Chiefs Jared Allen trade still ticks me off - Page 3

What worse move can you make as a G.M. than to trade away the best young pass rushing DE in the game who is just coming into his prime? Makes me sick to watch the Vikings (even though its not their fault). This would be a totally different Defense if we hadnt made that trade. Besides the plays he makes he's the first guy there when someone else does firing up the team.

Watching Jared play today for the Vikings really bummed me out. **** Carl

I am happy for the guy though, just wish he was still a Chief.

I have been bitter about this trade ever since it was made, but now that Albert and Charles are starting to come around, I am able to live with it. I still think it was stupid, but I think what they got in return is going to end up being pretty dang good.

I will go on record stating that I hold no grudge with the Chiefs what so ever for allowing Oakland to have him.

None at all.

the old californias building? he was PAID for them to use his name iirc. he didnt open it

I think Jared Allen would be just as good in a 3-4 as he is in a 4-3...

I'm thinking DeMarcus Ware...

Whoa Whoa, as much as it sucked letting Jared Allen go, he did not want to be in KC anymore, plus we wouldn't have a runningback today named Jamaal Charles, nor a possible franchise O-lineman if he can get his act together named Branden Albert. Think about that first.

Allen is the best DE in the NFL IMO. Not the best "pass rushing" DE, but as an overall player, Allen is the best. Vs the Run he is spectacular, and rushing the passer he is incredible.

Boo ****ing Hoo. Its not like we didn't get anything out of that trade.

**BigMeatballDave** · 01-17-2010, 05:37 PM

I was never bitter about it. I didn't like it at 1st, but he did not want to be here. Now that we see the type of players we have in Albert and Charles, it may turn out to be one of Carls best moves.

True, true. That is what I talked about in my other post. Having Charles here has made the Allen trade look pretty good.

Why is it so hard for people to grasp this? His contract was going to be up, it was either trade him or lose him and get nothing in return.

It was the way Carl pissed him off. Jared wanted to stay a Chief. Jared was labled a troubled player but it was okay to sign LJ to that huge contract. The bullshit double standard.

IDK who told you that, but they were wrong.
