This design decision is fundamentally flawed, and needs to be fixed.
You vastly overlook the mental aspect of development. Players who are performing poorly will become discouraged and depressed and they wont perform to their potential. Conversely, some players with less talent will end up having better careers and stats because their mental and emotional makeup is stronger. Markus's system is a lot more nuanced than the 'talent decides all' school of thought.
