Allen, I'm not sure how handcuffed he was by the Tampa owners' financial problems.

Tampa Bay's financial problems might have something to do with free agency, but not the draft. Allen's draft record in Tampa bay was atrocious. As far as Shanahan goes, i agree he tends to do better on offense than defense, but he's still not that good.
I have no confidence in either of them when it comes to acquiring personnel. Thats why I want them to go the safest, most conservative route possible in 2010. After the draft, we'll probably reorganize/overhaul the personnel/scouting department and bring in a a solid personnel guy to work with Shanahan and Allen. Shanahan is without a doubt a great coach. Allen is without a doubt a good leader and contract/financial guy. Neither is known for being good in acquiring personnel.
