Good. That's all I'm going to say today. Look, if you have a QB like Thigpen, then you don't have to play the stupid game of Huard/Hagans because you can run your QB and also have a chance to complete a pass. He might only complete 55% of this throws this week, but that's still about 20% better than Vince Young does, and VY was on the cover of Madden.
I'm just going to leave you all with one thought today: smarts. Watch what plays we call in the game. If we run the ball sometimes in passing situations, and decide to throw the ball with one or two guys back helping block. We WILL win this game. If we don't, then plan on more of the same. We have to get defenses on their heels, and Thigpen gives us the best chance to do this. If we get Thigpen outside the pocket at least 1 out of every 3 or 4 passing plays, he has a really good chance to succeed.
If Herm and Chan "play to win the game" by mixing it up a little bit, sustaining some drives, and giving the defense a break every once in a while, we will win. Simple as that. Players are ALL professionals. What seperates the teams is the coaching just like the difference between two armies 200 years ago was the generals making the decisions. Right now Herm is not coaching to win the game, and they are not putting players where they need to be to succeed on plays.
I hope Clark Hunt is paying attention to this fact, and will evaluate Herm the same way Herm is evaluating every single player on this roster right now.
