simpleman Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) I keep thinking how McKelvin still flashes so much potential, but does not seem to ever get better. We hire tutors when our kids need extra help to reach their full potential. After using valuable high draft choices and committing large sums of money on certain players, why aren't teams willing to hire specialists that are dedicated to "grooming" selected players with high potential to develop them to their full potential, or more quickly determining if they actually have that perceived value? Rather than just having general position coaches, why not hire temporary/"on as needed basis" extra coaches to insure that any high potential talent gets specialized coaching to overcome their weaknesses and develop their unique strengths to specially fit the needs of the team? Has any NFL team ever tried this approach(beyond QB's)? Has it been tried and not found to be cost effective? I'm curious since it seems on the surface as a no brainer. Thinking about high draft round players that were busts on one team and seemed to thrive on another, wouldn't it have been more cost effective to spend the extra time and money on a special coach on the player before completely flushing the wasted draft position and the money down the drain? I'm not even going to mention the recent players the Bill's have flushed away high draft choices on I can think of. Edited November 17, 2011 by simpleman
