Mike Shanahan, faced with biggest decisions, failed Redskins, Robert Griffin III - The Washington Post

A lot of people feel Mike Shanahan sacrificed the franchise by allowing RG3 to continue to play. But what folks don't realize is if he had pulled Griffin, the player mainly responsible for getting the Redskins as far as they got, then that decision would have alienated Griffin from Shanahan and Shanahan would have lost Griffin's trust with the risk of losing the entire locker room. I think Mike Shanahan will only repeat a decision like this one during a playoff game only when the season is on the line and allow RG3 to keep playing.
