Next years QB

[Evilgrin]

He said we are "going into the season with him as No. 1". That isn't the same thing as saying the job is his, and he can't lose it. If you think about it a bit, its not really that strong of a position.

Not sure if anyone heard Mike Shanahan today on 980. He pretty much confirmed what we've all heard about Griffin.

Did you think he was gonna say "my bad"?

Shanahan say that? No way. However, he confirmed that Griffin demanded that they stop running certain plays..aka read option. He also said he wanted to be a drop back passer and he wasn't happy different plays were called for KC. Shanahan basically said you're not good enough to run that type of offense right now. lol.

He also did say that he still believes that KC is going to be a very good starting QB in the NFL. He came off as someone that was 100% telling the truth. Real good interview.

Maybe Gruden is upset that it got out that KC went to his brother.

Eh, I think it's just a move at this point to shield off and quiet down all the hoopla surrounding rg and our qb situation... I don't think it hold too much water

Shanny sure loves to point the finger. Has he ever taken any blame at all for his time here??

Where did rumors like "Haslett isn't to blame for past seasons because Shanahan kept overruling him", come from?

The culture in Redskins Park seems to have been toxic ever since Snyder bought the team. Firing Casserly and then later Schottenheimer for Cerrato early on. Reports that Gibbs did a great job "managing" Snyder when he came back. I don't blame Shanny one bit for throwing some mud back at the Redskins franchise.

He wasn't pointing the finger at anyone. He was just giving more insight about what happened between he, Griffin and the organization. He came off as very truthful.

How does saying shanahan was awful while he was here and that he was part of the problem "defend" griffin?

Pretty clear he's pointing the finger in a big way at Snyder

Pretty terrible if this is true. Snyder is such a f$cking piece of shit.

People say it's the curse of the name which is epic bullshit. The curse of this franchise is Dan Snyder

I think the headline there is off. He wasn't laying blame IMO. Obviously Griffin wanted to be a drop back passer. Obviously the owner wanted the same. The main problem was/is he's just not good enough to do it. You think MS was wrong in stating that? He knew Grffin couldn't do it and that's been confirmed with his play. That's why Griffin had one offense and KC had another. The truth hurts for Griffin and the pro Griffin crowd.

I've always said this about Griffin. He's a track athlete playing football. He just doesn't have QB instincts. You either have that or you don't. They can coach him up all they want, but he'll never be great at the drop back game.

I think he said it would take five years.
