Chiefs Would you trade Tyler Thigpen for Kyle Orton straight up? - Page 2

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 08-19-2009, 09:45 AM

I wouldn't. I wouldn't touch that turd with a 10 foot pole. How about you? Let's let the Donko homers know where we stand on their shitty quarterback.

Same way a man would.

Yes. Orton is reasonably accurate and his three-pick game is being overblown. He's never been a turnover-prone QB.

Thigpen...unreasonably inaccurate and has always been turnover prone.

Fish · 08-19-2009, 10:04 AM

I would. Orton would be much more versatile than Thigpen would. If I'm looking for a decent backup QB, I'd rather have one that didn't require a custom offense installed just to be somewhat productive....

Yep. Not even Tom Brady or Peyton Manning have thrown 205 consecutive passes without an INT like Orton did last year.

In 2008, Orton and Thigpen both had 12 INT. Of course, Orton had more attempts. YPA is almost equal, with Orton having the slight advantage. Both threw 18 TD's, and Orton got sacked one more time than Thigpen. They actually look pretty closely matched according to stats. Of course, Orton has a few more years experience in the NFL.

Hammock Parties · 08-19-2009, 10:26 AM

It's pretty much an irrelevant conversation.

If your starting quarterback is named Thigpen OR Orton...you're ****ed.

Can he return punts...er.. .kickoffs?

Orton had an 89.1 QB Rating before he hurt his ankle week 8 last year. He was injured the entire second half of the season.

We'll find out how good or bad Orton is when he's asked to win games this year.

My guess is that his ints go up and his rating goes down,

CoMoChief · 08-19-2009, 10:50 AM

Hell no. Thigpen actually has the better arm and is more athletica and can make plays with his legs better than a lot of starting QB's around the league.

**Mr. Kotter** · 08-19-2009, 10:51 AM

Nope. Thignpen has more upside....and burst.
