I love the pro style, but I agree with all of your points against it. Much too complicated for college. Like you said, there is almost always too much churn in college. If you have Aaron Rodgers, it's great, but he's going to graduate or leave for the draft. If he gets hurt, you better hope his understudy has been learning the system for a while and is pretty smart.

I don't necessarily want to go all Air Raid, but every single quarterback he puts in his system throws for 500 yards a game. The blocking schemes in the Air Raid also help to compensate if you don't have near-NFL level of talent on the o-line. Whatever system you use has to be more plug-and-play than the pro style.
