i feel like i am getting the socratic method here.
you have a lot more knowledge and answers than me.
i always thought Allen did contracts and didnt do the drafting and player evaluating in Tampa. I assume from your comment that he did.
but what has Bruce Allen done to make him a qualified player evaluator?
1st round picks of micheal clayton, carnell williams and gaines adams do not look so great in hind sight. his later rounds dont look great either.
this past FA offseason when he was fully in control for us doesnt look so great. lauvau as a day one priority? porter 4.5 mil per? all the concerns that kept other teams away from hatcher came true .. why didnt we give them the same weight?
why should fans not be disappointed that we have not been told any specific plans to improve on the way our roster is assembled?
if allen really has been a player evaluator for all these years, yes then i would let him have another go at it this year.
But if he hasnt been doing that, then we need to bring in someone who does and can. he had this past year to play GM and he failed to address major issues with this roster that came back to bite us during games and are still issues today.
do you trust bruce allen's ability to evaluate talent? is there no one else better avialable?
