While I'm probably sure McNabb is displeased with the benching itself, he is at least giving the appearance that it was the way he was demoted and benched that is the main issue. IF what he claims is true, then it's unprofessional and not exactly best for the team because they should have been totally practicing with Grossman on the first practice day of the week and the head coach should have communicated to him first. IF McNabb is just making shit up, then Shanahan probably handled the situation properly and wasn't unprofessional, disrespectful, etc, and McNabb was just trying to get attention. The benching is not the object of complaint by McNabb, but rather how it was handled. If it was Zorn not informing his QB late in the week, we'd all be skewering his incompetence.

Merry Christmas, Sir Clinton Portis, and I hope you and your family received Xmas blessings.

I agree that this has been a PR nightmare, but it's done and just possibly this is how Shannahan handles these issues that displease him.

But, he is the HC and I have to give him the benefit of the doubt. Donovan has been mostly inconsistent in his 13 games and should be benched.

The issue of respect or disrespect, in my opinion, was first mentioned by some of the staff at NFL Network, former players. I just think that these people are wrong by suggesting that Shannahan wanted to single McNabb out by not showing concern for his "feelings".

Why is it that other QBs can be benched and its not considered disrespect? What is their agenda?
