Could Rommel have defeated Stalin if he'd been in overall charge of case blue?

No. His authority would have been exceeded by Adolph Hitler's incompetence.

@ElGuapo By 1941 there may have been too many fronts to alter the inevitable. But with political back-tracking they may have settled on the west and taken Stalin down for the count. A lot of Russian enemies in Eastern Europe were happy to join in on Hitler's side.

@ElGuapo Had Hitler been deposed in 1941 it is unlikely that Operation Barbarossa would have taken place and thence Operation Blue

I guess the point of this counter-factual question is could a capable general who had the same resources have fared any better, bearing in mind that it was Halder who ignored Hitler's plan to seize the Caucusses

Unlikely as Hitler kept changing the objectives of his armies in Russia

In theory yes. But I doubt it personally
