Nobody's eye test saw the rise of Morrissey coming that I am aware of. The best that might have existed back then from his still diehard fans is guys who hadn't written him off since his partners usually sucked but nobody saw the guy coming that Josh and Bones created in Frankenstein's lab.
I'd be reluctant to give Bones too much credit on this... various models were showing Morrissey performing at an elite d-men level the season before under Maurice/Lowry... he just didn't have the counting stats. He got the counting stats the following season when Bones took over, so he likely would have been elite, Bones or not.
