I remember another NFL person saying a couple years ago if Tobin lost his job today he'd get hired as a GM by somebody else tomorrow. Or in other words I agree with them and don't believe Tobin is the real problem here.

From our outside perspective as fans, and for decades now, I've always found it hard to develop any concrete opinions about the front office, coaching, or players because inevitably there is the lingering question about how much Mike Brown is heavy handed and, excuse my vulgar language, ***** shit up.

I can't determine if Duke sucks or is good at his job. He doesn't have the actual GM title, access to resources (scouting) that real GMs have, and, for all we know, is constantly overruled by the Owner-GM. I think I've read more Hobson articles going on about how a former coach advised to draft a player more than Duke made the pick (Alexander and OL, for example). That's messed up.
