Comments on: Mike Shanahan: “I’ve never even insinuated a starter” http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/08/08/mike-shanahan-ive-ever-even-insinuated-a-starter/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Mon, 20 May 2013 22:03:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: sknsfn1027 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/08/08/mike-shanahan-ive-ever-even-insinuated-a-starter/#comment-1183250 Mon, 08 Aug 2011 20:50:30 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=146017#comment-1183250 I have been a Redskin Fan since 1971 and I have seen the good & the bad with the Redskins. You so called skin fans need to shut the hell up. You hate on Shanahan but he did not destroy the franchise Vinnie Cerrato did. I took him 12 years to make us the laughing stock of the NFL. Mike cannot fix it in 1 year. The mistake he made was in aquiring Mcnabb but we have had a good off-season except the QB position. As for Beck let’s see what he can do before we crucify him. He did have very similar stats coming out of college that Aaron Rodgers did. Rodgers sat for 4 years and this is Beck’s 4th year. Hail to the Redskins

McNabb sucked last year. If he drafted one there is no way they would have played this year with the lockout and not having the offseason to learn. A bunch of cluless people that dont understand football comment on here. And to the one who says the game passed Shanahan by when he was off years ago… Hey moron he was off one year and went around visiting teams and watching game tape. The media jumped on Shanahan because he “disresprcted” McNabb. Oh well…tough s&&t McNabb sucked last year missing open receivers, throwing balls in the dirt and smile walking off after throwing a pick. But the media has always been afraid to say anything about him.

you guys should go after Culpepper that’s the only option out there for you and he’s a lot better, even at this stage, then any QB on your roster. and at least your security guards would recognize him.

I would probably worry more about Flacco and his ability to gel with his new (and inexperienced) supporting cast. I do like the Ricky Williams pick up, though. Ratbirds runnin game should be pretty damn fierce this year..

If your depending on finding another Manning or Brady your not gonna find it. Play good D, protect Rex and watch the wins rack up

It might be a cliche but it’s true; things are never as good or as bad as they seem. The skins might not put a lot of tallies in the W column next year, but you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the level of play of the guys on the team not named Beck or Rex. Heck, they might be able to actually *gasp* raise the level of play of a mediocre QB.

People have screamed for a plan and for reality based management of this franchise for over a decade; now that it’s actually happening there’s burgundy and gold hoards marching on Ashburn ready to put Shannahan’s head on a stake. SMH

Like good love making, this thing takes time.

@jessieboom

Perfect spot…Deion’s speech was horrible. So dramatic and overdone and to much god reference. Just embarassing really. It’s the same thing when rappers accept their awards at award shows.

at least the QB (whoever it is) will have a strong game with…. Ryan Torain and Keiland Williams?!!

… good luck. with. that.

People that post on this site are so stupid sometimes.. hey man, if you hadn’t noticed, the Redskins traded for Tim Hightower (a good RB if he could stop fumbling the ball) and have some very good prospects in Helu and Royster. People need to learn to check their damn facts before posting on this site.

No

Would a new QB, drafted or brought in, have ample time to learn an entirely new offense in is lockout-shorted off season? No

Is this Rex’s 3rd year in said offense, as well as Beck’s 2nd? Yes

Other than the QB situation, did we address the team positively through the draft? Yes

Free agent/Trade pick ups? Absolutely

Were we the 2011 ‘off season’ champs once again? No

Are we headed in the right direction? You betcha

I, for one, find this approach refreshing…HTTR

Your answer on who the QB should be is the easiest decision anybody in the NFl can make..The guy was leading passer in the Nfl in week 17 with trash as receivers..They now have Hankerson and Gaffney things willbe much better..might even see a 400 yard game or two..Would had one last year if not for the drops..

You just learned a hell of a lesson in trading for McNabb, yet you guys want them to do that again?

Build your team through the draft, pick up free agents that fit your team and build some cohesion in the locker room. The Redskins are slowly doing that…it’s gonna take time, btw the rookie cap has actually made it easier to trade up in the draft to acquire a higher pick, so it doesn’t necessarily matter what their record is. I expect them to be better than last year though. 7 or 8 win team max.

Had? Does that mean he came to a conclusion that they are not starting caliber QBs?

I guess between Elway and Terrell Davis, Shanahan got credit he really didn’t deserve; people just assumed he must be a great coach because of the Supe he won in Denver.
