Dude, it's been a discussion since his rookie season that Allen's play isn't consistent.  He'll have a monster game and then be invisible the next couple weeks.  That's been a real thing with him.  Anyone that says otherwise is lying.  With that said, I hope we can make him an offer that he'll accept.  He's worth paying top 5 money, especially when teamed up with Walker.  But the concern that he'll get his bag and then become inconsistent again is real and valid.  

I always notice that you comment on my posts but really have nothing to contribute but some lame insult to me.  Like bro, relax.  First, I shouldn't take up so much of your time.  Second, Trolling, much like spamming the board will not be tolerated.  If a user's behavior is determined to be trolling in nature, posting privileges can be suspended.

Lighten up. You've been here long enough to get the joke.

We all poke fun at each other. When you drop a bad taek (of which 10-15M offer certainly was), you gotta expect a few jabs your way. Roll with em, kinda like the guy who started the week 9 stuff did.

On the topic, I still think your attempted analysis is way off base. You fail to acknowledge any of the so-called support that led to Allen's prior inconsistency; for several years, he was playing opposite Chaisson, and got negligible help in drawing focus from opposing linemen. He's never been asked to solely rush the passer like some other of the stat sheet heroes are. I don't see how you look at the present makeup of the team and say that the only change being his payroll that you would expect his talent, effort or character to change. He's been on some piss poor defenses and asked to carry the brunt of the load, and not once did he pout, demand a bag, or seek a ticket to greener pasture. The inconsistency, in my mind, is a symptom of the group that surrounded him in the past, not a result in him cherrry picking which teams were going to be best yields for his stat sheet, or conservation of effort to ensure he can chase a payday elsewhere when the rookie deal runs out.

If you've got concern that he changes who he is (and has been) once the check clears, I question whether you've been paying attention to him over the years.
