The difference is that those teams can also run their offense effectively with their QB under center. Why? Because the QB's that you mention (Warner, Brady, Brees & Manning) know how to read a defense.
Thigpen was horrendous under center against the Raiders, Falcons and Panthers. Furthermore, the Chiefs couldn't score in goal line situations when Thigpen was under center.
He's just not capable of running a Pro-Style offense at this time. Will he ever be capable? That's hard to say. But I wouldn't bank MY franchise on that risk.

I see what you're saying, but I really have a hard time believing that just because Thigpen was under center that we couldn't get a yard on a handoff when we needed it, and we couldn't. Couldn't that be something more than Thigpen sucks from under center? Seems like there could be other factors like LJ/OLINE/Playcalling sucking.
