Chiefs Jared Allen <=> Brandon Albert? - Page 5

**petegz28** · 12-01-2008, 08:03 AM

I would throw Dorsey in the mix but Albert has been the only one performing. Now, was Albert worth trading Allen?

I say, yes. Albert has been great for a rookie who did not play the pre-season, etc, etc. I think good-great LT's are a more valued commodity than a good-great DE.

So with all the talk going on about Allen, was Albert worth the trade?

And Gonzalez.......it all comes down to Carl.

He's an asshole, and lets his ego get in the way of everything.

If Carl would have handled Jared right
they could have tagged and signed him a year latter
but so far I like the trade -it will take time to tell though

What was he supposed to do with Gonzalez?

Pure genious i tell ya.

Thing about it is, McIntosh is a lot better a LT than RT, and could have done a lot better over there this season, then this draft we draft Smith/Oher.

How many games this year could Thigpen won with a good pass rush? How much would it have helped Dorsey? etc

If I know one thing is that you dont EVER trade young good players.

**** the whole DUI shit, there are far more worse things than that.

Who was acquired with the picks we received in the trade?
I know for certain that we got Albert, but was it Morgan/Charles or Flowers/Charles to go along with a franchise LT?

I'm sure you realize that's an absurd comparison.

We got Flowers in the 2nd rd with our own pick.

Albert Cottam and Morgan I believe is what we got thru the Allen trade.

When there are better tackles than Albert in this years draft. We could have waited a year and would have come out better IMO.

The day Albert asks for a ridiculous amount of money more than his actual worth, then I'd be willing to bet it would be considered.

Adding 4 DWI's and the claim that he'd never sign a long-term deal in KC would all but guarantee it.

Charles/Morgan.

Then thus far, it's a push at best.

His slate with the substance abuse program was wiped clean. That means nothing as far as Goodell is concerned.

Make no mistake, if Allen gets popped for another DUI -- which would mean another arrest after he's already been suspended for this same offense -- he is screwed beyond all recognition.

How? They are both backups. One in which NEVER sees the field b/c he can't beat out a worthless cover safety in Bernard Pollard.

As many have said, getting a long term left offensive tackle, a running back and safety are easily worth the one year of Jared Allen.

He's a ****ing rookie, big deal. Just because he hasn't been able to see the field this year doesn't mean shit. Different players progress at different levels.
