I think what VC proved is that you can make good choices with what picks you have, and that's not enough. Allen will have good picks, and busts, probably at a higher rate, but we will have more picks, and less throwaway picks. I don't see him giving up a 2nd and 6th for example for that guy from Miami. In addition, and much more importantly, he will rebuild a healthy team environment, and will - i believe - not play cushy toes with the owner OR "special" players, at least not to the detriment of the team. (what goes on behind closed doors stays behind closed doors
). Further, we will have a better respect and credibility around the team, something lacking under VC and that should indeed lead to a better future. If you just look at drafts VC could make a case for himself staying. But he failed at the totality of the EVPOFO or whatever he was. Bruce Allen seems to have proven that he is, at the least, capable of running a professional organization. I can live with that.
