Chiefs Is everyone forgetting what it was like this year BEFORE Thigpen? - Page 6

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.

Here comes the next excuse...

That's a fine assessment that I have no problem with...I've brought up the pro set/gimmick stuff before people don't accept that either.

I think some just want to believe in anyone at this point aslong as there's hope I guess.

probably, but he did have injury issues. most thought he was snakebit, we all know thats false now. what underlying issues does thigpen have? not many, definately not injury

Mecca · 11-23-2008, 08:58 PM

I didn't even say Tyler Thigpen blows I said there's no way I'd pass on Matt Stafford in favor of him.

So why is it so important to attempt to dash hope?

Didn't you say that Thigpen would fail miserably after the Jets game, once teams had some film on him and this "gimmick offense?"

That was what, 5 games ago?

This place is so full of people who can never be wrong.

I will admit today I laughed when my Bills fan friend said to me....."your team is in one of those gimmick college offenses the pistol, WTF?"

Actually, there's really only one.

There are others that have very strong opinions, but they are willing to admit when they are wrong.

Hope is fine but lets not choose hope over intelligent decision.

And that's relevant to my comment, why?

C'mon, man. Stand by your comment. Teams have plenty of film on him, and he's still producing with no running game and a piss-poor OL.
