My evaluation of Shanahan starts now

Shanahan told Danny it would take 5 years to reboot the franchise. I am pretty much in agreement with that concept. I don't give Shanahan a "pass" for his first two years but I, as Matty said, sometimes you gotta step back. He gutted his original roster and completely changed the franchise's approach to roster building. Along the way, quality players have been let go and other acquisitions have not lived up to expectations. At the same time, I believe that the foundation for long term winning may have been laid.

For me, this is the year for Shanahan to really show "the step forward". I am hopeful that it is. Between our schedule, division and rookie QB, however, I think double digit wins would be too much to ask. 8-8, 9-7, on the other hand seems attainable.

Lol, you mad huh?
Your perception of the events around Jason Campbell are skewed beyond belief.

Last I'll say on the matter because no one else wants to read an off topic derail about Campbell: I know its hard for Campbell fans to admit they were wrong but He's a backup in a league where Kolb and Skelton are competing for a starting spot.

If that doesn't clue you I don't know what else to say...

That is really not a fair statement CHI has a better QB situation then AZ. I am fairly positive JC would start over Kolb and/or Skelton if he played on AZ.

Campbell will never be more than a mediocre QB - whether as a starter or back-up. IMHO - Shanny saw that pretty quickly and hoped for better with McNabb. Unfortunately, McNabb turned out to be not even mediocre which set us back substantially. Shanallen should have recognized it but didn't. Regardless, we would still need a QB coming into this draft. Bottom line, whatever took us to getting a guy like RG3, I am incredibly happy where we have ended it up.

Past failed QB's are like former girlfriends you break it off with - you had some laughs, you learn some stuff, and maybe keep some pleasant memories, but, ultimately, when the right one comes along, you just don't care about them.

RGIII is here. I just don't care about those who went before.

Well said.

So are we going to the regular season with one fullback?

If I had to guess, I figure they will put Paul there occasionally.
