No coach should want to ruin a players confidence or trade value IMO. The way this scenario might play out two players could become damaged goods before all is said and done in my humble opinion. The team itself is not ready for Allen, but Buffalo doesn't have another option.
If Beane pushed for the McCarron trade and the way he talked his pro's pro up it wouldn't surprise me, I would be close to sending the beane head packing especially considering the neglected Oline when you knew a 1st round rookie was being drafted.
Gruden is laughing his ass off right about now.
Thanks OP for an enjoyable read as always, much appreciated.
