Helping secure funding for the performance facility likely made him an automatic contender. It would be interesting to know executed the deal with Davis Health... how much was Blue, and how much Rocko?
Did Darryl Gross apply? I like him, but a little too flashy for some.
While Maier was great, he wasn't mobile and I can't recall him throwing the deep ball, so everything was happening in a 20 yd area, with modest yards after catch.
Rodriguez had the 35 yd TD toss that was really about a 50 yd throw, and so far has proven very mobile.
