Chiefs What's with the Thigpen fixation? - Page 27

Mecca · 02-10-2009, 04:53 PM

Now I fully admit it isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be on this forum but I've yet to figure out this fixation with him. It's really bad at some other unnamed forums..

I honestly have no way of comprehending what it's about. It's like everything people said about Croyle has now been lumped onto Thigpen. "Well um he's the guy we don't need another QB"

The worst part is the people who don't want a QB this year then say well if Thigpen doesn't work out we can just take Bradford or McCoy, it's like peoples brains fell out.

I actually know that, but thanks. I'm so used to writing Meyers for business purposes that it's just muscle memory. Now that you've caught that, I'll have to look out for it.

Thanks again.

I'm sorry, when I envision a franchise QB for this team, I envision them being much better than any of those 3 guys.

And that's because you don't know how to rate QB's.

And furthermore, I'll ask again: Who said anything about wanting an average QB?

Please explain.

I said I wouldn't want one of those 3 guys as our franchise QB. I don't think I lumped anyone else into that, did I?

Now, I will ask you. Would you be happy with any of those 3 guys as our Franchise QB? Would you be happy with drafting Stafford or Sanchez if we had a crystal ball and could see that is what they would amount to? Clearly, they are "Pro Bowl" QBs, so what do you think?

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.

This is the year to get the damn QB, this year has the top 2 guys as pro style QB's next year is all spread monkeys.

Not to mention next year has an abundance of top flight defensive players.

One of what three guys? Harrington? Are you asking me if with the number three overall pick, I'd be happy with production similar to Joey Harrington's in Detroit?

What the **** kind of question is that? Do you think I'm a moron?

Are you asking me if I'd be happy if the Chiefs got the kind of production out of the number three pick as Bulger, Hasselbeck and Delhomme?

I'd have to say yes. Why not? Two Super Bowl QB's? I'd take that.

we heard you the first eleventy billion times.

There is 5 critcial positions that all championship teams have:
QB
Pass Rusher either DE/OLB depending on system
LT
WR
DT

Chiefs have 3 of those blocks (Albert, Dorsey, Bowe). Pittsburgh won it without a LT somehow, but look at most championship teams and they have key players at those positions.

Of course I'm not talking about Harrington. He was a bust at #3. Everyone but you knows that.

I was talking about Bulger, Hasselbeck and Delhomme.

Cool, that's what I wondered. I just don't feel that way. If we draft a QB at #3, I sure as shit hope he is better than the 15th ranked starting QB in the NFL. I want a guy like Manning, Brady, Brees.

Actually, in all 403 posts in this thread, I haven't heard one person say that they wanted to pass on a QB this year and draft one in 2010.
