How to fix this mess?

Tony Romo has way too good a gig to drop it to work for a maligned franchise like the Bengals, and I'm not sure if Peyton Manning would even make a good GM, though again he's getting all that commercial money to convince people insurance companies just love writing people checks.

Also, the general rule of the working world is that performers of average talent/results make better trainers, coaches and so on because the experts in the field tend to follow their own template for success while average performers adhere to and best understand the templates that apply to everyone.  John Elway is the latest flubb of a GM in the sense that people seem to think a guy who was a HOF-caliber QB himself should be able to pick a talented QB out of a group, but that's not usually how it works.

Anyways, I think the Bengals will be like the Raiders in the sense that Al Davis was way too involved and way too stuck in the past but as soon as he died his kid hired a GM and things started to look more like a normal franchise.  I wouldn't be surprised if an owner being the GM because he's a control freak and/or cheap is a concept that almost entirely dies off with Mike Brown.  

I almost feel like the NFL is just sort of letting him pretend to be a GM because they figure he's grandfathered into it and if Katie and Troy were like...um, we are the GMs the NFL would find a way to compel them to actually appoint the title to someone who didn't inherit the team...maybe?  No no, we let your old man pretend to be a GM for 35 years and that was a mistake so we aren't letting this happen again...hire someone...make Duke the GM....just make sure someone who isn't of the Brown bloodline has the title of GM for the first time in 60 years.
