What's with the Thigpen fixation?

This is just a question. No need to call me reeruned, or anything like that.

Everyone runs their offense in a spread from time to time. Three wideouts, shotgun, etc.

The difference is that those teams can also run their offense effectively with their QB under center. Why? Because the QB's that you mention (Warner, Brady, Brees & Manning) know how to read a defense.

Thigpen was horrendous under center against the Raiders, Falcons and Panthers. Furthermore, the Chiefs couldn't score in goal line situations when Thigpen was under center.

He's just not capable of running a Pro-Style offense at this time. Will he ever be capable? That's hard to say. But I wouldn't bank MY franchise on that risk.
