He's not going to derail Shanny after 3 years, even with another 10 loss seasons. Doing so just feeds into what his critics want him to do. The only way Shanny doesn't complete his contract is if he retires first.

Well, I think they (Allen and Snyder, not just Snyder) considered pulling the plug after two years. How could they not have?
Let's be realistic: this is it coming up. It's over without significant improvement and/or playoffs. And good riddance to the losing.
Because of this, I foresee an aggressive offseason that could get Grossman replaced. But assuming he will be back on the roster, it's going to be tough to find someone more qualified to start in Week 1. That's pretty much Luck or Griffin, or a huge money contract to a guy like Matt Flynn, or a blockbuster trade (a first rounder plus) for like Josh Freeman or something. It's a short list.
If the acquisition is Ryan Tannehill or Landry Jones, then Rex Grossman will need to win games in the short term for the era to continue.
