Chiefs Is everyone forgetting what it was like this year BEFORE Thigpen? - Page 3

Mr. Laz · 11-23-2008, 07:25 PM

Game ----- Pts , Opp, Def Rank

1st game - 10 pts @ Pats, 9th
2nd game - 8 pts Raiders, 23rd
3rd game - 14 pts @Atlanta, 11th
4th game - 33 pts Broncos, 27th
5th game - 0 pts panthers, 3rd
6th game - 10pts titans, 1st

12.5 ppg, 12.3 def avg rk

it looked like we would never score 100 pts this season

Thigpen becomes starter

7th game - 24 pts @jets, 16th
8th game - 27 pts buccs, 4th
9th game - 19 pts @chargers, 19th
10th game - 20 pts saints, 24th
11th game - 30 pts buffalo, 14th

24 ppg, 15 def avg rk

not bad for a guy who has only started 5 games in his life and who didn't face top competition in college.

But he wasn't a top 5 pick.

We were losing before Thigpen was forced into a starting role. We continue to lose. Of course I don't put all that on Thigpen. We know the D is bad. We know the coaches are the worst in the league.

Today, I thought he was pretty bad overall. And I say that because the game was still in the balance when he tossed those picks.

He's the perfect QB to finish out the worst season in franchise history. There's no real pressure. It's not anybody expects him to win. That's why true fans are so enamored of him.

And really, I don't see much Daniel stuff posted here anyway.

Yeah I think people have stopped talking about it since Daniel hasn't been as good this year as his fans talked him up to be.

Sometimes you just get lucky. It's rare, but it happens. Maybe it happened for us, for once.

Dude if you are -3 in the Turnover category you will lose almost every single time.

When you use "Quote", generally people assume someone somewhere actually said what you're quoting.

Did you see Nap Harris doing well in Minny today? *SIGH* (I'm still glad we got rid of him.)

I'd rather have Brad Smith
than Chase Daniel

How exactly was today a "bad" day for Thigpen?

Atlanta was a "bad day."

Sure, compared to the last 4 games, today was a step back. But even then, it's not like he had more turnovers than TD's.

The kid is basically a rookie 7th round pick from Coastal Carolina, and over a 16 game schedule, his stats would put him on pace for a 3500 yard, 32 TD/16 INT season.

Even seasoned QB's have rough games.

Cut the kid some ****ing slack.
