No one is thinking this will be Thigpen's normal game. But the fact that he CAN play this type of game, means he's worth developing, by giving him all the playing time we can, even when he inevitably has some poor efforts.

While I agree with another poster his presence might 'undercut' a Thigpen, perhaps the Master Psychologist Herm is using reverse pscyhology, i.e., using a Daunte to push motivate our man Thigpen to even greater heights than on Sunday (too, Herm was a Psych major before he switched to Criminal Justice since he foresaw the skills being a coach of the modern day 'players' would require.) Tyler may turn back into a pumpkin by noon Sunday but until that day, he looks (facially) like Tony Romo and on field like Lenny Dawson with his roll outs/accuracy. Too, one can never have enuf 260, 265 or 270 lb DE-sized QBs on the roster (Culpepper and Quinn Gray are as large/larger than DE Tamba Hali.) KC can always use either as an o or d lineman in a pinch. Really...heh heh heh :-) I too do not favor Daunte ‘Love Boat’ Culpepper climbing aboard the Chiefs.

If Herm doesn't want him, he should say so(Publically) and then it won't be done. If Herm is too gutless to do that, then all he has to do is state publically and unequivocally, as he should have done when Croyle went down the 1st time, that this is Thigpen's job, in this case for the rest of the year, instead of when Brodie returns, and Duante will get the message and look elsewhere for possible playing time.

This sounds like a Peterson move to me. Bringing in a guy who has some flashes of greatness in the past and thinking he can revitalize his career in KC. Don't do Carl. This guy was washed up in OAK and MIA. Thigpen was one of the quarterback along with Brodie Herm chose to develop let the process continue on. The guy has earned the right. That was a heck of a game for a guy second start in the NFL. That just doesn't happen to guys who are garbage quarterbacks. The guy has the talent strong arm and mobility. I jus been saying he needs to be more accurate and he will be fine. Now he jus needs to learn how to continue that and throw the ball away instead of taking sacks. As for Culpepper the guy is a turnover machine. He was a fumble machine dating back to his days in Min. He hasn't proved he can be a productive QB without Moss. Besides he doesn't have the mobility he once possess in MIN and playing behind that o-line he want be any different from Huard except for either throwing interceptions and fumbling the ball.

Thigpen is the man, and should have the rest of the season, barring injury, to show whether he can be the starting QB next year. You bring in Culpepper, you're undercutting Thigpens' confidence for no reason. Culpepper signs, you're going to start him eventually, and you're just waiting for Thigpen to struggle, which he will do because 1)We're not so good, and 2)QB's struggle, even vet QB's. But you let them play through it, especially in our situation with a young QB like Thigpen. Signing Culpepper would again show, as if we need any more evidence, that Herm has no idea what he is doing. It would be INSANE to bring in Culpepper, just as it was nuts to play Huard.

The coaching staff is simply trying to not leave any stones unturned. They are not interested in him as a starter. Congrats to Tyler on a very good game. The Jets D is no slouch either. A bigger test is coming though and hopefully he has built some confidence and will have another competent game. Fingers and Toes crossed!

If anyone had been told going into the game the Chiefs would be +3 in turnovers, and Thigpen would have had a QB rating of over 100 against a team that lost last week to Oakland, would you believe they would still lose? Smith's longest run of the day was 4 yards, yet on 3rd and 4 we try to run again. The Chiefs are not going to make the playoffs obviously, why not stop being conservative when we actually have a game that is in reach and try to create an environment of winning. The Chiefs young players deserved a win yesterday, the coaching staff was just too scared to take it. I personally am now very excited to see what Thigpen does this week. He is going to go up against a very tough defense, and it will be interesting to see if he is able to keep consistent, and most importantly, protect the ball.

Give the guy a chance to settle in and see what can happen with some stability. Since he didn't get hurt on any of the plays maybe he is durable enough to be the starter.
