Duke Tobin On the Hot Seat?

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.

Agree, nI don't believe Tobin has the final say in many cases. So I kinda give him a break.

Oh I think all teams have a "draft panel, think tank" but the GM has the final word. I don't believe Tobin carries as much weight as most true GM's.
