Tend to agree with you Slugger but I think a critical mass of good players is reached in a team when it is then able to carry a couple of lesser mortals, who can look better than they really are. An example for me would be say Josh Hunt who IMO is a very average player but looked adequate most of the time for the Cats, but also had some glaring lapses on occasions.
I think we are still probably still 2-3 quality players short of that critical point. With the advancing years of Scotto, Juddy and Waite we need to address this issue very soon, as we could fall back alarmingly pdq.
Love your work, Furry Biscuit.
It really is achieving that balance across the board where there is that (as you write) critical balance of above average and elite players (talls and meds and smalls).
Matt Clape would be another good example of an average dude who was in the right place at the right time ('95). McKenzie in '87 would be another.
