Shanahan loves strong armed QBs who can boot.
Thigpen isn't strong armed, and I question whether he can really throw on the run. All Shanahan coming here would guarantee is that Mark Sanchez or Matt Stafford is the Chiefs QBOTF.

Sanchez would also be an ideal QBOTF. Shanahan can make it work with Stafford, as he did with Cutler, but I just think a guy like Sanchez or Thigpen lets him open up the whole playbook. Sanchez isn't a mobile guy per se, but what has impressed me most about him is how well he throws on the run and how elusive he is when a rush is coming.

To me Thigpen has shown that under the right circumstances then he can fill in. He's not a QBotF, he's an adequate backup. That's more than he was when he came here. He was a last resort.

Why are we worrying about this when Shanahan coming here is pretty much a pipe dream.

If by "pipe dream" you mean the prolonged vegetative state you go into after being hit by one then yes...

Shanahan would take Cutler over Plummer. He would also take Stafford/Sanchez over Thigpen.

I think Plummer was absolute garbage, but there is no doubt that the Broncos' offense under Plummer was a lot scarier than it was under Cutler. Shanahan's playcalling during the Plummer era was masterful, even if the QB he had was pretty lousy and inconsistent. I don't know that I have ever seen an offense with so much trickery and misdirection in my life. It's interesting that Shanahan had so much success with Elway and Plummer, but limited success with Griese and Cutler--two guys who were more pocket passers than they were guys he can roll out. |

No ****ing way Shanny keeps Thigpen as a starter. He will want his Elway or Cutler. Thigpen is not even close talent wise to either of them.

I could understand to start the season... but not as the future.

And this is true of any competent HC in the league, not just Shanarat.

Absolutely. And LJ could be one of those down hill, cutback runners that Denver has thrived on. |
