McNabb's agents take aim at the Shanahans, Mike responds...

And the Haynesworth saga. Shanny really looks pretty bad right now. He needs a few years to see if he can work his thing, but this year was embarrassing.

Obviously, you are a Mike Shannahan fan. I would applaud any coach that displaces his starter because he does not feel the starter is getting the job done.

This is a game of making moves with your roster to better the team, not a game of being politically correct. If Donovan leaves at the end of this season, he will make roughly $3 Million big bucks. Please, bench me and let me move on.

Try reading a few of my posts. Thus far I'm on the fence with Shanahan, but never did I say McNabb didn't deserve to be benched. My issue is and has been all along the way Shanahan has explained his benchings, and how much we gave up to get McNabb.

And McNabb is a crybaby for letting his agent make that statement.

He's the Head Coach and can say and do what he sees fit. If you are on the fence, its because you are not looking at the overall picture regarding being competitive in this division. Most of the teams in the NFL are hard-nosed and coached accordingly. A player, I don't care who he is, does not make decisions regarding his play on the field, and is subjected to the decision making of the head coach who does have the say so to change things up if the head coach has an idea of what is needed to make his offense work.

An example of staying too long with a QB who was not that good was Jason Campbell. Every coach since Gibbs gave him a free ride.
