Bench RG3: it's "why didn't he bench him before?").

OK, you're right about being eliminated after the Giants game. Still, why all the fuss now if benching RG3 is what people wanted? I wanted to start Cousins on game one, I got over it. Worst I'd say now is "about time", but RG3 really hasn't played that bad. He's not running like his best, but the missed reads and throws look more like rust than injuries to me. (OK, game one I thought the bad throws were him not able to plant his right leg back before throwing but not now)

Im not even sure who the hell is mad about what anymore. Lol. Im going to just state my case as simply as i can.
There have been a handful of times in Griffs short career where I personally screamed "oh my God take him out of the game".
Seattle - one friggin leg working and obviously hurt bad!
Baltimore - they did but after he went back in
Weeks one through about six.
Shanny has maintained all year that Griff needed time to learn and play and grow. Makes sense he seems healthy enough to be on the field, just not mentally or mechanically whole yet. Than when this whole bizarre love triangle between Griff, MS, and DS started ( which mind you seems to have been leaked by MS to someone at ESPN- because MS was dangerously close to being ousted as our coach) - Griff is deactivated. Than almost a full year later MS admits that Griff should have been pulled from the Seattle game. NO SHIT. Why does he say that? So that he wouldnt be questioned about the fact that he is suddenly concerned about Griffs safety. Again - this is not a question of SHOULD Griff be benched, but WHY he us being benched. Why now? Why not after the Giants game? MS thought we were still in playoff contention? No - he was still trying to save his job. After last week he knew it was over and this became about the 7 million dollars.
Even if KC lights it up it still falls on Shanny for not pulling him all those other times when he was injured/not ready.
Edit : this is not a conspiracy theory, lol. There are too many things that dont add up. Too much timing that makes no sense.
