JohnC Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) what are you basing this on ? Real games or preseason ? Because in actual NFL games Thigpen has played fairly well for a back up. It doesn't matter whether you are talking about preseason or regular season games. Tyler Thigpen is less than mediocre. He has bounced around the league with little playing time for a reason. He simply isn't good enough to give your team a reasonable chance to win if he replaces the starter. There are plenty of very mediocre backup qbs who are better than he is. Edited February 23, 2012 by JohnC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnC Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Same can be said for Clausen I'm not sure if he is available but I would like to see us take a look at Dixon from the Steelers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giaimo25 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 what are you basing this on ? Real games or preseason ? Because in actual NFL games Thigpen has played fairly well for a back up. Maybe the fact that the one time the bills were looking into using him after fitz took the shot from fletcher, he looked so lost and had a football that he was warming up with bounce off his head? I know at that point I wasnt feeling really warm and fuzzy inside with him as our backup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turn Down For Watkins Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 please no.. I'd much rather take a shot on one of the QB's coming out in the later rounds this year. Kellen Moore's a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T master Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I agree. Is anyone here seriously sold on Thigpen? No i am not sold on Thigpen , But i am not sold on Clausen either although i might have a tendency to think Clausen would be a better back up !!

Buftex Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 No i am not sold on Thigpen , But i am not sold on Clausen either although i might have a tendency to think Clausen would be a better back up !! Don't be so rational when it comes to Thigpen. Bills fans have seen enough of him, with his 8 pass attempts, to know that anyone who is a pending free agent is much better!

Bills fans have seen enough of him, with his 8 pass attempts, to know that anyone who is a pending free agent is much better! Seriously, fans are so overreactive. Clausen threw 3 tds (0 to a receiver) and had 9 INTs. The PAnthers basically switch one player on offense and they go from the worst offense in the NFL to a top 10 one. In 2008, Thigpen threw 18 tds to 12 INTs, yet every other scrub QB is better than him. Bills fans love to eat their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wanna know what youve seen from Clausen that makes you believe hes a better backup. Never mind thigpen isnt great, what about Clausen makes you think he could win a game for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Number 76 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Clausen lit up Hawaii in a bowl game once. And he has a mean blowout. And he was great in Remember the Titans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prissythecat Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 I'm curious were people on this board fixated on Jimmy Clausen because he liked posing in tight swimsuits? Link to Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReturnoftheBuffaloBeast23 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Thigpen and Claussen are like $hitty vs $hittier, it doesn't matter because they both stink. Hell Fitz id throw in the toilet too because he can play like $h*t at times but he's that inconsistent type $h*t you know like sometimes its hard sometimes its soft sometimes he's good sometimes he's bad he's never just right for a long period of time LOL!.... We need a real QB or we will be 1-10 in the draft for another decade... *goes back into bat cave* Edited February 23, 2012 by ReturnoftheBuffaloBeast23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
