I truly didn't have a favorite in this competition.
That said, didn't Steichen do exactly what he said he was going to do, and pick the most consistent guy.
How would it have been taken if Steichen went to the podium and said that, yeah, Daniel was more consistent, but we went with AR because he has more upside? Upside means nothing, and may never be achieved.
Also, I believe that this decision, almost definitively proves out that Irsay was AR's biggest backer, and pulling the strings for him to start, when Mishew was the better option. I don't believe that Carlie will make those same mistakes.
