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.
Josh’s salary counts against the cap and they bet on him big time, the other 2 don’t. If push truly came to shove, Josh being traded or cut would cripple the team for years. That circumstances alone gives him a ton of “power”.
After that I would say Beane. He holds the personnel decisions etc and can easily say McD isn’t doing his job with the talent collected.
