Chris Cooley believes Mike Shanahan is ready to cut ties with RG3

If shannahan didn't want RG3 why pick RG3. That is just stupid. The redskins are not sucessful because the entire team and all the schemes suck.

There's probably some truth to this. However, I don't think they're ready to move on from him. I doubt that. It's not going to matter anyway cause they're probably going to be fired.

I think we all said the same thing last year, no? why give up the farm for RG3 then two rounds later draft another QB? Unless RG3 was not the guy MS wanted and he was buying insurance with Cousins?

What's the chance Snyder had something to do with RG3 getting picked? Also RG3 was the second best QB according to all the draft boards and media. So the team picks RG3 cause he's the second best QB but they draft a guy, Cousins, whom they think fits better in their system?

Which brings me back to the OL which sucks.

He happens to also have a cannon for an arm. If he can get his mechanics rite it would be a lethal arm too.

I guess it's nice to have a canon for an arm if your firing for effect. That canon does the team no good if the ball does not get to the WR or the WR does not get to the ball. Most of his long balls this year have been over throws. It's not like he's threading a needle with his long ball, and you don't need a canon of an arm for 5 to 15 yrd passes.

Whats really funny is I go check out several news sites and they all were suggesting RG3 be benched a week ago or more and when MS does it the fans here blow up. LOL. Clearly nothing will make us fans happy.

Its the timing of it all. Suddenly now he is protecting Griff? Come on man....

A player put the team on his back, got you the NFC East Championship and he is not the right pick. Total BS.

And played with a sprained MCL while doing so in the last three games...

What a terrible QB must be....

Well like someone said earlier...

As long as we see a pitch to Josh Morgan that turns in to a pass to Cousins downfield

Thsibsi all about power, has nothing to do with football. If you didn't want RG3 then do''t draft RG3 real simple. If you are in charge of personel which is Shannahan's title then you don't draft RG3, if you didn't want RG3. It's about power. Shanny coaching sucks, defense sucks special teams suck. None of that has to do with RG3.

I just think there is a lot WE fans don't know. Everyone her acts and assumes MS sat back and said "I want RG3." Then wrote on the draft slip RG3, then walked it all the way up to the podium for the announcement, "RG3." and now after 2 years has decided RG3 is not our guy and lets throw RG3 under the bus for good measure.

Is there a possibility RG3 was Snyder's guy? Any chance Snyder stepped up yet again and said I want him on this team? Remember RG3 was garnering more press then Luck. I guess what I'm trying to say is this would not be the first time Snyder stepped in and meddled with the team. WE all Know that. I'm not saying thats what happened but why go out and draft another QB so high if RG3 is your guy?

Your right this team does suck. Defense especially. If that side of the ball could just hold teams to under 25 points we would have won a lot of games this year. It didn't happen. As far as coaching I'm not going to argue with you too much, this team sucked the first two years and most HC's have a plan, you either draft your QB and build around him or you build a team and then draft the QB. Ms looked to be doing the latter, but the OL has not gotten better in 4 yrs, only 1 upgrade a WR, and the defense has been digressing all 4 yrs. But ...as my best excuse to defend Shanny, you don't go out and buy a Nascar car and drive it through the city. Their not made for stop signs and stop lights and stop and go traffic. So you re route yourself so your car can hit the open road, more straight aways, less traffic lights. I think this is what MS did. He changed his system to fit RG3. Maybe butchered his system all together for RG3. and now that RG3 can't run as fast as he did last yr because of the brace then all those designed run plays won't fool defenses anymore so you have to change the scheme up again. I just think MS has done the best he could with what he had, QB wise. The building of the OL and other spots I blame him big time. Piss poor job.
