I think Shanahan has done fairly well so far with the exception of benching McNabb last game. Yes, he did hand pick the current starters on the offense after purging a decent chunk of last years roster; however, there was only limited options for him to upgrade with. The lack of draft picks and FA available made this year more of a "do what we can to hold over till next year". Trading for McNabb and Brown were quality moves imo because it gave him a leader he could trust (or was the thinking when he traded for McNabb) and a former pro-bowler to protect him who was seen at the time as a definite upgrade over Heyer.

The WR situation has left something to desire (would love to see Williams and Galloway released in favor of Austin and anyone else, including the new PS addition - Taurus) but I believe that will be addressed in next years draft.
