While I agree, the thread could have been titled better, I find it a topic of discussion if everyone behaves themselves and treats our "elite" with the respect they deserve.
The OP did give a bit of a definition of washed up on page two, dropped twenty points etc. I'm gonna disagree with that. That simply means you've moved up to Masters cause you're getting old. I'm not Da Crippler, but I'm getting close to 60. My son likes to call me fat pack, I can take being told I'm old and slower than I was. I don't see it as a cut, rather, I see it as reality. But washed up shouldn't be aging, or should it? I don't consider Dave Feldberg as washed up, he's a dominant Masters age player who still makes the top two cards with some regularity.
So, what is washed up? Should it be washed out? Like, Stokley for example? Of course what washed him out was numbers, not a falling off in skill. Age combined with limited income.
