Bruce Allen coexisted in Oakland as Al Davis' "GM" for many many years and we know who did the drafting and trading there, then followed Gruden to Tampa 2 years after Gruden won the Sb there (Basically Gruden hooked him up with a cush job) and who do you think was really making the decisions? Shanahan has made all of them for 4 years and thats why Allen can claim no blame and keep his job now. Who do you think is making them now? Allen has said basically that he will go along with what the coach and personnel department want, is that what a GM does? I am positive 100% thats not how Beathard did it. Does this mean Allen has an easy out when this doesn't work out as well? Does this sound like Vinny 2.0 yet?
I guess we will see, then when it backfires we can pretend that we really did have a GM and it didn't work so why not have a few more years of Snyder Fantasy Football League in 2017.
