Chiefs What's with the Thigpen fixation? - Page 13

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.

Ben Roethlisberger?

Because I know you weren't talking about Trent Green.

Please, share.

3 or 4 games...more than anything it I completely disagree with him coming out early and think it will hurt him.

any draft pick can bust. i'm all for sanchez being a chief but if we stay with thigpen i wont cry about it

The Chiefs won that game 33-19. LJ had over 150 yards rushing. This all happened because Huard had a great game, behind center and behind the same offensive line as Thigpen.

Face it: Thigpen can't play under center, Mr. Sauto.

I am off to dinner...I just want to take some time to thank Mecca for even having a conversation with me.

I really do appreciate him taking time for a few of us mere mortals here and there. Message board sports experts are to be respected.

But you can't claim that anything is more important than the QB. Say this aloud: "I'd rather have Willie Roaf than Peyton Manning." Did you hear how that sounded?

No, I'm just ****ing around. Obviously a guy like Peyton Manning is an exception.

Look, if Pioli thinks either of these guys is Manning, Brady, Brees, or a few other guys, then of course take him. I don't think ANYONE on this board would argue otherwise, at least I hope not. But if that guys is Jake Delhomme, Matt Hasselbeck, Marc Bulger, etc, who are all average to above average NFL QBs, I would rather roll with Thigpen and signing a vet to compete. Honestly in that scenario, I would recycle vets like Trent Green, Warner, etc.

But, if any QB in any year grades out to be a possible top 5 NFL QB, you do whatever you have to to get him.

Does no one realize that his stats for running the spread were kind of pathetic.

I think it's very strange to see people argue the spread was used do to the line, that's false.

The spread was used because Tyler Thigpen can't do anything else, it was because of him not anything else, it's time to accept that reality.

Why? Because Pete Carroll got all butt-hurt because it essentially ruins his chances at a National Championship next year?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: The next time I see Pete Carroll, I'm going to give him a ****ing cock punch for that horrible display he put on at the Sanchez press conference.

Leinarts arm is nothing compared to Palmer and Sanchez.

Does it concern that he was only a 1 year starter?

Well the old "lets throw the ball to Tony Gonzalez as much as possible so he'll like me" strategy isn't the best one.

You're the ONLY person I've ever seen refer to Pro Bowl quarterbacks as "average".

Your "standards" just don't make any sense.
