Some guys like Randy Moss for example, don't need to work that hard to progress (as you loathed above).....but in reality that is life....he is just that gifted naturally.... Don't get me wrong I do think to a certain extent we should be able to progress our guys better. We should have more sway. But it does need to be balanced. Your statement that ANYONE can be ELITE, I think does not reflect reality.

Well not exactly, because their are players that will come out of the draft that are much more developed in their skill sets so it should only take a "star" rookie LB maybe 2 or 3 seasons to make into a Ray Lewis caliber player depending on how much xp you use on that particular player, whereas you could pump several seasons worth of xp into a bum LB and eventually turn him into what that star rookie was just coming out of the draft. Lots of interesting variables here.
