Football WHITLOCK - DeBerg is a quarterback guru - Page 3

I would have loved to hear Deberg's answer on if he thought Thigpen has what it takes...

Thigpen really needs to improve his accuracy. That's a downfall with him. He let's the ball sail on numerous occasions, and you just can't do that in the NFL with how athletic defenders are.

The second thing Thigpen needs to do is make plays from under center. I don't believe any offense can be successful or an extended amount of time in the I-Gun. Play-action is too big of tool to not have that in your offense. It helps the running game, and gives you a legit shot at the home run ball.

If Thigpen would have shown these assets last season, it would be easier to pass up a Stafford or a Sanchez at #3.

DeBerg was always the guy that got pushed aside for the big star. He was passed over in favor of Joe Montana at both the beginning and end of his career. Despite the toughness and football smarts, he just didn't have the skills to be a top flight QB. That said most of the best coaches were guys themselves that didn't have the talent but had the knowledge. Do you think Brodie Croyle might have had a better shot with DeBerg as his coach?

55 and a newlywed? This guy would be a great pick for QB coach if he were available.

Actually he got pushed to the side by Dave Kreig in KC, who in turn was pushed aside by Montana.

He is one QB I really miss for several reason..

#1 He was "old school". Will never forget when he broke his finger, went to the sidelines had it set/taped and went back in. Then played the next week with a metal pin sticking out of it. a REAL tough guy.

#2 He could sell play-action like no other QB.

#3 He was a TEAM player, no ego there

#4 A genuinely nice guy

#5 Did I mention "old school"?

Im not even going to read this. I just want to reiterate that I think he is an ignorant asshole.

Joe montana would be an awesome QB coach too. I also think Archie Manning would be a good QB coach. Not only did he play QB, but has also done a pretty good job teaching his boys how to play the position.

Finally read this. Didnt know his chunky butt could backpedal that fast. Its like reading Woody Paige. Christ, pick a stance and stay with it.
