Chiefs Keep Playing Thigpen

Mr. Laz · 09-22-2008, 11:37 AM

i know i'm one of the few ... but i think we should continue to play Thigpen until Croyle is ready to come back.

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.

It's about selling tickets this week
I think huard sells better

**Bowser** · 09-22-2008, 11:39 AM

Well, what other choice do we have? Huard? Hagans? Dingle Martin?

On kind of a side note, who wants to bet that Huard gets released when Brodie is ready to go again?

**007** · 09-22-2008, 11:40 AM

I am not sure Joe Montana could look good behind this line.

**dirk digler** · 09-22-2008, 11:40 AM

It doesn't matter who plays QB this week we are going to get smoked by 30 pts

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.

Joe would be smart enough to "accidentally" dive into McIntosh legs to injury him, since McIntosh has decided that this is the one year he isn't going to injure himself.

Dude he was 1 for 11 for -1 yard and a pick. I could probably accomplish that and have never played quarterback in my life.

nychief · 09-22-2008, 11:48 AM

we don't really have a choice at this point. Huard sucks too.

nychief · 09-22-2008, 11:48 AM

INGLE MARTIN - at least he played at Fla... for a little while.

hehe

seriously though ... the right side of our offensive line can't pass block worth shitte

the left side of our offensive line has apparently lost all ability to run block. (yes Brian waters .... i'm looking at you)

WTF

triple · 09-22-2008, 11:53 AM

playing Thigpen is the right move.

ElGringo · 09-22-2008, 11:54 AM

I am in agreement on this one. I am not a "fan" of Thigpen, but the second half showed some hopes of improvement. I say let him go out there. If we are going to lose the game anyway (which most of the board agrees on), why not see what we have. I think he has calmed down, and my just be a viable backup. I don't think Croyle is really even a decent backup because he is so fragile. If the starter got hurt, you would immediately move to the third string.

I don't know if you all noticed this or not, but when he was showing signs of life it's because the falcons were playing soft coverage.

I did notice, and do agree. But that is still a confidence builder. If you continue to throw incomplete/interceptions, you continue to think that is all you can do, and get into a horrible cycle of fear and suck. Herm doesn't exactly help this cycle of suck with his play calling, but maybe we will see something. If he doesn't show anything in the first half against Denver, then I will be ready to give up on him completely. If he shows something, like I said, maybe a solid backup to a true QBoTF
