What's with the Thigpen fixation?

Tyler Thigpen threw 18 TD's in 11 starts this season as a, for all intents and purposes, rookie QB who took no First Team reps during the off-season whatsoever.

Yes, he threw them in a Spread Offense, but that offense was installed in the middle of the season.

Obviously the accuracy is a concern.
And in the NFL it's not common for QB's to make drastic improvement in that area.

For that reason, alone, the Chiefs should draft or sign a FA QB, install a more conventional offense, and let them compete for the job.

To shit on what that guy accomplished given the circumstances is just silly.

if our receivers caught half of the balls that hit them in the hands and he's over 60%
