Re: Lost Some Faith In Shanahan
I would have taken him out too but now that we've had some time to reflect I think the criticism Shanahan is taking is a little unwarranted.
We don't know all the facts as far as what was going on down on the sidelines or what info he had, or didn't have.
RG3 isn't the first guy in sports history to play hurt. Plenty of guys have been lauded for their courage for playing hurt or sick. And I expect if he somehow pulled that game out he'd be a hero for it. Since we lost it's easier to label it as a bad decision.
It's funny all week anytime I've heard an ex-player talk about it, most have supported the decision to keep him in the game, while those in the media that aren't ex-players are saying it was a bad move.
