I think too many are assuming that Thigpen's performance in 2008 was easily replicable. Even if it was a college-form offense, it was still a pro style offense simply because it showed some effectiveness on the pro level.

No, it didn't. It showed effectiveness for half of each game.
You can't compare Thigpen to guys that play in a real offense, they are being asked to do way more than Thigpen is.
Considering he was running the spread, his numbers aren't really that great.
Like I said before:
Tyler Thigpen wouldn't start on any of the other 31 teams in the league.
Why?
None of them would be willing to scrap their current offensive philosophy to install the Pistol so he can be somewhat effective.
