Agreed. No GM is. And every GM makes good and bad picks, some more than others. But to act like they do it in a vacuum and that they don't have a whole team of people that are responsible for those decisions is a bit disingenuous.
And if we're going to hold up Dorsey as some 'God-like' scout GM that built the Super Bowl team, while ignoring the OTHER team members (Reid, Veach, just to name a couple) that played a part in that success, then we need to be equally willing to look at his time in Cleveland as an abstract failure, mainly due to missing on TWO Top 5 picks in his very first draft there.
That's a pretty BIG stain on a GM's resume that can't be overlooked. It's like some people forget he was fired twice in a period of 5 years by 2 different teams. He clearly has his warts in drafting too.
