If anything, his desire to see the Skins win will make his decision-making more shrewd I'd think, if it even factors in at all. I doubt he's overvaluing his players because they're in B&G rather than Pewter and Red. He'd probably give the same effort and expertise to any job he's hired to do.

I trust him. I do like that we're not handing out stupid contracts.

There's no 3-13 phobia...look how many quality players the Jaguars, Bills and Browns have signed this offseason.

You missed my point.

It appears that there are several players which we coveted but missed on because we didn't offer enough. The fact that the Jags, etc., get the players they want just shows that they are smarter about market realities than we are.

The fact that this has happened repeatedly is on Allen. And there must be a reason for this repeated behavior. I am perfectly willing to admit that I was engaging in unsubstantiated speculation about why but there must be SOME reason.

I agree that it is good that we have not handed out ugly big contracts. But it is possible to be too cheap, too.
