Allen/Shanny trade a high draft pick for a big name vet past his prime and people rejoice??
I'll never understand our fan base.
Sure, this is for a QB (something we've needed forever), but the fact remains we have many other pressing needs, and now only 4 draft picks to address them. The Patriots have three times that many by the way. The best teams in this league build through the draft.
I've been "wait and see" on Allen/Shanny since day one. That fact remains. Big time.

Actually, Cerrato traded a second round pick for Jason Taylor, and a majority of people rejoiced. If this end of the interwebs was any indication, it was the exact same voices as well.
There was more ambiguity in the Jason Taylor trade, like maybe we were going to use him creatively in a way that the Dolphins hadn't (sorry to remind you). Here, we have to wonder what the heck Shanahan knows about extending McNabb's career that Andy Reid didn't. Because if this is a battle of understanding quarterbacks, I'm jumping ship on Shanahan. He's going to get crushed if it's just his assessment of a player against Reid's.
There's got to be more here, I would think.
