I think more realistic skills should be targeted in skill drops. My 20 OD, 21 JS player turned 35 and has lost 7 pops in JS but only 2 in OD. In my opinion, guards should fall away in skills that require pace early on, e.g. driving and OD. But JS, range, passing can be kept as an aging player. Id like to see these skills maintained a bit better.

Eh, I mean I can imagine Carmelo Anthony or Lebron doing damage on the inside at 35. Just with less hops.

But I agree. Particularly with JS, JR and PA.

One thing that I don't think can be taken into account with drops is the fact that usage of shots play a role in real life. As an aging bench player, you get less shots than the starters and it affects rhythm.
