Coaches see all of these players everyday in practice. They know which ones are best.
Of course...but as the quote indicates maybe Guenther's view on who the best guys are in certain positions and/or circumstances has been challenged by what they are actually now seeing on game day over 8 weeks.
Paul Alexander clearly thought Ced Ogbuehi was the best player for RT when he made him starter and stuck with him until it became untenable - he since adjusted and is mixing more of his time with Winston which looks like it has had some limited positive impact.
If Guenther is now looking at making similar adjustments based on production and not reputation then I'm all for it.
