Chiefs Teicher: Chiefs QB Thigpen gets the starting nod against Falcons

We can adjust the offense to allow for maximum protection on Sunday.
That would be the smart thing to do regardless of who starts at QB.

Having Thigpen run around with the ball to avoid pressure is a bad idea.
That just gives Atlanta more opportunity to force turnovers.
You will never beat NFL defenses that way. Not consistently.

He's not a Michael Vick. He's not a Vince Young.
He can scramble a bit, but his legs aren't an effective way for this team to be competitive on Sunday.

This is the NFL. Not College or High School football.
