Met Shanahan This Weekend, Talked About Cam And Rgiii

I was at the Greenbriar in (by god) WV this weekend. My wife and I were in the casino getting ready to cash out when i noticed the person in front of me in the line was Mike Shanahan. Of course my wife was ecstatic(redskins fan) but he asked what our names where and I of course let him know I was a panthers fan. He said I should be real happy where the franchise was is headed ( and I am ) and stated that Cam changed the way he viewed quarter backs.

I then asked him if he thought he gave up too much to move up to pick RGII and that I thought he did. He paused and answered, "would you have gave that much up for Cam", i said "knowing what I know now yes but we didn't have to and nobody at the time even knew how well he would transition to the nfl". he replied "I think he handled that really well." he said he thought RGII had a lot of the same skill set as Cam and is excited." I then said " but two firsts and a second round pick?" He said "Well you have to have a franchise quarter back and I'm sure you understand that" (smart ass) He said "they did their home work and he thinks it will work out but if it didn't it would set their franchise back 10 years". I was cordial and shook his hand and wished him luck...

Anyway, just a tid bit of personal first hand information...

    • Their use of the phrase questionable QB situation fits perfectly. He is stuck, for the moment at least, in a situation with Bryce that he can't really get out of. There have been improvements for Young, but he hasn't been a world changer. He had horrible coaching first year and was saddled with a broken down remnant of what had been an afterthought team anyway. There's one year left to keep him on the cheap with the idea that if he cranks out a great season, we've got first dibs on him for the next. If he tanks out, then off to free agency Young goes to either a QB whisperer-type situation or becomes a fairly battle tested back up QB. And we get something to add into our compensatory picks formulation. This is a make or break year for Young, but not for Morgan or Canales. 
    • If they lose the ECF in wimpy fashion, like anything less than a Game 7, its time to can Rod. 
    • Do you people really give no credence to the fact that Carolina’s went almost two weeks between games while Montreal played an intense seven game series that just ended Monday? That break was too much to be ready to go, and it showed.   The Canes pressed in the first, likely from overzealousness to prove the layoff wasn’t too much. once the Canes settled into their game without pressing, the game was much tighter. Every year, posts in the Panthers forum question how little the starters play in the preseason? Why is that? Because we all know not going at game speed against an opponent can lead to a slow start when the games turn real. Even with prior ECF disappointments, I’m going to hope last night was more akin to starters not playing in the preseason.
