We might have to agree to disagree. Even if he was less than reputable, Danzo should have been offered the Hokage job at least once over the years, out of desperation if nothing else. The fact that he wasn't to me implies the elders didn't believe him to be in the same league as some of the other people who were offered the job. He wasn't offered hokage position for the same reason Orochimaru wasn't even if he was hokage material by strength and by intellect.
