He is a horrible businessman who rides the back of the oligarchy known as the NFL. He is clueless on how to market and develop a market. A winning competitive team could charge more for seats, more for club seats and other local revenue sources. 

Agreed.  It's more about taking risks and giving control to and trusting outsiders than it is about just being flat-out cheap.  Other NFL franchises do things/build things/hire people who go beyond the bare requirements, where Mike Brown doesn't OR if it is required he finds a friend or family member to do the job in a "loyalty over production" type manner.

I actually believe if the draft weren't required Mike Brown would be preaching the value of avoiding over-priced college talent and building through hard-nosed blue-collar players off the street.  Some fans would eat that right up...well, at least for a while.
