And for this he'll likely need a wand.

This isn't an easy thing to do. I know it's in vogue to bash Curl--I'm as guilty of this as anyone--but if it were simple, even he'd have been able to accomplish it.

You realize that Sanchez has superb footwork right now, don't you?

There are guys that were taken with top 10 picks from the spread that could never figure it out yet we're suppose to believe Thigpen can, I don't understand that.

Bullshit.

Anyone that thinks that a QB coach can turn an untalented, weak-armed player into a Pro Bowl, Super Bowl player is a moron.

I do agree with this.

I have never seen QB coach more glorified or demonized in the case of Dick Curl as on this board. It's absurd.

People act like Dick Curl ruined the team, it is hilarious.

I've not went on record claiming as Thigpen as our QBOTF.

But, personally I like the kid because he exceeded everyone's expectations. I think most of us can agree with that. Some of that can be attributed to Gailey's gimmicky offense. But, after watching the Atl game I had no hope so whatsoever.

He proved me otherwise.

**dirk digler** · 02-10-2009, 06:37 PM

I think whatever team drafts Sanchez they will sit him for at least a year.

Mecca · 02-10-2009, 06:37 PM

Yea Rivers totally sucks...oh shit wait.

Who said that?

You don't think the Chargers would be better with Brees?

And what are we waiting for? For Rivers to win a Super Bowl?

pikesome · 02-10-2009, 06:38 PM

Why can't we start Thigpen and let Stafford/Sanchez sit? If they beat him in TC, cool. If not, letting Thigpen start doesn't seem like it can hurt the team (unlike starting Huard and not finding out Croyle was "delicate", damn you Carl!). Maybe we'll get lucky and Thigpen will learn/play himself in to a fat trade in a year or two and "the other dude" can lead us to bigger and better things. Or we Brett Farve the new dude and ride Thigpen to glory.

The spread accomplished two things: 1. It covered up a pretty bad O-Line 1a. It gave Thigpen a better view of the field.

The spread has benefits, and I believe it will continue to grow due to the NFL tying the hands of the D-Backs ehhh, behind their back. The way PI and illegal contact are called is going to contribute to the spread becoming more wide-spread (no pun intended

).

When it comes to putting games away and the red zone, the spread shows it's weaknesses, though.

Thigpen will get his shot, so don't worry.

"This is America, so we love to see the ball fly all over the place. But if you are going to make a living in the National Football League, you can't do it in the spread or shotgun formation, throwing the ball for 60 plays a game," Terry Robiskie said. "In the NFL, if you repeatedly leave those two tackles open, they are going to get beat. You can say it's a quick offense, and the ball is going to come out quick. That's accurate. But just as the ball comes out, that $80 million quarterback is going to get hit in his mouth and hit often. That's just the history of this game.

Thigpen never had 60 attempts last season.
The closest he came was 54.
Aside from that game he never had more than 38 in any one contest.

And I'm not arguing FOR the Chiefs staying with the Spread.
I'm just saying.
