Hm, that's interesting. So I agree playing time and endurance are sort of redundant mechanisms, but does this mean we'll see less unusual things like the star receiver or safety who, despite being an elite athlete in peak physical condition, has no endurance?

There are big ol' nose tackles that aren't considered 3-down linemen (although I don't know if this is an endurance issue so much as a skills one? Vince Wilfork was once not a 3-down lineman in New England, but with a reshuffling of scheme he was perfectly able to handle a much bigger load of snaps)...there are RBs (I guess) that wear down with too many carries...but for the most part, a player getting more or less playing time seems to be a measure of their overall skill and value on the field, which is a coaching decision. Right?

I don't know too much about the disgruntled thing, but it seems like players need starts, not just PT, to get undisgruntled :P I'm not too sure on that, though.
