Riley, for one, was deemed not ready at the beginning of this season. Lack of OTAs were blamed on his not understanding the assignments well enough. What evidence do you have that says Riley was ready before Shanahan put him in?

Agreed.
It's easy to sit back and say play the young guys, well often the young guys simply aren't ready and you may do more harm by playing them too early.
Riley is the perfect example, and as good as he looks at times, he still looks lost other times, and you can see why he was being held back.
