How would you feel if Shanahan benches RGIII?

Or he might not hold the ball, get it out quicker and take less sacks.

Like the one Polumbus had to recover last weekend?

What you say may be true but I don't care if Shanny has some devious reason (or a good one, for that matter) for benching RGIII.

What I care about is getting RGIII off the field so that Kyle doesn't have any more opportunities to do something stupid, like running the Triple Option, to get RGIII seriously injured again. I want the new Head Coach to have a healthy RGIII.

How do you know that Dan Snyder doesn't feel the same way I do, knowing that he is going to be starting over after this season and probably fearing, as I do, that another serious injury to RGIII could be the coup de grace to this horrible season?

Fine, let's sit all the starters then if we're concerned about player health.

I don't want to lose the likes of Morris, Garcon, Williams, Orakpo, etc.

Sit 'em all down.

Why did he take Shanahan 5 games and 24 sacks to finally become concerned about RG?

Play Griffin he needs to be out there

I guess people were already tuned out by the time Cousins came in last week. Expect more of the same.

Yeah, the difference was pretty nonexistent...

Is Shanahan going to bench Paul for telling the truth:

RG3 finishes the year. i dont care how many reasons you have to sit him. if you really want ill double however many u have to not.
if shanahan benches this dude... wow... its gonna be atrocious.. This cannot happen people... it just cant i dont wanna hear it. cousins my ass. our heisman winner is the better player just stop.

I agree that it will hurt Cousins' trade value. RGIII can at least escape when the line folds, Cousins will just end up taking sack fumbles and looking like a turnover-prone ninny muggins.

Ha! I appreciated the Christmas-eque reference.

Paul needs to keep it in house, Shanny shouldnt bench him though.

I do sort of find it funny when Shanahan tells Paul not to trash other plays directly after he trashed both the team's kicker and punter.

And tossed the OL under the bus as well.
