Thats crazy talk, 4/6 64 1td. He's the man....

:theman:

:whistling:

 

So does Mort and Schef...u see that at the half of yesterdays game....?

For those who didnt, basically they said that Thiggy is the best QB Miami has on the roster...

 

From listening to the various interviews the last couple of days , the team/players like his arm , think he is throwing well in practise and the coaches feel he has good field vision when he extends a play.

That is or can be a key imo , it is not overly beneficial to just extend a play by scrambling , but to be able to see how passing lanes have been created by this and then execute is.

Thigpen also stated he and Marshall have a good relationship , going back to KC/Denver. Think he will make it a priority to get him the ball. Listening to Marino on his show with Joe Rose , he expressed bewilderment that Miami can't or doesn't get Marshall the ball. Have to know that wouldn't be the case with 13 taking snaps .

 

Thigpen could absolutely blow up here with our cast of characters.


And yes, I realize that the above statement can be taken to be good or bad.

 

I just want to see wins, I dont care who is at the helm....the only thing I can do is back whomever is taking the ball from under the center's behind....I owe nothing to Henne, Pennigton, and Thigpen..yes it would be nice to find the guy obviously, but I am not letting my personal feelings for any one dude affect my judgement...they all have different qualites that I admire....in Thigpen I love the organized chaos he seems to have...the guy runs around, which draws LB's to commit, which should open up the middle....Fasano should have another day thursday...

 

Don't worry, I'm sure this Dolphin's fanbase is ready to knee jerk one way or the other :pity:

He'll be called either Marino, or Marilyn Monroe by someone within the next week I'm willing to bet.

 

As in a good way or bad way Stitch?

 

Thiggy is the answer or you can close the book on this one

 

Hmmm which one is better?

 

Yes.



I think he is talented enough to play better than any starting QB we've had this year or last. I also think he is undisciplined (and not accurate) enough to where it wouldn't surprise me if he faltered worse than any QB we've had the past 2 years.

 

Until Patrick Ramsey is the answer, right?

 

And then Jawalrus will be the answer.

 

HAHAHAHA

Lord please no....I will be good, and do all my chores....

 

Yeah he's talented and scary all at the same time..... if this staff has any sense at all they'll just let him go out there and do his thing. What do they really have to lose?

I think he matches up well with Marshall and he might also give the running game a boost.

Whatever happens, he'll be interesting to watch...lol

 

You said it, Girlfriend!








in your pants...



IN YOUR PANTS!

 

In 2008, Thigpen had a 5.8 AY/A. If you take out his first three starts, he finished the year with an AY/A of 6.7. That doesn't include his rushing yards. Henne was at 5.5 last year and 6.0 this year, on a much better offensive team. I think Thigpen is going to really improve this offense.

 

not really rocket science when his career completion percentage is around 53.xx

 

yea, but his adjusted yards per attempt is good. His first three career starts were pretty awful, which skew his numbers way down. He was 33-79 with 4 picks and 1 td. Chalk it up to nerves or whatever. After his three games he greatly improved. The rest of 2008, he was 197-341 with 17 passing tds, 3 rushing tds, and 1 receiving td, with only 8 interceptions.

 

Steelers

 

Dan Marino? Of course not, he had no problem getting any WR the ball

 

yeah, i mean why does it seem like there is pressure here to take a measured, scholarly approach? its silly. im excited about thigpen. i have caught the bug. im going to ride it out. if he ends up sucking, so be it

we havent had a lot to cheer about or be optimistic about this season.

 

One thing that I always liked about Thigpen was how he came into an inaugural football program up here at CCU and made the program competitive and even dominant right from the start. There were no scenes out of Necessary Roughness in that fledgling program, and that was because of TT.

 

yeah good points with several posters. i agree with jetssuck when he says no matter what the final score is it should at least be interesting. Thigpen is exciting to watch. Much more so than Pennington or Henne. But thats a double edged sword. I know with Pennington and Henne I dont really fear interceptions. I know Henne threw alot so far but they came in bunches. Generally Henne either throws it away or completes it. With Thigpen I actually get excited every time he throws. Its partly because he attacks downfield but also partly because I'm worried about a pick being thrown.

At the end of the day I think Padre is right. He's a 3rd string QB on Miami who was a 3rd string QB in Kansas City. He was 3rd string behind Cassell, Croyle, Henne and Pennington. Not exactly one Peyton Manning in that bunch. Still, you never know. He's been kept around because of potential so maybe now is the time when it all comes together for him the way it did for Romo, Rodgers or even Delhomme for a couple of years way back when. Still we have to remember that 25% of our starters are either banged up or out for this next game and we have two hurt offensive linemen. We should lose by all accounts. But hey its football and we're Miami and we've won plenty of games we should have lost. Hell, AJ Feeley beat Tom Brady once lol

 

Henne's interception percentage this year is 3.6%. Thigpen's career interception percentage is 3.6%. When he was actually a starter in KC, it was 2.9%, and that was because he threw 4 picks in his first 3 games, and only 8 in his last 8. He has 4 picks in 26 attempts in mop up roles.

 

This will be the first time he'll prepare/gameplan with the first team offense. Crossing my fingers and hoping for the best at this point.

Perhaps preparation this time around should make a difference in his approach.

 

I think Dan was implying it may not be the ability to get him the ball , but the intention of the staff. I also feel he would have gotten him the ball regardless of what the coaches had implemented for the game plan.

Of course he was Dan the Man , so he didn't really have to worry over minute concerns like being benched or reprimanded !

 

Or get cut so your baseball career can continue ... ;)

 

TT can really provide some unique wrinkles imo. Not sure how many this week , due to short prep time , but confident if he starts further into the season we will have some very different looks and formations.

He could take Ricky's spot and have the option to continue at full speed with a run or read any open receivers and hit them instride , or pull up and pull the trigger on a shorter/intermediate route.

With his ability to throw on the run , I can see some situations where we can utilize wildcat plays in a fashion we have not yet done.

Fresh wrinkles Padre Wally ;)

BTW , now that your season has ended with a first round playoff loss , do you think you can stop being a part time poster?

Get with the program bud !

 

well the good thing about thigpen's situation is he's in a no lose situation. if he does well thursday the fans will want him to be the starter and if he loses it will all be dan henning's fault :lol:

 

Chad Henne won that game last sunday 23rd, that makes him 6 and 4 in my book against the toughest schedule in the league.

 

:sidelol::sidelol:
You're too much to be taken seriously anymore :lol:

1 week it's Penny but the Elmer's glue couldn't keep his shoulder together...now Thiggy is the answer...oh god.

I bet you thought Pat White was the answer last year too.
