He possibly looked so good back then because of the level of competition he faced. Put him among today's field of athletes he would fizzle out fast. (assuming you take the 20's Thorpe).
Increased competition, increased level of proficiency. That's how athletes progress. Thorpe was a competitor, he would be a much better athlete if born 20 years ago.
