When Shanahan says that he was going to bench McNabb after we were "mathmatically" removed from playoff contention, it leads me to believe that he indeed felt DMac gave the team the best shot at winning (at least up to that point) and now wants to put him on ice in terms of possibly protecting him in hope of trading him later when the season is over. I dunno, just guessing at this point.
