Chiefs What's with the Thigpen fixation? - Page 19

Here's a scenario I don't think the Thigpen supporters can defend: Thigpen keeps it on the option, gets hit in the ribs by a linebacker and is taken off on a stretcher. Croyle is our backup quarterback.

I would be shocked if Croyle is still here when the season starts....

Versus Sanchez starts, the O-line sucks and NFL speed plus experience as QB is too much and we have to revert to the back up because the O-line still sucks 3 years in a row.

Now we have 20 million guaranteed tied up and have to draft offensive players in a defensive draft year?

Thanks for the info SNR. It will be interesting off-season\draft around here if they stick with Thigpen and draft a QB in the lower rounds.

My problem with Cassell is I wouldn't throw those draft picks and that kind of contract at the next Matt Schaub.

As for Cullen Harper, he ripped Tommy Bowden after he was fired. He isn't the character player Pioli wants. I saw him lose his cool when Nebraska pressured him throughout the second half of the Gator Bowl. He went into the tank emotionally.

What's with the Thigpen fixation?

I was hoping the True Fans would take off to Miami or follow Herm somewhere. Never in my wildest dreams would I see a fanbase so against building a championship team...

Are they scared of the Chiefs might actually win something? Are they missing mediocrity already?

Brees might have a ring if the Saints could play some D.

That could be said for several NFL QB's.

I don't think Big Ben is the key for the Steelers. He's second to their defense.

Then you've never seen them play.

Explain to me how their defense gave up 407 yards in the Super Bowl but won the game because why again?

Oh yeah, Rothlisberger drove them down the field with less than 2 minutes to play to win the game.

Right.

Right.

There are even more examples of him not playing well and the Steelers still winning because of their defense.

The defense that gave up almost double their season average in the biggest game of the year, only to have BR drive 90 yards in 2:00 with broken ribs for the win?

So, do you also believe Roethlisberger superior to Brees because of that?
