I agree. Some people do underestimate the Colombo's because of the internal feuding and wars. They've been around a very very long time and are around today;
There a little more then just a "Glorified Street Gang"
The Colombo's will induct anyone with a pulse. Ralph DeLeo was just a drug dealer from Arkansas and shouldn't have even been made because he was also a rat, but instead he gets his button and later is made Colombo street boss.
Thomas Gioeli was basically a second rate robber who holds up fur shops, but the Colombo's decided he was good enough to make him their street boss.
Their choice of street bosses is a clear indication they don't have much talent in their ranks.
