Bruce Allen or Mike Shanahan

Somewhat. But I'm not taking anything away from Shanahan the head coach. I question his evaluation of talent. The NY Midgets have Jerry Reese scouting and drafting their players and Tom Coughlin coaching them. That's the same formula that was used during the glory years with Bobby Bethard and Joe Gibbs. Shanahan's evaluation of talent can also be questioned in his decision making as HC like releasing Terrance Austin and keeping Aldrick Robinson. Austin was simply the better and more reliable wide receiver.

Where is Austin now?

Not sure I'd use a move like that to point out talent evaluation issues.

Gibbs wasn't completely out of the equation in the scouting process back in those days, so give him a little credit there. You've mentioned Terrance Austin. What team is he starting for now? I suppose you're not going to give Shanahan any credit for Albert Morris? You would agree that Shanahan made the right decision in starting Fred Davis, finding guys like Pierre Garçon and Josh Morgan? I personally think Mike and Bruce have done a pretty good job in finding talent for the offense.

I really wish Austin would have stepped up and shown that on the field the 3 or more yrs he was here instead of riding the bench every year.

Now that Garcon is probably done for the year lets IR him and let him get his surgery. Move Aldrick to his position since he's the next fastest WR, and resign Austin to make you happy.

Robinson's speed doesn't mean squat unless he catches the damn football. He is talented and all WRs drop passes but Robinson drops too many. As far as Austin goes, I don't predict that they'll bring him back.
