Chiefs What's with the Thigpen fixation? - Page 33

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

So yeah, I'll take Big Ben any day of the week. And apparently, you've never watched Pittsburgh because for one, their offensive line is worse than the Chiefs and two, their running game isn't much to speak.

Yet all Ben does is will them to wins.

Their running game isn't much to speak.

3 Pittsburgh Steelers
10 Pittsburgh Steelers
5 Pittsburgh Steelers
2 Pittsburgh Steelers

Wish we had no rush to speak of.!

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.

Drew Brees has been the QB of a team that is alot like what the 2003 Chiefs were. All O and no D. I don't put that on him I put that on Sean Peyton and the front office.

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?

have you ever seen them play, other than the super bowl? you do know they played an entire season before that, right? their defense is pretty mother****ing awesome.

Except that when they really needed offense, they blew it in the NFC Championship.

I'm by no means saying that Brees isn't statistically a great QB, but there's more to a winning QB than stats.

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

I'm not sure where you got those numbers, but the Steelers were ranked in the bottom quarter of the league in rushing this year.

Yeah, their defense is great but without Ben, they don't win the Super Bowl.

Plain and simple.

I don't know where he got them, either.

The Steelers had the 22nd ranked offense in 2008.

I definitely agree with that.

Yeah, I do.

Is Joe Montana "superior" to Dan Fouts or Dan Marino?

I think so.

Yep I agree with that too. Montana never did put up the biggest stats but when it came time to make the big play or play great in a big game he was money.
