The Front Office: Adam Peters and Roster Construction

My question is if Allegretti is such a great center and Baid was awful making line calls why wasn’t Allegretti the starter the last 2 years??? Is he just magically great now??
Great question. And it’s because I don’t think that’s the real reason. He was unemployed for like five minutes before the Chargers snapped him up, so they certainly don’t think it’s a problem. To me there are only two plausible reasons that I’ve heard. One is that they realized he was damaged goods and likely to get injured. And I’m hoping it’s that one, because the other one is that ownership really is being that cheap that we would have to cut a decent player who could’ve helped us just to save a few million dollars.
 
Re: Biadasz

- Dallas didn't put up a fight to keep him 2 years and that is a team that typically recognizes OL talent (not sure people remember this)
- "Awful" is probably an over reaction - Allegretti being "better" at something doesn't automatically make Biadasz bad at it
- The plan was always to upgrade - witness the push to bring in Linderbaum - Allegretti's presence just made the FO willing to let Biadasz go early
- I haven't seen a single reporter suggest that it was a money move and they have all been working their sources inside the org over this one issue
 
It's unfortunate our FO didn't have a better grip on what the C market would look like when it comes to Linderbaum, I'm not sure how much info front offices can get pre free agency, but it would have been nice to have a plan B in place so we could quickly course correct.

That would take forward thinking. From the outside perception, this feels more like reactionary front office then the opposite. Of course, I’m not in the room so I have no real idea. I’m just saying from a fan perspective, it feels that way. The front office needs to be more aggressive and act swiftly, or other teams will and we will continue to be a mediocre franchise.

Actually, before the FO made the rounds on background with all the local reporters talking about how Biadasz could barely tie his shoes in this scheme and couldn’t be trusted to make the line calls or read the lunch menu anymore, the very first reports when all the local people were still confused by the move were that the main benefit they could see was that we’d be saving his millions of dollars in salary on the budget, if not on the cap.

Then the logic from the FO made the rounds and everyone stopped talking about that. But it was basically the only viable explanation until the idea that he couldn’t make the line calls went around. Now that truism is bandied about like it was always common knowledge and not a new problem people were made aware of, but it was.

I wouldn’t take what the reporters who would possibly know say as gospel on this. It’s in their best interest not to imply that ownership is being cheap. It’s more like fans like me reading the tea leaves and trying to figure out a move that doesn’t make much sense otherwise. I’m fully on board with the possibility that Allegretti is going to be a lot better than people think and is in fact the better center, but letting go of a serviceable player to back him up remains perplexing. A wise man once told me you never kick your girlfriend out of the bedroom until you’re sure you got the next one lined up

And they actually kept him as the starter for 2 years. Wouldn't that have been obvious early in the first season? Quinn also was the DC in Dallas.

If Biadasz was actually this incompetent then he never would have been signed for 3 years and started 31 games.
