I'd love to have this sort of improvement reflected in madden, where players burst onto the scene while others progress slowly. Another thing I'd like to see is situational players getting love. Some way that its easier to bring packages onto the field that utilize players that are good in one area (a blitzing LB who's zone and man coverage sucks, but his pass rush skills are good - or a reliable WR in 3rd down situations who will hold onto the pass to get you that 8 yards). It would be good for online too, and it will help give away your intentions at times to your opposition if they pay attention.

What they could do is have a potential rating but if you have a James Harrison season then your Potential goes up with your overall.

Potential is an iffy rating though. Like Peyton Manning was expected to be good. Not as good as he is now but good. Now a guy like Joe Montana would have a "meh" potential rating but as we can see he is arguably the greatest QB to ever live.
