Also Manning had deflected blame from himself in his younger days. Imagine if RG3 came out and said they had "protection issues" like Manning did after the Colts played Pitt a couple of years back. Hopefully RG3 will learn just like Manning did how to say the right things and be a better QB. Or maybe Cousins will instead.

Plus no one would be whining about a lack of weapons. Manning would make his own weapons out of whoever they trotted out on the field with him.

Possibly, but Manning would have ran Shanahan out of town a year ago, opening the door to find better players.

This situation would never happen with manning because manning is a classy hall of fame player and rg3 is like a petulant child who feels he's entitled to respect he hasn't earned.

Those are pretty harsh words about Griff because of one post game interview where he didnt say the rite things. I mean dont you think you are blowing things out of proportion just a little bit? When did he say he was entitled to respect? If Manning was 24 playing on a shit team put together by a stubborn shit coach maybe he would have appeared less classy. Just sayin,.....

Shanahan is such a piece of shit. Again it just amazes me this kind of low character guy is still employed in pro football. Is there a franchise desperate enough to welcome Shanahan next year? Guess we'll all find out together lol.

I evaluate the quarterbacks every year, and I do have confidence in John Beck. He was by far my No. 1 guy. I think the world of him.”

Shanahan has won one playoff victory in 14 years. Jesus fucking christ can we move on from this overrated self absorbed know it all? He fucking sucks now, and just cause he got lucky drafting running backs in the 6th and 7th round, everyone thinks he is a genius. If he was such a fucking genius, then why risk losing a stud like TD and ALF by letting 31 teams have them up for grabs for 6 straight rounds? He rode Elway to two superbowls, and after he retired, NOTHING. NOTHING, no postseason success, not even an AFC divisional game. Why the fuck is it so hard to see that this guy fucking sucks?

Very well said. Remember this is the genius who "staked his reputation that Beck would be an excellent starting QB".

Why do people think Shanahan was lying 100% of the time...except when he talked about John Beck?

He needs to grow up in this offseason if he wants to have a future in the league.

I don't hear anyone with inside knowledge saying this. RG needs to concentrate on football and prepare for next season.

.....and his reasoning behind benching Griff.
Edit: what about the whole Dr Andrews clearing him to go back into the game against Baltimore?

It's not one interview. It's been all year. And he has a reputation for being a diva. The Washington post has been throwing out tidbits for a while. He's got a lot of Clinton Portis in him. Do some internet searching. Also, nfl.com reported tonight that rg3 was benched for poor performance, plain and simple. Add to that the reports that shanahan never wanted to trade for rg3 and that was snyders pushing, and the present situation makes a lot of sense. I don't think shanahans a great coach. And by all accounts, he's not the easiest person to interact with. But rg3 isn't some innocent victim here. Anyone who feels confident he's a franchise qb is an idiot. He used to be athletic, but now he's just another qb who the team gives extraordinary slack because of what he cost to get. I think it's more likely He's a bad investment were going to hold on to for too long than the savior of this franchise.

I love humor as much as the next guy, but I'd at least like someone to explain to me the joke that I'm the butt of. :-)

I believe those were comments that the non- diva, classy Peyton Manning made about his teammates to the media that SS posted.....

"I'm not afraid to sit here and say, 'Put that on my shoulders,' " Griffin said, via the Washington Post. "I'll take that. We didn't start fast because of me. If I've got to do a little bit more to clean up that sloppiness, then I'll do it."

But I guess when your not playing well its to be expected that people are going to paint you in a negative light.
Last year when this guy was Superman he said all the rite things, now he is a diva? Lol
