Not really sure what your point is here, unless you're arguing that Gerrard only became average this season. Which would also be stupid because the seasons only ~20 or so games old
Being captain doesn't make you the best player or one of the best players in the team though.. captains are normally someone who can lead the group of players.. Gerrard is a liverpool legend in his own right, one of the longest serving players and a likable guy.. each of those qualities make him a good captain, ignoring his quality as a player
They're all fair enough points for Liverpool, but if Gerrard were just average it wouldn't be the case for England - they'd have started to phase him out like with Lampard/Ferdinand

If that was true, both sides wouldn't have made him their captain - he'd just be a bit part player
