Tyler Thigpen finally getting to work on his fundamentals

Backup quarterback Tyler Thigpen has demonstrated he can be a pretty good NFL quarterback when given the opportunity.

Imagine what might happen now that he’s actually getting some coaching at the position.

Thigpen, who completed 54.8 percent of his passes and threw 18 touchdown passes as opposed to 12 interceptions while starting 11 games for Kansas City in 2008, said the Dolphins’ David Lee is the first real quarterback coach he’s had in his career.

"When I came in last year, right from the first day I came out to practice, coach Lee was like, Have you ever gotten any coaching from a quarterback coach?"

Thanks for posting this

I’ve wondered how Thigpen was doing. I remember when he was traded to Miami and Haley saying that he was glad Thigpen was going to be coached by David Lee (I think they were together in Dallas).

No QB coach?

I’m sure Sam Bradford would be thrilled to read this. The same guy in charge of developing him was the same guy responsible for teaching (or not) Thigpen mechanics.
