Benching McNabb

[da ThRONe]

Its Rex Grossman for crying out loud. This proves that Shannahan isnt interested in McNabb for the future. The whole "We want to see what so and so can do" is BS. If Mc5 was your guy you would be giving him as many reps in practice and game snap as possible for next year. Carson Palmer has been just as bad as McNabb if not worse this season with way better offensive weapons and Marvin Lewis isnt pulling him.

The Redskins may be the worse offense in the league right now. I dont see any QB being productive especially with one season in the system. I hope for Donovan sake he is released.

Huh? Going to the Vikings now guarantees Pro Bowl status for a quarterback? When did that happen? Favre's year last year was a complete fluke. And even so, Favre's skills last year > McNabb's skills next year.

This be true. He had a healthy WR core, Adrian Peterson, and a very good defense. This year everything fell apart. Also, Rice is a FA at the end of this year I believe? The QB that goes in there will not put up Pro Bowl numbers next year (If there is one).

It's the way Shanahan has mishandled the situation that's being scrutinized and rightfully so, and Shanahan and the organization deserves every bit of heat they're getting for it. I'm in favor of benching a player, but there is a right way to address it and a wrong way and Shanahan chose the wrong way. He simply has not handled this right at any point on any level, he's been totally unprofessional, and again he's lost that team because of it. They were with him on the Haynesworth situation, but not with this.

I agree, I haven't followed this that closely so I'm not sure how badly Shanahan has handled this, I'll just say that the game may have passed Shanahan by but look at this team, it sucks and that includes McNabb. Yes, Grossman sucks too, but they have another QB on the team. Might as well see what he can do.

I just don't understand why the Redskins got McNabb. They are not a very good team that needs to start over. McNabb doesn't really fit the team at all. If McNabb is going to be successful at this stage in his career he needs to go to a legitimately good team and even then who knows. The Redskins are obviously a horribly run organization.

McNabb has been repeatedly used as a punching bag all his career by Philly fans, players, T.O. and now the Shanahans and he still never fires back. It's amazing how much this guy handles stuff with class. He deserves better.

Class or the fact he really simply doesn't care... I keep hearing about how "classy" McNabb is but all I see when I look at him is a player collecting a paycheck who really doesn't care what anyone thinks.
