An example would be me getting fired from my current company, and then rehired from another, and in the first year I disagree with how they run the company, and stop listening to my direct boss.... I would be fired immediately. Kudos to the way MS handles cry baby players, and kudos to Kyle for demanding DM benching.

Well, the knee jerk reaction of benching him in the Detroit game, and then the totally pathetic "reasoning" Shanahan came up with- he wasn't in "cardiovascular shape" to run the 2 minute drill, Rex knows it better, etc etc. That was a huge blunder IMO.

Yes agreed. That was the start of the dumb sh*t. If Shanny and FO feel like McNabb is not a good fit the best moves would have been:

A) Shouldnt bench McNabb in the final drive and come up with lame ass excuse

B) Should have let McNabb finish out the season as the starting QB

Look we all know McNabb isnt back next season and we all know what we got with Rex. Rex didnt need to get evaluated, thats horse sh*t.

We should have let McNabb finish out in both above situations and in the offseason quietly put him on the block to other team for a 4th or 3rd round pick. McNabb can still play and teams ALWAYS are looking for a QB....San Fran, Seattle, Minnesota for sure........Possible QB upgrades: Tennessee, Raiders, Buffalo, Carolina...

We might have to cut him now the way Shanny waved a huge red flag saying he's not gonna be here next year. Not smart at all

When did he say that? Last I heard MS didn't close the door on him returning.

Sure I dont think he will come out and publically say McNabb will not be here next season...but the Kelly Johnson inteview b4 the previous game Shanny when asked if it was a mistake to bring McNabb here he said something in the way of "sometimes things dont work out like you plan them." I dont take that as a vote of confidence for McNabb returning. He didnt say No its wasnt a mistake or he plans on McNabb contributing to this team in the future. I think the contract we gave him is another indicator. I feel he's chancing of returning to the Skins is in the 10-20%. I think serious damage has been done with Shanny's choices he has made in McNabb returning. McNabb is personally going to say the right things, he always has. I think his agent though is speaking exactly how McNabb feels.

I think McNabb can still play in this league, on a high level? questionable...with Shanny and Kyle as his coaches?...very unlikely

I think what Shanahan said is he "can't guarantee that McNabb will be back next year." But let's be honest, at this point hell will freeze over before McNabb takes another snap for us.
