It just doesn't seem to me like playing or sitting RG3 does much for Shanny's image either way, unless he starts calling RG3's number on 12 fullback dives in a row (or a dozen seven-step-drops in a row with our OL) What obvious things am I missing here?

To think that there's not something else at play here, I guess you're assuming Shanahan is genuine when he says he has the team or Griffin's best interests in mind.

Given the recent "leaked" stories from a guy clearly in CYA mode, personally I don't trust a single word he says anymore.
