Chiefs Tyler Thigpen (according to ron jaworski)

Ebolapox · 11-12-2008, 12:57 PM

was just listening to tirico and van pelt (espn radio) a few moments ago--and we all know that jaws is a bit of a chiefs homer (one of the few respectable national sports media guys who is), but--he came out and said (I'm paraphrasing, as I wasn't at my laptop right at that moment) that 'the chiefs have found their qb.' he quoted some stats, said he'd analyzed the film on him, and that he looks like a keeper.

as much as I'd LOVE for this to be true--I wonder how much of his annointing thigpen is because of his homerism, and I wonder if he was saying the exact same things about derek anderson. granted, jaws has been a good judge of qbs (he was all over cutler when he came out, when most of us weren't that impressed). and maybe it's my eternal pessimism when it comes to the chiefs--(that, and wondering how he'd do outside of the spread). but could it be? could thigpen be 'the one?'

and, sorry--no link. it'll be on the tirico/van pelt podcast I'd assume.

We'll see. Personally, I'm happy to enjoy the production and wait before judging. It's too early.

Nice.

BTW, i love Jaws show Playbook on EPSN. But they moved it to like the wee hours of Saturday/Sunday Morning.

WTF??

He probably will start next year too if we get a QB anyway, i hope he keeps it up, but im still iffy about him.

Esp if he is just good in a spread

ERG--rON jaworski. not rOM. goddamn.

and that's where I am on thigpen. I so WANT for him to be that QB. I want for him to be that qb for denver to hate like I hate elway. I want him to snap necks and cash checks in the afc west for the next 10-15 years. but I've been crushed one too many times to have any optimism . **** the chiefs anyway.

People are iffy about him because he was a 7th round pick. It's totally understandable, but at the same time you have to see that the guy has shown more ability than Brodie Croyle did the entire time he was here. If Thigpen finishes the year how he's playing now, he deserves a chance to keep the job next year.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 11-12-2008, 01:07 PM

CHEETOS!!!!!!

He's definitely got something. Chiefs fans are naturally going to be suspicious though.

The NFL Matchup show used to be really good, with Jaworski breaking down film, but ESPN has become so self absorbed that you don't get that much of the breakdowns anymore.

Playbook on NFL Network is better now, even of the guys hosting are useless bastards.

This.

Tyler Thigpen could end up winning out the rest of the season, and throw 30 TD's and uber Chiefs-Karma would somehow fuck us in the ass...like he'd give up football in the offseason because he thinks he'd be a great Formula 1 driver...

If Thigpen continues to play well, I hope the Chiefs sign Alex Smith and take a 6th-7th round QB.

Smith may have sucked in the cesspool that is the San Francisco 49ers but he was the master of the spread and would be a great backup, IMHO.

Plus, he'll come cheap.
