Thigpen would have to develop greatly to get to Gut's level of suck.
And here's one major reason why Gut has much greater potential than the skeleton ****er ever will: Gut can throw an accurate ball, when receiving the ball under center, even!
Sometimes it's suggestive of being a real life NFL player.

It's pretty simple. Guiterrez has had access to oustanding coaching. He was coached by Bellichick and Josh McDaniels, both of whom are "quarterback makers." Guiterrez has been coached to play under center and is probably a lot more mechanically sound. What you see from Guiterrez is now is probably what you'll get 5 years from now. With good coaching and experience in a pro offense, he was still cut by the Patriots and is still taking last team reps with the Chiefs. He has a much, much lower ceiling. He is a career third stringer. At best, he's a future backup.
It's pretty simple. Given that Guiterrez has had a lot more opportunity to become better, it's safer to say his ability is close to maxed out. For Guiterrez the sky is the limit, for Thigpen the limit is the sky. So no, it's not saying that Thigpen after years of training will get to Guiterrez's level. The point is, the fact that Guiterrez is a much more polished QB and isn't a whole lot better than Thigpen right now (if at all) is a bad thing.
