Worst Mistake of the Shanahan Era
There are a number of areas that can be questioned - selling the house for RG3 (I'm still in favor of this), passing on the chance to draft J.J. Watt or Robert Quinn in the 2011 draft (booooo!!!), etc. For me, the one decision I questioned from the beginning was ditching the 4-3, a perennial top-10 defense, and wasting resources building a 3-4 that would have been much better served bolstering the O-line and speed at WR. Shanahan knows exactly one thing about defense - he is clueless when it comes to building a good one. He broke the one part of the team that didn't need fixing when he arrived. What decision gives you the most heartburn with this broken team?

Re: Worst Mistake of the Shanahan Era
Giving up the farm to get RG3. No first round picks for 2 years. Bad move.

Rogers? Campbell? Landry? ST? Still crappy every year. Pats pick late in the first round every year. They have been contenders for over a decade. Doesn't matter if you don't have a franchise QB. As long as we do, the loss of first rounders won't mean jack.

Re: Worst Mistake of the Shanahan Era
Donovan McNabb <-- the only caveat being it netted us Alfred Morris.

Re: Worst Mistake of the Shanahan Era
Honestly I'd say the 3-4 defense and the whole McNabb fiasco.

Re: Worst Mistake of the Shanahan Era
Depends on what RG3 becomes. If he is bust it would be trading for him.
If not, McNabb. |

Re: Worst Mistake of the Shanahan Era
Shanny f*cked up the rotation by not sitting RG3 after halftime in the Seattle game.

I also would say not keeping rg3 out until after the bye and letting him use the first 4 weeks to tune up.
