Nope this post is so stupid that it boggles my mind. Your point that no one was born an OC and everyone had to get there first chance at some point is not nearly as good as you think it is…
Greater than 50 percent of first time OCs and DCs produce average to below average results.
Statistically speaking, Ken could be an elite OC, but chances are he won’t be.
Instead of gambling on Ken, who could be a good OC but who could also be a bad OC, why don’t we hire an elite OC with a proven track record like Briles, Grimes, etc.?
It’s like an owner of a business deciding between hiring an elite employee versus an employee who’s never done the job before. In the days when we didn’t have $$, we had no choice but to take risks, but there’s no need to now. Way less risk with a proven commodity.
