People cannot just accept that everyone will be slightly different and bring a uniqueness to the position. When I watch football (soccer) or rugby or cricket in England there is, in comparison, very little of this. Burkhead is taller, heavier and slower than Woodhead, Welker or Edelman. He couldn't be a more different player in so many ways. 

We are given to comparison in America.  It's what we do.  Some players are doomed by it, others elevated.  It is far from an exact science.
