thigpen confirmed starter

[teamcool68]

thoughts - scared? angry?

i'm not sure how much worse we can look this season, i think i'm now fully prepared to weather the storm.

i have to admit i'm interested to see if thig looks any better after a week of reps as the confirmed starter.

Are you *so* sure that Huard gives us a better chance to win than Thigpen does? They each have one td pass to their credit and 0 wins between them. Thigpen has more picks, but at least one of them wasn't his fault. Huard's at the plateau of his playing ability, but Thigpen conceivably has the chance to improve given the chance to play against starting defenses.

We know what Huard can do, and this season's awash anyway. Let the kid show us if he has true potential or not while the perfect opportunity for it has presented itself.

Frankly it does not matter who starts, the way the line is playing no QB on this team has a chance.

I'm happy we're going to stick with one starter. Maybe this means Thigpen will get more reps which in turn would help him out during game time. Let's wait and see what he does.

i am glad he is going with thigpen and not huard.

i just cant stand to see the statue in the game!

even if thigpen makes a lot of mistakes...he is at least young. no reason to play a 35 year old qb on a rebuilding team. Just takes the emphasis off "rebuilding."

I'll agree with this, it's disheartening to see sacks off every blitz. With a mobile QB that can run away from a blitz, defenses might not play as aggressive, which could open up the run.

I am OK with giving the ball to Thigpen.

Thigpen should have been given the ball last year.

Run Thigpen, run!!!

i want to see what he can do with an actual start i am getting exited how cool would it be if he comes out and lights it up

[zro2gon]

hopefully better than Croyle...not a fan of him at all

Well hey, look at that. Some support for Thigpen. I truly thinks he gives us a better chance to win than Huard does just on his legs alone. From what I saw, his decision making wasn't horrible apart from the first two or three drives, which you can blame on jitters.
When they opened the playbook up, I thought that he did pretty damn well. I say GO THIGPEN, the REAL future of the Chiefs.... hopefully.

I completely agree. But I dont want to win just enough to slide into the playoffs on a wild card only to get handled the first game. That has been chiefs football for too long now. I love a winning record... but I want a superbowl. and Damon Huard will not be around long enough to get us there. I disagree with a lot of what the chiefs coaching is doing (mainly coordination, Both O and D), but it is time for these guys to sink or swim.

I guess what I am saying is that I want there to be no question at all to whether or not the chiefs have a QB by the end of the season that can do the job. I mean dont you?

I agree . It is time now to see where we stand with our QB's . In my opinion Brodie will not be the man next year! . I just read elsewhere that it might be 4-5 more weeks before hes back and ready to play. Which is basically like last year only playing like 5-6 games . Two years of this and him being injury prone will be his exit outa here . too bad , because as a person he is top notch.
