Plenty of great players in the league, yes. Lots of differences between some or even most of those great players too. And in Madden, once you are 90 there is too small of a difference in gameplay whether you are a 91 or a 97.

Anyways, better to wait it out but not a good first impression of the spread out ratings imo

For those who are about "Gameplay", this is so important in understanding.

Spreading out to the lowest threshold levels along the 0-99 scale to achieve the greatest player difference.

At least why I chimed in on the discussion.

Not true. Left tackles get paid way more for a reason. It's not an accident they're protecting what the QB can't see. Your best pass blocking OT will be on the left side with a right handed QB. RT and RG are generally the "power side" with increased run blocking.

Sorry but you are living in the past, there is a reason why teams are starting to draft RT higher and higher in the 1st round. Ereck Flowers (before Beatty injury), D.J. Fluker, and most recently Jack Conklin.

And again, you are missing the point, nobody is discussing which is more important between left and right tackle. The point is what is the most valuable attribute for a right tackle in the current NFL, and that is clearly pass blocking. The decrease in running throughout the NFL and the rise in elite rushers from the line's right side dictate so.

And what does money have to do with OVR rating calculation?
