Lost Some Faith In Shanahan

[NC_Skins]

Why isn't anybody blaming the medical staff as well here? (besides me apparently) They ultimately have the say so on whether or not a player plays. The fact that Shanahan said the doctors didn't examine him after that roll out play is disturbing.

There's plenty of blame to go around. Coaches, doctors, RG3 himself.

People want this to be black & white and it's clearly not.

And frankly the witch hunt/blame game doesn't solve anything.

Amen! I don't know what is accomplished by the need to crucify anybody. It doesn't heal Griffin's knee any faster. Things could be much worse.

Bingo.

I'll be curious to see how many people in this forum got on Cutler's case when he was taken out of a game last year b/c he was hurt. I can't remember exactly, but I think it may have been a playoffs game or something late in the season.

Yeah forgot about that one, Cutler got ripped a new one for not toughing out his knee injury.

It was the NFC CHAMPIONSHIP.

Can anyone here picture RG riding a bike on the sidelines in any game, let alone the NFC Championship??

By the same token, how many people would be slamming Shanahan if he had benched Griffin, and Cousins had lost us the game. RGIII would be whining about being benched, saying he wanted to stay in the game to win it for the team, but he had to do what coach said. Then Shanahan's getting slammed for creating a quarterback controversy.

Yep.

For Gaea's sake, people, this isn't black and white. From everything that's come to light, it's apparent Robert shares some blame, however small, in all of this, too. Blame his warrior spirit, as I am doing because he is FEARLESS, but he does have fault here.

That's what you do as a leader, take the heat for making the right call.

Sometimes leaders make wrong decisions, and they take heat for that too.

Bingo.

Which he has all but said it was.

The man said he went with his gut. If I have to bet on a football decision, I'll take MS's gut call over The Butt Head's non-DVR watching 20/20 hindsight and friends of friend's BS 8 days a week.

Shanahan made a bad call in this case. He knows it and stood up there and got grilled on it. He will do the same at the next press conference.
