Accurate. Bowe dropped alot of balls, yet still he and Tony had good seasons. this is the key area..as noted by zach, no OTA's, no TC..to deny this time with Wr's isn't vital is insane.
Adversity. this is huge for me...TG said he doesn't get down after a bad play...he ran the two minute drill pretty decent..the Jet's gaem comes to mind...
Smart. coming off the bench at number three and even scoring is positve. makes good decisions, needs work on reads etc...practice makes perfect
Cheifs...came into a cluster**** rebuild under Herm Edwards. Nuff said.
What I don't get is almost everyone on this board knew and expected to be pretty bad this last year, and then use the very thing they thought would happen and then flip it with high standards and then complain why someone isn't producing at a high level in his first gig on the fly.

I give you credit for carrying the water on this one.
However, you're pushing believability to claim that Thigpen is accurate and has a strong arm. His signature plays all year were to misfire badly on 15 yard passes and to under throw Bradley on sure touchdowns.
He's scrappy, no doubt, but he's a QB who lacks the fundamental skill set to build around. And this is the key point. It has nothing to do with impatient fans.
