Is the End Near For Bruce Allen?

Warthog · 07-30-2019, 10:33 AM

Allen plays it safe, which is why the team drifts around the 6-7 win range. Keeping the team just good enough not to get fired, but never good enough to really have a very good season.

Allen will retire once the new stadium gets announced. Until then, settle in. Right now his stock is low, however when the new stadium deal is done he will call that his lasting contribution and in 4 years we'll be saying "Bruce Allen doesn't know shit about football but he sure can build a hell of a stadium!"

CBS news is now reporting that the relationship between Bruce Allen and Trent Williams is "fractured". hmmm. Does that sound like the Cousins fiasco again? Last year USA Today did a poll of player reps and Bruce Allen was considered the WORST in the NFL to deal with.

Haha I saw that earlier. The moat idea is dumb AF but you know Snyder loves flashy shit so the new stadium will definitely be creative in some way.

I'd rather see a stadium built to maximize the noise level. Fed Ex is the worst for sound, among all its other problems.

Bruce Allen keeps his job, regardless of the team’s record, because he is Dan Snyder’s toadie. He says and does the things that Snyder dictates, so that Snyder has deniability. He takes the press punches and fan’s ire instead of Snyder receiving them. The Redskins first had Cerrato to be Snyder’s boot licker and the fan’s punching bag, now Bruce Allen has the job.

Bruce Allen is the press and fan punching bag to protect Dan Snyder. He is the mouth piece for Dan Snyder.
He is the conduit so that Dan Snyder can stick his grimy little mitts into the team’s business without looking like he’s interfering. He’s the toadie and yes man for Dan Snyder. He’s the extrovert for Dan Snyder’s introverted nature. It doesn’t matter what BA’s record is, until he becomes so much of a liability and everyone screams for his firing that he must be replaced. The last person in this role was a guy named Vinny Cerrato. After about 10 miserable seasons he was fired and replaced by BA. BA took over all the jobs that Cerrato had: to protect, suck up to, agree with and carry out the commands of Danny Snyder. Eventually Bruce Allen will be fired, as Cerrato was, because he appears to be incompetent. He will be replaced by another person with the same job: to be the front guy and VP for the team, but really he’s just a suck up and puppet of Dan Snyder!!

The fiasco of not taking the Texan trade (2 x 1st, 1 x 2nd, two players) for TW will be ultimately blamed on Bruce Allen. But this was Dan Snyder’s decision-100 %.

Bro you really think they were offering that for TW?

LOL. TW is early 30's, injured every year, only top of the line when he's healthy (which is never for 16 games a year anymore).

Tunsil is young and healthy and has his prime years ahead of him. Texans just solved their LT problem for the next 5+ years.

We might be able to get a 1+ for Trent, but it would never be what the Dolphins got for Tunsil.

I agree. We would never have received that big a windfall for TW. But getting a very good deal with let’s say a 1st and 2nd is better than what we have now - which is a big goose egg - NOTHING. The trade market for LT is quickly drying up and neither BA nor TW will back down this year, meaning he doesn’t play. So what do you think he’s worth NEXT year? A lot less than what Houston offered this season.

Nothing has happened yet, I highly recommend waiting for something to happen then making judgement on it because it's pointless to speculate.

The trade market for TW could explode if a contender has their LT go down with an ACL in week 1. The trade market for TW could explode if a contender realizes their hopes are shot because they're trotting out the equivalent of Ereck Flowers at LT.

Have some patience guy. I'm all about jumping on this FO when they fuck up, but they haven't fucked up on this particular matter yet.

What did Houston offer?

After this team implodes once again best believe Bruce will be gone.

I would have taken the 1 from the pats for Trent tried to sweeten it by asking for their third or fourth but confess I am no professional GM.
