Probably been said in the last 100 threads but here is my take.
Denny has not missed on a draft pick yet. Every player he has chosen has moved into a starter position and performed.
Not a bad record.
He needed to go with Fitz or a big time QB during the draft. He chose Fitz and expected at least a certain level of QB play to get by.
McCown won't throw down field and King does so recklessly. Neither have the results we want.
Enter Navarre, Denny's choice of QB. Denny puts him on the PS and works with him all season, the place the QB must have all of his devotion and attention so far. That's not a mistake.
I think Green knew exactly the player he wanted in the draft and was just willing to let the wins come as they will with Mac's player and a back up who he didn't really care about. If Green thought King was the man McCown would have been pulled much sooner. He knew niether was the answer. But the ace in the hole was Navarre. He needed some time and personal coaching to be ready. He got that as Greens personal PS player with one on one coaching.
I'm guessing all of this as an outsider like the rest of you but must say, So far so good on Greens picks. Rounds one through five have been pretty good. Lets dive a little deeper.
Just how much better is Greens talent evaluation than Macs? I think we'll know by halftime Sunday.
Actually I think that question was answered during the first preseason game. Green wins hands down. We just need to see how much better his talent choices perform in the very late rounds. So far Green leads the battle.
