Kyle already had his QB of choice on the roster. Shanahan would seem to trust his son. There's no indication that Allen has authority over Shanahan on personnel matters.

They're talking about it on espn980 right now and i have to agree - this move was driven by Dan Snyder.
Seems that Kyle wanted him less than Mike. I think it came down to an ego thing, they thought whatever issues they saw on film could be corrected with their coaching. Turns out this old dog isn't interested in learning any new tricks.

Not buying that Snyder is driving any decision making. Knowing how much of a control freak Shanahan is... no way he would have come here unless he was guaranteed total control over the roster.
