Statistics are useful only to the extent that they can be used to predict future results. This tends to work alright in baseball, not so much in football.
What is far more useful is examining how Tyler Thigpen actually performed. Even balls he threw that were caught tended to be behind his guy and/or forced into TG. He's not a good passer, at all. Additionally, as a passer, he regressed over 400 attempts. He did not improve a single bit as the season went along. The stats reflect that, but his actual play to play performance does a far better job showing that than any raw numbers could.
