To be honest, he's going to be the next Damon Huard, only, the anti-Damon Huard. Huard is purely a pocket passer, he can't roll out effectively. Conversely, Thigster is only effective while IN a rollout. It's still not the fact that he's 'short' that's holding him back. And it's only his athleticism that has saved him.

Height can help but it isn't the end all. Thiglet is a pretty good athlete but is essentially still just a rookie so it's way too early to determine whether or not he has the head and skill package to development into a solid backup/starter. In any event, this all seems kind of academic to me right now; my assumption remains that we'll pick up some guy that shakes loose elsewhere before the season starts.

I never said Thigpen would be good. I don't think he's good, and I don't think he'll ever be a good NFL QB. He's just too underdeveloped at this point in his career to start now. BUT THE ISSUE IS NOT HEIGHT. It's NOT. Adam, no you can't see the floor the same as Steve Nash, but it's not your height that is holding you back, it's the fact that you aren't an NBA player and Steve Nash is a straight up baller. Thigpen's issue is not his height, it's the fact that he played running back until college. If he was 5'10, then yeah, his height would probably be giving him some problems, but he's not. He's 6'0. The same height as other prolific pocket passers. So, process of elimination here guys. We can check height off the list. Oh my god. I never said Thigpen would be good.
