Not saying the pros outweighed the cons, but the Saints did get to see which players kept playing their best when all seemed lost and those who didn't play their best.

Also, some players were used differently under Rizzi so that provided more player evaluation information as well.

I think that's important to know, so I think it did provide some good. Not saying that outweighs a higher draft pick.

I concur and yet if the Titanic has hit the iceberg and it's going down (7 game losing streak) removing the captain of the ship is an unnecessary gut punch. You should allow the captain the dignity to go down w/ the ship, not remove him so another person can come in and make everyone feel comfortable about a still sinking ship. Or in Rizzi's case...just slow down the sinking. He was never going to surmount the injuries anymore than Allen would have.

I know everyone absolutely wanted and needed something to happen in that moment but Allen would have been fired end of season regardless.

Still think it was an emotional decision spearheaded by Mrs B that ultimately did nothing in the grand scheme of things except satisfy the blood lust people had for Allen in that moment.
