I agree with this. Beane takes a lot of heat but I suspect McD, y'know, the guy who got him the job, is his puppet master. McD has no feel for offence, it's really just not in his DNA, he is dead to it. Seattle's head coach earned his stripes on the same side of the ball as McD but has produced a dynamic, innovative offence featuring an explosive passing attack (the more so since he now has his field stretcher, which was the one thing that arguably was lacking. Shaheed evidently just didn't move the needle for us - even if it would have given us exclusive bargaining rights and a compensatory pick if he walked. He also had the acumen to hire Klint Kubiak after an extensive search, saying he could design an offence to bring out the best from the talent on the roster. Have we done that with Allen? If the Seahawks had Josh under center they would be strong Super Bowl favourites imo).
