Last thing about Allen...since you mentioned Gunther, his agent went crazy relating exactly how much Jared Allen LOVES Gunther Cunningham. Loves him. He says he's surprised Jared hasn't filed some sort of paperwork to adopt him as a second father. So this was not a decision that Jared took lightly.
As for LJ, I agree with Burn. They should've moved him last year. He's the player at risk, not Jared Allen. He is a me first player, period. He can't block...or won't, one of the two. He has below average hands for a running back. He wants to run the ball and nothing else. Now he hasn't been in trouble off the field recently, but he has had his scrapes and he doesn't exaclty run with a great crowd. I also agree with Syl. He was pretty good last year despite having a shell of an O-line in front of him. At some point as a manager, you have to make the decision to look to the future and quit spinning your wheels. Carl Peterson has been spinning his wheels for a few seasons now. Most Chiefs fans want his head.
The Chiefs should take the best available player at #5 and it ain't Matt Ryan. I just hope they don't take Clady!
