We are the Carlito's Way of the NFL... Just when we think we are out of the Cesspool Circus, we are pulled right back in...

[quote=Mattyk;1047665]Let's call it what is really is, a BS move on Shanny's part to further tick off Snyder. This is Shanny's version of the swinging gate play.

He's not concerned with RG's health, otherwise why trot him out there on a snowy and sloppy field last week? Why didn't he have him sit out the first few games of the season? And why aren't other key players getting sat down to protect them as well?

Calling it anything other than a power play is just naive.[/quote]

This basically sums up how I feel about this move. It might actually happen, but if it does, the only thing it does is fuel my dislike for MS even more.

[quote=Fiversons;1047782]With the current Circus in town and state of the periptual shittiness of the Franchise, I really don't care who starts... I care more about who is going to be our next HC and how many candidates actually want to be associated with this train wreck we call The Washington Redskins...[/quote]

I dont think any big names will want to come here because they likely dont need the $ and they know it will end badly with their reputation in tatters. That leaves 2nd tier guys who IMO will come in for a payday, take their chances and see what happens. Maybe it will work out but more than likely it wont. In the end this organization is too screwed up for for any coach to come in and make a difference.

Unfortunately, I agree with everything you said... I don't think there is an answer at this point... At least this time of year, I always have Duke basketball to transition to, which does a good job of taking the pain away...

Have the Atlanta Falcons pulled Matt Ryan? No.
Have the Pittsburgh Steelers pulled Ben Roethlisberger? No.
Have the Buffalo Bills pulled EJ Manuel? No.
Have the NY Giants pulled Eli Manning? No.
Did the Minnesota Vikings pull Adrian Peterson? No.





SO why in the fuck should the Redskins pull RGIII even though the season is lost? To protect him? Well fuck, why not just sit him out the next year as well. May get hurt you know. /facepalm

This kid needs all the work he can get.

Absolutely. He needed to sit in weeks 1-4 not now. He needs work and live game action is the best experience he can get.

I don't agree with the..."he needs more reps" BS. We're 13 games in and RG3 has had a couple good games. Don't ya think he'd still be on the field if he was playing well?? Plus Ben R. and Ryan aren't playing as bad as RG3 is.

Dude cousins has looked bad also he has 4 tds and 5 ints and 2 fumbles in his career

[quote=FRPLG;1047775]I think DS has caused plenty of issues in the past. I am seriously struggling to see how this mess can be laid at his feet. Beyond the obvious notion that all of this ends at his doorstep at a certain point it has to be acknowledged that all of this has been caused by Shanny. What exactly did DS do to cause any of this? No one has really laid out a single thing other than that he had dinner with the team's QB. Having dinner with Rob caused Shanny to shit the bed for 4 straight years basically? I don't buy that at all. That's crap.[/quote]

He hired him!! :doh: Another failed hire by Dan.

Re: How would you feel if Shanahan benches RGIII?
 

the stated reason for possibly benching rg3 has to do with his health and coming off major reconstructive knee surgery. not his performance ... so i dont think the ryan or big ben or eli comparisons are the same situations as none of them have had the offseason rg3 did.

we are talking about a 23 year old with 2 reconstrucitve knee surgeries to the same knee in the past 3 years.

why wouldnt you sit him for the next meaningless 3 games with a lame duck coach and an Offensive scheme that will not be here next year behind a crappy ass O line?

i understand people are pissed at mike im not happy with him either, but taking emotion out of the decision, you have to agree benching rg3 for the last meaningless games is the best thing to do.

the is zero point for him to continue to play for this lame duck coaching staff.

Twice this year opposing players said he shouldnt be playing after playing us.

you can hate mike but agree the best thing is to sit him and protect him.

why have rg3 play any more snaps for a shanny team and game plan?

Re: How would you feel if Shanahan benches RGIII?
 

[quote=SouperMeister;1047720]Except he did check down repeatedly the first half against the Giants, and got into a nice rhythm. He needs to get better at looking off defenders. The INT that he telegraphed to D. Johnson last week should be a good learning experience.[/quote]

My bad for one qtr he checked down to his hot read. I'm not writing the guy off its just that RGIII pissed me off with all his media crap.

Eli has earned the right to stay on the field.

Re: How would you feel if Shanahan benches RGIII?
 

A 2nd year QB that had no preseason doesn't need work?

Ok.
