I can think of three games off the top of my head that if Allen had shown up in the second half, we might very well have won.
Being a difference maker means just that, for all sixty minutes of a game. |

I can see that argument as more of a justification for "we sucked with him, so we can't suck that much more without him".

We didn't have a 3rd DE, though. Wilkerson applied zero pressure, so he didn't get a lot of playing time.

i can think of several games that he single-handedly won in his time with the chiefs, too.

It's funny to see how many turn on their own, because a player wants to get paid. This happens every ****ing year with mutiple teams-I'm surprised so many are taking the FOs side, when the track record of Carl is highly documented. Sorry, but Carl's a prick and he has handled this as unprofessionally as possible.

If he wanted to get paid, he should have learned from the first or second DWI, not the third. And that's assuming he's learned his lesson at all. If you're naive enough to think that him being (supposedly) clean for one whole year mean he'll never make that mistake again (after making it 3 times in the past) then by all means, continue to bash Carl. Allen isn't worth Freeney money WITHOUT all the off the field issues. |

Its a team game. There are not many positions on a football team where a single man can make huge difference in the outcome of a game.
QB is the biggest impact maker.

Nevertheless, the guy is a young franchise player at a position where you can play at your apex for a long, long time. He is worth the risk.

We will be lucky to win 3 games this year if we trade him.

He performed like a superstar for one season, which happened to be a contract year. Sorry, but history shows that player will never outperform that season. Does anyone here REALLY think that Allen is going to CONSISTENTLY put up 14 sacks a year for the next 5 years? I don't. |

I also understand the DUI thing, I really do, but I'm also smart enough to know you can put stipulations in contracts-it happens all the time-so whose the one being naive?l
