Well, this may all be true, I don't follow the Cards on any daily basis . The easier explanation tho is that the Cubs simply have way better talent and have for the past 4 seasons and will again for a couple more. And Tavares died. I prefer the simpler arguments

It is absolutely, incontrovertibly true. He ****ed around with Taveras so much that Mozeliak had to trade Allen Craig just to get him to play him. He ruined the arms and careers of Kevin Siegrist, Seth Maness, and Trevor Rosenthal. He played favorites, preferring shitty veterans that attended his Bible study group over superior, younger options.
The 2011 system had these guys in it
Matt Adams
Matt Carpenter
Allen Craig
Lance Lynn
Shelby Miller
Trevor Rosenthal
Kevin Siegrist
Carlos Martinez
Tommy Pham
Oscar Taveras
Then add Freese, Jaime Garcia, Wainwright, Yadi, Matt Holliday, and Beltran on it.
He had a team filled with elite veteran talent and about 110 fWAR just in those guys I listed above that weren't even regular players yet.
He was absolutely handed a Lambo.
