Oh well I guess that's his job now. As a beat writer his job was mainly just to relay facts and rumors. As a columnist however he's probably expected to put a little more emotion into his pieces.

Reid always has favored the "poor" starting QB being "done in" by the "bad guys".

The deal with ego wars is that it is not readily apparent if only one guy is completely in the wrong or if both have some share of the blame. However, it's quite clear that he's playing to the "poor McNabb" crowd and "wtf Shanahan is doing" sentiment.

What undid Shanahan in Denver was probably a shitty D and a lack of willingness to fire Slowik as a response to that. Cutler led a monster attack in 2008 that flamed out due to having to utilize scrub RBs like Tatum Bell.
