It's not like BB fell into Krafts lap. Kraft hade to make a real effort to get him here.
I can see your points. Since then he has mostly left everything up to BB, and that seems easy. But I'm of the opinion that if something seems easy, but most fail at it. Then it isn't easy. Sure, it was 14 years ago that he gave the power to BB. But it's still the decision that has made this franchise so successful, and what continues to make it successful. I don't devalue decisions that are still having huge effects, just because it was a long time ago that it was made.
I don't know if I would rank him as the best owner in the league. But he's definitely up there as one of the best owners right now.
He is among the best owners in the league because in relative terms the majority of the others are either idiots, greedy or not patient enough. In absolute terms I lost tons of respect for him this year but lets not go there again.
