You have to prove yourself as better capable to do the job before you unseat the incumbent. Its just the way life works.
For JC that means proving it day in and day out with consistent performances at practice, in front of those that make the decision.

thats old school. if everyone hired like that no one would ever get a start in your business.
I don't know how long you've been in management or what field, but the businesses that grow are the ones who don't get into the doldrums of doing business like daddy, but the ones who can think forward. Usually that means hiring new younger canditates for positions and doing what it takes to mold them into someone who shares your values and business plan, but can help you grow. At that point it becomes retention, which is easier and CHEAPER than stealing talent from someone else with whom they have a history...
for this analogy, character and pedigree are supposed to already be there in the younger QB and cost is not an issue, because we're already paying him. experience is the only thing that stands in his way, (because with potential, knowledge is gained from experience) and no one else is gonna let him play for them until he gets the hang of things and learns, and let us sign him if he gets good... thats what college was for...
-I don't mean to sound gruff, but I deal with older old-school business men everyday who cant understand why their business is getting taken by people who arent conforming to yesterdays standards... and they're quick to dismiss unproven ideas and prospects because they're not experienced, but its usually the guy who gives someone the experience that gain the rewards of the prospects potential...
