Much has been made the last few years about how Mike Brown has stepped back and how Katie, Marvin, and Duke are calling the shots. I call poppycock to that !
Oh I don't doubt at all the Mike Brown is not sitting in the war room saying we're taking Akili Smith in the 1st round. But in the same breath I'm pretty sure MB said you guys drafted Ogbuehi, Fisher, and Bodine and they're playing and it doesn't matter if they suck. And besides it will save me money, it's a win - win for me.
Which just goes along with Mike's we honor contracts BS. Which is just another way to be cheap. Along with the whole comp. picks BS, just code for being cheap. Mike's not making the picks but he still very much controls how the team is ran.
I'm not taking up for Tobin but he's handicapped by Charlie Brown and his cheap ways.
The whole letting quality players leave and saying its to get Comp picks is an extreme handicap. Part of that strategy is signing free agents that were cut since it doesn't count in the Comp pick formula.
Not paying Guards or Centers, etc.
It's all a handicap.
