This aspect of team development cannot be underrated as it affects a multitude of other tangential things such as on-field communication and player assessment. While fans should avoid making broad generalizations regarding personnel, evaluating players based strictly upon their own merit has usefulness.

Essentially, evaluating players on their own individual prowess executing their position, instead of as a part of a larger whole, will result in a much more accurate picture of the aggregate. Likewise, evaluating the coaching staff and even the new offensive and defensive systems is possible given the right criteria.
