As for Drogba/ Benteke, perhaps you misconstrued the emphasis of the point, or maybe I didn't convey it probably. In the latter case, it's my bad. If instead of looking at 100+ games, you watch Drogba and Benteke separately on a year-to-year progressie basis - the former improved each season and became more consistent with his goalscoring sharpness, shooting ability, touch, timing and so forth. Whereas Benteke has failed to replicate his form from 2012/ 2013. What I'm essentially trying to say is that one player was constantly improving and on an upward curve which projected well for his future performances. While the other had regressed, and on a likely downward pointing performance curve.
