Exactly and the idea Payton did that is just absurd. He ‘endorsed’ (we don’t even know what that really means in this context) Allen because he was a good DC to him and they were friends. Not something anyone should over analyse or blame Payton for.
Loomis still made a decision that he had 100% control over and it’s that simple. I get the upset over the way SP left but people shouldn’t re-write history.
