Tyler Thigpen's transformation from scrub to savior has been remarkable. Earlier in the year, Thigpen was 14-of-36 for 128 yards, three picks and a fumble in a Week 3 performance. The past three games, Thigpen is 66-of-102, 710 yards, six touchdowns, no interceptions and no fumbles.

I see no reason why he would slow down. First of all, New Orleans' secondary sucks. The Saints are 21st against the pass, a statistic that has been dropping ever since sensational rookie corner Tracy Porter suffered a season-ending injury. Now, top corner Mike McKenzie is gone for the year as well.

Secondly, Thigpen has two Pro Bowl-caliber talents at his disposal. Tony Gonzalez and Dwayne Bowe have to be thrilled that the Chiefs have a competent quarterback for the first time since 2006. And now that Mark Bradley is emerging, Kansas City's offense has made the full transition from lackluster to lethal.

Lethal?

Did we go through a timewarp back to 03? We might be on the verge of solid, but lethal?

Either way, true or not, damn it feels good to hear that again.

BTW-I don't think we are lethal either.

I think is being under credited and unrecognized as the best pickup in the offseason. As much success Tyler has had I equally contribute to Gailey’s work in customizing the playbook to his abilities. Makes me wonder what we could have gotten out of Croyle this year if the kid would just have stayed healthy. Perhaps Gailey is a key ingredient in finding/developing our QBOTF

interesting...

the site moved us from 30 to 26 with a nod, in their power rankings. Still haven’t found the link-through story, though

Savior?

Seriously, he’s being called a savior? Are those straight faces because if they are then that is the most asinine statement I’ve heard in a looooong time.
We haven’t WON a game as a team. We don’t know if the spread will work over LONG term and now he’s the SAVIOR of this franchise after 3 games. 3 not 13, not 33…3 games

IQ’s have suddenly dropped and we are all dumber for reading this.

Just keep matriculating the ball down the field boys.
