Marv is more comfortable with those he can trust not to make mistakes.  The trade off in a lot of cases is results suffer.  The NFL doesn't stand for "Not For Long" for no reason.  Heck I think they (players) get a pension after just 5 years.  That should tell us something about what happens to ones ability as a natural age progression.

For a group trusted to not make mistakes, these guys sure do make a lot of them.  Mistakes in blocking, mistakes in tackling, dropping passes, missing interceptions, missing the hole, forcing the ball into coverage...
