If such a thing was possible then there wouldn't be any draft busts. Therefore, this entire argument is "because I said so" and your opinion is backed up by meaningless fluff as my example indicated.
As I said before "Number of starts" is not the most accurate measure of talent, but it is far from "meaningless fluff". It will not tell us who is the best among the starters, but in general the players who start are better than the players who do not start. And the players who start multiple years are generally better than players who have as many as 8 starts just once in their career.
