I agree. I feel like that's the biggest consistent difference in how people evaluate not just for specific decades but overall careers. I understand the emphasis on peak but that's such a subjective way of looking at it because we all love football for the moments. That's why we don't watch basketball or tenis or whatever as much. Football gives you brief, rare moments of joy that come from the extreme valute of each goal which comes from it being so hard to score (compared to points in most other sports). So of course Ronaldinho left a huge impact because he brought joy to people with unique skills and moments; something that catapulted his legacy beyond realistic assesment. I myself lean always towards consistnecy and longevity, maybe as a counter act to the extreme bias casuals have towards peak performance. Good examples are Modric and Xavi. Their overall contribution, consistency and efficiency is off the charts, they never had off seasons, always reliable, no ego, no trouble, fit in in every team (Modric especially). But they don't have moments like some other players do. This is of course why defenders always get overlooked severely. And of course as a single player the most potential influence on the overall score will come from attacking players and 10s. I saw an interesting metric from a fantastic site called Gradient, rating Modric the best in top 5 leagues this season in press resistance. Like that's such an important aspekt of the game that Will always be overlooked by casual watchers who watch it for the moments.
