Re: Also Eddie Jackson at practice
agreed, the adjective bugged me.
but, I wouldn't say that the 30th best CB in the league can be a "very good" player. there are 64 starting CB's. that makes him, by definition, average. if you want to be generous, call him just above average. but the difference between the 25th best CB and the 35th best CB is very small. it's kind of like the 30th best outfielder compared to the 40th best outfielder, the stats aren't that much different.
the separation tends to be at the very top. it's hard to find guys 1-10 or so. it's easy to find guys around 30.
The issue here is your use of adjectives. If Champ Bailey is "on his own level" that would make him "exceptional" not "excellent". If Hobbs is on the third level, as you claim, that puts him at around the top 20-30 guys in the league. I don't see how that isn't "very good". Gay is someone who would be refered to as "fine".
