Report: Shanahan to DC done deal

Adam Schefter makes a good point about the overused line of Shanahan not winning without Elway...the Broncos had Elway before Shanny and they were not able to win the SB (even with Dan Reeves as the coach...although right before Shanahan took over, Wade Phillips was the HC).

Maybe coaches like Shanahan and Gruden may have won their Superbowl with another coach's players. But, as our team has shown time after time, not only do you need good players, but you need someone to coach them.

Schefter also makes a good point about the Broncos 2006 draft:
Rd 1: Cutler
Rd 2: Schefler
Rd 4: Brandon Marshall
Rd 4: Elvis Dumervil
Rd 5: Chris Kuper (OG)
Rd 6: Greg Eslinger (C)

Out of all these picks, all but Eslinger are starters in the league.

Now Shanahan to DC is just rumors right now, but I just don't see how much people like to crap on the possibility of having him as a coach.

I guess you could say the same about vinny in drafting except for OL:

Orakpo
Fred Davis
Devin Thomas
Chris Horton
Jeremy Jarmon
Marko Mitchell
Justin Tryon

Some of these are young players coming into their own.

Chris Mortenson responded to my question on Twitter. Here is the response.

draftreports
@mortreport Mort you say Shanny done deal with #Redskins and Schefter says no deal. Which is it?

mortreport
@draftreports I said book it on Shanahan with Redskins. He can't have a deal "done" until after season.

Yes you could say that too, still Schefter's point is that teams have hits and misses in the draft, and a lot of people here just generalized that Shanahan doesn't know how to draft...and well 3 years later that 2006 draft seems pretty successful and well rounded (well hard to say that Cutler is a success, but I think he could have been a success if he had stayed in Denver).

That is one ridiculously good draft. I didn't realize that Marshall and Dumervil were both 4th rounders in the same draft.

It's amazing how the first thing the anti-Shanahan crowd thinks of is that he only won one playoff game without John Elway.

Nevermind those two Lombardi trophies -- they mean nothing.

i agree, plus his overall record in denver is pretty darn good.

Was Shanahan in Denver when Portis was there? It will be interesting in the decision to keep Portis or not.

Who do you think traded him to us?

[LandrySlice]

I just heard in Korea that Greg Novis is officialy out of the race for head coach, but he will be in charge of yelling at bartenders at the Hardtimes in Springfield every Sunday during Skins games!

Adam Schefter said it is not a done deal. Way i see it

Chris Mortenson and NFL VERSUS Adam Schefter.

This is ginna be damn good!

If Shanny is hired, that most certainly ends Portis's time in Washington right?

He'll trade him back for Champ Bailey.
