Chiefs What's with the Thigpen fixation? - Page 4

Mecca · 02-10-2009, 04:53 PM

Now I fully admit it isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be on this forum but I've yet to figure out this fixation with him. It's really bad at some other unnamed forums..

I honestly have no way of comprehending what it's about. It's like everything people said about Croyle has now been lumped onto Thigpen. "Well um he's the guy we don't need another QB"

The worst part is the people who don't want a QB this year then say well if Thigpen doesn't work out we can just take Bradford or McCoy, it's like peoples brains fell out.

And for doomy he's really not decent sized, by NFL QB standards he's short.

You still treat the NFL game like math.

Was it rational for the Cards to go to the Superbowl?

Considering their talent level...

So you should just buck trends and buck odds.

You must hate when I say things like you play to the rule not to be the exception to the rule. But hey that's fine you'll just get burned more often than not.

I don't hate anything you do.

You overestimate your role in almost everything.

Playing to be the exception has really worked for this team, like signing a RB to a 2nd contract.

The NFL has become like college basketball and the MLB, whatever team gets hot in the postseason wins it all. In that regard, the Cardinals run isn't so unbelievable.

Though I don't see what connection it has to banking the future of this franchise on Thigpen beating the odds and developing into a franchise QB.

Some sort of underdog thing I'm sure, this market loves underdogs and puts unrealistic hopes in those players.

We could be another team that drafts a USC player high that busts.

It'd really suck to have Troy Polamalu, but hey atleast USC players get drafted.

Well it looks like you don't mind bringing up exceptions either.
