Allen has 74 sacks and forced 14 fumbles in his 5 years in Minny. He's made 4 probowls and is a 3 time all pro in those 5 years.
They got more than they bargained for. Allen was a better player for them than he was for KC. They overpaid for him in draft picks then, which is why I liked the deal. Great pass rushers are expensive man, and Allen is a great pass rusher.
Nobody got screwed in this deal. People must have forgotten how bad of shape Minny's pass rush was in. They had been drafting bust pass rushers with 1st round picks for years. It worked out in exactly the way they needed it too. It worked out for us too. They didn't need Charles. They have the only RB in the NFL BETTER than Charles. We had LJ, whom I never liked due to his woman beating lifestyle and always thought was over-rated as a player.
Their QB situation, including the fallout from appeasing Favre, is the real reason they've had problems and they've still had far fewer than KC has.
