If you are referring to the period of rule by emperors, not all emperors were inept. Apart for the period of military anarchy of the crisis of the third century, most of them were not bad administrators.
Probably Constantine's greatest regret is that he was never able to achieve unity of the Christian Church. He had believed that a united Christian Church would serve an imperial purpose of achieving unity in the Roman Empire, but Christianity remained disunited throughout his long reign. His extravagance, particularly his massive program of constructing civil buildings and magnificant churches with state funds, hastened the decline of the Roman Empire. Not only did he almost bankrupt the state, his swingeing taxes on the lower and middle classes, and his inept fiscal management, removed much of the incentive to maintain the real economy. Setting in train the process of converting the empire to Christianity, aligned with creating a culture that paganism had to be totally destroyed, led eventually to the onset of the Dark Ages.
The leadership of the Roman army had to be pretty good or else the Romans would not have been able to win so many wars and conquer so many territories. Over the years, of course, there were inept leaders who got their command by political appointment rather than by military knowledge, but on the whole, the senate and later the emperors, appointed able, knowledgeable men to command their armies.

In 63 BCE, Rome intervened in the region and sacked Jerusalem. From that point on, the local government was effectively in Roman hands, but until the year 6 CE, Judea was a quasi-independent client state of the Roman Empire. By that year, the government got so inept that the population appealed to Rome, and Rome deposed the ruler and annexed Judea, Samaria and Idumea. Aside from a brief period of nominal autonomy under Herod Agrippa from 41 to 44 CE, the Roman provence of Judea was ruled by Prefects and (after Herod Agrippa) Legates. Roman rule was interrupted by two great revolts (66-72 CE and 132-135), and after the second revolt, the Jewish population was suppressed, the land was renamed Palaestina (after the Philistines, traditioinal enemies of the Jews) and Jerusalem was largely demolished and a new city built from which Jews were banned. It is improper to call the land Palestine before the second great revolt.
