I think a lot of people would strongly disagree with you on this one. Frankly, it's not something you can prove or disprove. Do you really want a game rating players based on public perception?

The statistical story of Morgan being a poor fielder early in his career, developing into a good fielder in the middle of his career, followed by his range noticeably dropping after the age of 32 isn't at all hard to believe.
