Despite the fact that Jay Gruden said that RGIII is the No.1 QB going into next season, I don't think that things will work out for Robert here.
I think RG going into the season as the starter definitely came down from DS. I also think JG will move forward with this so that in the likely event it doesnt work out JG will be able to go back to DS and say "we tried it twice with your guy so now we are going to try my guy".
People in general.......always want to envision that DS is behind all provocative decisions regarding the team. As heard on m&m this morning, I'd be more inclined to believe it is more an issue of reducing offseason drama And BS speculation

Pretty clear he's pointing the finger in a big way at Snyder
Mike Shanahan blames Daniel Snyder for RGIII’s infatuation with being an Aaron Rodgers-type guy - The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/dc-sports-bog/wp/2015/02/18/mike-shanahan-blames-daniel-snyder-for-rgiiis-infatuation-with-being-an-aaron-rodgers-type-guy/)
I believe about 3/4ths of that interview. I do believe the part about Snyder enabling Griffin and having him go into the coaches office about plays that are unacceptable. That isn't some shit a coach makes up for no reason. In fact, he was very respectable about Robert in the interview.
The McNabb trade? Not sure I buy that, but SS has said that often times Bruce would come up to somebody and say that "you can do what you like, but Mr. Snyder strongly feels that..." statements. Could it have happened? Probably so, but more likely a piss poor move that blew up in Mike's face. The one thing that makes me believe Mike more than Dan is Mike's history with trading. When you look back, he didn't give up a bunch of picks for players. It wasn't his thing, and for it all of a sudden to start at the Skins? I do believe Dan was so enamored with Griff that he and Bruce talked Mike into that disaster of a trade.

Good points, Id probably believe half of it. I think Shanny did want McNabb and was good with it. I do believe the Shanny part where he accused of Snyder of meddling because Snyder clearly has a history of that.

How about all four sucked/suck.
Shanahan was/is obviously a big reason why this team was terrible. Allen was/is a big reason why this team sucks. Snyder was/is a big reason why this team sucks. Griffin has shown more bad than good, so he sucks.
Everyone that has run this franchise for the past 15 years has sucked and still sucks. That is why this franchise is one of the worst franchises in the NFL.

Bingo.
Mike Shanahan did his share in continuing to f*ck this franchise over. Can't believe some people here believe everything he says or act like he's a f*cking victim. He can go to hell for all I care.
I don't believe everything he says. But the stuff about Griffin I believe 100%. What part of his interview do you think he lied about?

All starts at the top, we easily have one of the worst owner in all of sports. He is the one constant.
I'm not debating there is some truth to what Mike is saying, but my problem with him has always been he doesn't take any blame on himself.
And what's his motivation at this point to keep talking about the past? He's obviously trying to remove some of the tarnish on his name. There isn't a more convenient person to point the finger at than Snyder.

I agree.
Shanahan still deserves a lot of the blame. Just like everyone else.

Shanahan was happy to get along when he was getting 7 million a year...
