oh shiz...

"I thought (Grossman) gave us the best chance to win," Shanahan said.

McNabb, who was not injured, is still the Redskins' starter, Shanahan said. But he said Grossman is more comfortable with the team's offense and more capable of running the two-minute offense.

The Redskins had the ball trailing 31-25 with less than two minutes remaining when Grossman replaced McNabb. Grossman stepped back to pass on his first play, was hit and fumbled the ball. Lions lineman Ndamukong Suh picked it up and took it into the end zone to put the game out of reach.

Asked about Shanahan's move, McNabb said: "He makes the decisions. I just continue to go with it and just cheer for my team." He said he believes players and coaches still have confidence in him.

"When you get benched, you get benched," McNabb said. "Just have to learn from it and move on."

"I continue to focus as if I'm the starter," he added. "He said I'm still the starter."

McNabb got sacked 6 times. His receivers are Santana Moss and Joey Galloway, who is 100 years old. I call BS on Shanahan's explanation. Just say you benched him. Rex Grossman is garbage, he probably couldn't lead 2 minute drill better than Jimmy Clausen, let alone Donovan McNabb.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
