Mike Shanahan was Ready to Leave Washington after 2012 Season

Because they have a guy on the bench that took all the off season work, played very well in his one start and they want to take a look at him. If he plays well then that helps the organization, whether he's traded or not. That's why.

Because we have a guy ON THE BENCH? So f'n what?

Now we're going to have a GUY ON THE BENCH that we used 4 picks to get that clearly needs to work for us to have a future.

We get nothing by playing Cousins. Nothing. It is a lose-lose situation. He plays "well" and immediately we have some BS controversy even though Rob is the only QB that matters. He has to be good or we're doomed. If his isn't our QB in 1/2/3 years then we're terrible. Even if KC is great he won't be good enough to make up for what Rob is supposed to be. If KC "sucks" then we've pissed away his trade value.

Well, here's another disgruntled player voicing his opinion.

We're "doomed" if RG3 is a bust? I wonder if Chicago thought that when Josh McCown came off the bench to outplay Cutler. Look how well Nick Foles is playing? In other words... every single year in the NFL a lower paid or lower drafted guy outplays the incumbent. That's the nature of professional football.

Also the bolded comments simply make 0 sense. So if Cousins comes in a plays like he did against Cleveland then that's not good enough??? SMH. Who gives a damn about a controversy? I want the best guy on the field.

I want the best guy on the field.No, you want Cousins on the field.

See that's where MS is a bold face liar and why I think it's performance based. If he was worried about him getting injured then there's no way you send him out there on that field. Had RG3 played well last week, he'd be taking the field Sun. Obviously MS has no balls to just come out and say the truth.

If it's performance based. He should have sat Haslet down and Buns. He should have benched Plolumbus and benched Lichenstiger and Chester. We have Gettis and Compton. He should have benched London Fletcher. No, he went for Robert because he is showing his power. Believe me if you had've saw the 4th quarter against KC with Cousins at QB.

I think anyone with a clue knows Mike had total control of the franchise, from top to bottom. And it makes his leaks about Snyder being the push for RG, Snyder interfering with Mike's coaching/mentoring, look all the more pathetic.


As I've said before, it's hard to find a coach more responsible for his team's results than Mike Shanahan in DC, because he's had so much control. Along that same line of thought he's the worst coach in football right now.

We're "doomed" if RG3 is a bust? I wonder if Chicago thought that when Josh McCown came off the bench to outplay Cutler. Look how well Nick Foles is playing?

Yes we are. For what we spent on him he has to be better than just a good QB. He has to be fantastic. Fantastic in a way that KC really has no shot to be.

If he plays like he did against Cle EVERY GAME FOR THE REST OF HIS CAREER it is not good enough. We spent 4 high picks. He has to be Brady/Manning/Rogers level. Not Phillip Rivers good.

If Shanny gets fired Haynesworth and McNabb will have a two man celebration party.
