[NO SPOILERS] Could the show have been even much better if it had been directed by someone with a lot more experience and skill?

Please take this question with a grain of salt and explain like I'm five, as there isn't a lot of research behind it yet, but rather for now it is just a simple combination of certain information I picked up here and there.

-

Having watched several videos and reviews about why GoT had to end and why the last season was as terrible as it was, one of the core reasons, which everyone mentioned was that the people who ran the show were Dumb&Dumber (David Benioff & Dan Weiss) who apparently weren't really experienced at all, especially with such a big project. And the vidmakers asked themselves why HBO would choose them for such a big project.

Then why did the show (or at least the first few seasons were very good) turn out to be so damn good?.. you might ask yourself now, same as I do.

I suppose it was because (and probably ONLY because) the story was already there, in the books. I guess following a set story and script is probably very easy, or so it seems? But now I'm asking myself, if these clowns, who managed to crash this whole thing into what it sadly became, still managed to direct the first few seasons into THAT, how could the first seasons have become if they were directed by someone better, someone good, someone with a lot of experience in making epic shows?

And still, I also ask, how did Dumb&Dumber manage to create those first few seasons? I'm having a hard time to believe that it was actually them. What's wrong there? Was it only possible thanks to the books, or did they actually do a good job in the beginning?

Thank you
