen's to lose. Plus it is making the season a little more fun now. At least for a Sunday or two.
