Time to trust "The Process"

Just the fact that we have Tobin shows it's different the only reason he isn't a GM is because of the lack of title.  I thought part of what Marvin did and what people give him credit for was changing the culture around the organization from miserable to stable. Just because the organization hasn't changed in one aspect doesn't mean they haven't changed their approach in other ways in 26 years.

Something had to have changed from the 90's the gradual improvement just doesn't fall into your lap magically.

I don't think Mike's philosophy to team building has changed much if at all. Tobin was a great hire back in 1999, but sometimes I think his "GM" status is a bit overstated. I'm sure he has a lot of input, but Mike is still the one pulling the strings. I think the hiring of Tobin as well as Marv has greatly improved the eye for talent within the organization, but I believe they're hamstrung by Mike.

Just going off my gut and from what I've seen, but I'm betting that there's moves that Tobin and Marv would probably like to make, but don't even run by Mike because they know what the answer would be. The extreme love for compensatory picks reeks of Mike as well.
