The problem with assigning specific blame, especially when you're looking for a singular scapegoat, is that this franchise has no defined roles in the front office.
For years, and years, and years, Mike Brown was the GM. He might still be. He's also the owner. So he might be a logical choice.
But then we've heard it's Katie and Troy who are now running the show. They're handling all of the day-to-day, and Mike only chimes in when he wants to. So maybe they're responsible for this team.
But, not so fast. We've also heard that Duke Tobin is the "defacto GM", and he's pretty much in charge of all player personnel. We've heard he's the one who went to bat for Taylor. So maybe he's ultimately responsible.
Then you've got Zac Taylor. Well, we heard for years that Marvin was essentially the GM, and that he slowly assumed more and more power. He controlled the show, other than butting heads with Mike on a couple of occassions. So maybe Zac Taylor inherited said influence. So maybe he's more resposible than an average coach, as he has a greater role.
Is the owner calling the shots? Is the daughter/son in law calling the shots? Is the director of the scouting department calling the shots? Is the coach calling the shots?
No one knows. You can go to any number of threads and find people claiming different things. Mike is still running the team, Katie is running the team, Duke Tobin is running the team, Marvin ran the team.
How ridiculous is this? This is why you cannot say we have a GM. We have no idea who's ultimately running the show.
They're all to blame, and they're all imcompetent. Not one of them is qualified for their actual positions. Nepotism in the front office, coupled with stubborness and cheapness, has allowed them to build out a complete shit-show from top to bottom.
The entire front office needs to be replaced or relieved from their duties, and someone actually qualified needs to build it out from scratch.
