The point is that Gailey had to come up with a completely different offense in order to get something out of Thigpen. I think we can all agree that the guy wasn't comfortable in a pro offense.

Or is it because Thigpen didn't really play in training camp so they had to make him comfortable in any way possible? The guy barely got any snaps at all, its hard to think he'd come out in an offense he isn't used to and sling the damn ball all around. Especially with Penis Curl as the QB coach. It's like if Bowe missed training camp during a time when we are using FAST blazing WRs. When he comes back, we would have to switch up a bit to make him more comfortable. Does that means he sucks? No it just means he isnt acclimated to the play style. That's the point of training camp. To get people to know the team style. You cant come in half way during the season and expect to play how every other qb plays. You have to change the playbook to your liking. Maybe next training camp you can work on the things you missed.
And maybe, because the TWO qbs before him had been injured in that style, we stopped running it. McIntosh was letting every D-End get through the line. So dropping back wasn't really an option.
But who knows, we now have a coach who knows offense, and we have a new qb coach. You guys bashed Penis Curl last year, yet you expect Thigpen to be great under him. You cant have a good student if you have a horrible teacher.
