That's a good point. I've felt that as well. Edge has proven he is perfectly capable, but I think he makes a better follower in the ring than a leader. If you give him an opponent of Benoit's calibur, you get a Benoit-calibur match, but if you put him in the ring with someone below average in ring ability, Edge usually drops to those levels, too.
Edge is the perfect wrestling chameleon, so it makes sense he gets put with guys that can carry a solid tune in a match. Benoit, Eddie & Rey are on SD!, and Angle, Jericho, Christian & HBK are on RAW. That's probably why Edge makes a better supporting main event than a lead one.
