When it’s offseason and the Bills miss the playoffs and fans and players are pissed who has the real power? I think it’s Allen, McD then Beane. I wish it was Beane, Allen then McD. But when the shit hits the fan and the owner is 1 on 1 in a room with each of these guys I think it goes A,M,B.
Allen probably, but he won’t exert it. He is loved above the others for sure.
As to Beane and McDermott, Beane is probably in a better position because despite a few draft misses, he can point to a hell of a deep defensive roster and other excellent players he brought in and say “my job is to give McDermott good players he asked for and I have done that.”
So i don’t think its really a talent problem, even if they could use another WR. I think that is the product of McDermott wanting his defensive personnel more than wanting more offensive weapons.
