You can't sit here and blame Parcells for everything. Parcells' tree also produced maybe the most successful NFL coach ever (Belichick), one of the best college coaches ever (Saban), and two legit Super Bowl winning coaches in Sean Payton and Coughlin. The Browns have never exactly shown great judgment in any regard... you can't entirely blame Parcells for that. Mike Holmgren was a pretty successful coach and even he couldn't fix them.

You can and absolutely blame both.
Of course the blame goes to the moron owners that continue to pick from the same failed tree. But it was Bellichick's tree that ****ed the Browns in the 2000s (Savage & Kokinis were personnel guys for Bellichick's Browns). And it's Parcells who is directly ****ing them now (Parcells was a special consultant in 2014 and apparently consulted DePodesta in 2016). And given Haslem's friendship with Parcells, it's hard to imagine that Lombardi/Ray Farmer weren't hired out of Parcells' insistence. And since every Bellichick/Parcells disciple has the same habit of refusing to hire anyone outside of the tree, it's easier to blame the tree.
And while we're talking about drafting QBs... apart from Manziel, almost every QB drafted by a Bellichick/Parcells GM fit the mold of Parcells' moronic "Parcells rules." Might explain why Kessler was drafted over Wentz (Wentz did NOT pass the Parcells rules test).
