I'd take the best DE in the game over a rising RB superstar and a bunch of question marks yes. We start winning, and I'll change my mind in a heartbeat. And you have my apologies for those remarks. I don't normally respond to the personal attacks that way. Not my style. |

If you look at this season, statistically Allen had another big year... 14.5 sacks, forced a few fumbles. Not bad at all. That will make you a lot of money. If you break it down, he got 4.5 sacks in one game against Green bay and 3 sacks in the other. In the first game, Green Bay's starting left tackle (a pro bowler last year) was inactive, and his replacement (who normally plays guard) left the game with a knee injury. Allen did play against Clifton in the second game and played well, but regardless, half his sacks this year were piled up in two games against the team that ranked dead last this year in sacks allowed. #32 of 32. Allen had 7 sacks in the other 14 games - respectable, but not world-beating. He didn't do much in the second half of the year and in the postseason. If he hadn't played in Green Bay's division we might be talking about how Allen fell off this year. |

I am glad to know that the trade has the potential to take us to a Super Bowl championship. But potential doesn't mean jack shit until it's realized. I will question this trade until we get there. And I seriously question whether we will with Matt Cassel as our QB. I've NEVER been a fan of that move. I'm not a doom and gloom fan. I'm eternally optimistic. However, that doesn't mean I won't be asking a lot of questions about moves we make until we get there. This is the most glaring one of them all, even though it has absolutely nothing to do with the current regime. |

It may have been at best an okay trade for the Chiefs but it was a great trade for the Vikings. A great pass rusher and a starting center. Still Chiefs one, Vikings zero.
