Four weeks ago this was a dumb question and it still may be.

The Chiefs are still not winning but the last two weeks they have been very competitive, including being tied or ahead in the 4th quarter of both games. On Sunday they lost due to a failed two point conversion try and against the Buccaneers they blew a 21 point lead.

Either way, Tyler Thigpen is the reason the Chiefs have improved despite their 1-7 record. In the last three weeks Thigpen has thrown for 6 TDs (0 INTS) and caught a TD.

He’s 66 of 102 for and 710 yards during that stretch, so it’s not like he’s throwing short passes only. Tony Gonzalez even had two touchdowns on Sunday, meaning he is finding a way to get the Chiefs one offensive difference maker involved.

So I’m asking you Chiefs fans, is there still a need to draft a quarterback in the first round of the 2009 NFL Draft? I figure a lot of you guys want to take the wait and see approach with Thigpen, but either way his improvement is completely unexpected.

The last three weeks the Chiefs have lost, but only by a combined 8 points. That’s a lot better than the first six games of the season when the Chiefs were only competitive twice.

Thigpen after all is only 24 and in his second year out of Coastal Carolina. So tell me Chiefs fans, what would you do if the draft was tomorrow?
