What's with the Thigpen fixation?

Accurate. Bowe dropped alot of balls, yet still he and Tony had good seasons. this is the key area..as noted by zach, no OTA's, no TC..to deny this time with Wr's isn't vital is insane.

Adversity. this is huge for me...TG said he doesn't get down after a bad play...he ran the two minute drill pretty decent..the Jet's gaem comes to mind...

Smart. coming off the bench at number three and even scoring is positve. makes good decisions, needs work on reads etc...practice makes perfect

Cheifs...came into a cluster**** rebuild under Herm Edwards. Nuff said.

What I don't get is almost everyone on this board knew and expected to be pretty bad this last year, and then use the very thing they thought would happen and then flip it with high standards and then complain why someone isn't producing at a high level in his first gig on the fly.

Thank you for taking the time to point out his apparent strengths. I respect that.

Now, on the flip side of that...

Do you agree that his weaknesses far outweigh his strengths?

And that those weaknesses may never be corrected because of the system he played in college?

Finally, do you see Tyler Thigpen having the potential to be a SB winning QB?

Because again, that's the goal.

Guys like Stafford and Sanchez are going to be drafted high because scout feel they have that potential.

Thigpen was taken in the 7th round.

(go ahead, someone break out the Tom Brady one-in-a-million scenario)
