I think that at least in the last few years it is a three headed monster between Mike, Duke, and Katie.

Yeah he is the owner so it is sort of long term. We do have scouts.

I could maybe see Duke Tobin getting a shot at GM somewhere maybe/eventually, but Mike and Katie wouldn't be hired as GMs of other teams, so we've been operating for 28 or so years with "not really a GM" calling the shots.  And as you've pointed out, we have 1 pseudo-GM in Tobin making decisions with 2 (or 3 if Troy is involved) non-GMs.  Oy, I can only assume my production at work would decrease if I had to confer with 2 or 3 people who didn't know what they were doing before I did anything.

But now I'm wondering why Mike Brown and Katie could have just learned to be GMs after all these years.  Hell if I know.  Maybe we nailed this draft and everything is fine.
