More on the Chiefs quarterback situation; in case you missed it Tyler Thigpen in his second start for the Chiefs on Sunday in New York against the Jets, went 25 of 36 for 280 yds with two td’s, no interceptions, and 20 rushing yards. In what could be a twist of fate for the Chiefs, they may have found a quarterback suited for Chan Galley’s offense. He can run and pick up a first down or avoid the sack, he has a quick release and an almost too sharp delivery, he seems to be a great run and shoot style, spread offense quarterback.
Hopefully this is more than a fluke, Herm Edwards and Carl Peterson owe it the rebuilding movement to let the kid play so we can find out, he earned it with his performance on Sunday. And judging from the reaction at The KC Star under the comments section in an article about his performance, at least some Chiefs fans agree with me. Yes we lost but at least we had an offense that looked fluid at times and moved the ball well, you geniunely had a sense that Thigpen was leading this team, and doing it well, and I think fans responded to that. Let the kid play, forget all this talk about Daunte Culpepper or the recently signed Quinn Grey taking over any time soon, Thigpen has earned the starting job, at least for a few more weeks.

The Chiefs are so bad that it’s not really matter. I say give the young guy a chance.
