No. The over-riding theme of this thread is your consistent attempt to deflect legitimate, relevant points by asserting they are unresponsive.

Your original assertion was that (1) the RGIII run R/O offense was the best thing about Shanny's team; (2) Shanny was blaming his failure on RGIII and essentially getting away with it.

DYJ's point, which was obvious to everyone else but you, was that - yes, you are correct. RGIII was successful in Shanny's Read Option offense. In fact, it was the ONLY offense in which RGIII - who you assert is a viable fall back option at the QB position - has been successful. Since that's the case, in order to develop or otherwise keep RGIII a viable option, we should hire the designer of that offense, K. Shanahan and get personnel to fit the design. Or ... we could stay with the current SM plan of big burly guys and a more traditional offense - for which RGIII has never shown an aptitude.

DYJ just forgot to turn on his sarcasm fault.

DYJ even agreed that Shanny needed to go and, oh by the way, is gone. Further, that everyone, Shanahan, RGIII, and Dan were to blame for the fiasco that was 2013. You, however, appear to excuse the RGIII of any fault. Implying instead that he was a good little soldier who would do as told ("He played the RO in 2013; Of course after an injury he was gun shy"). So to be clear, Shanny had plenty to be held accountable for in 2013; we all agree on that. Contrary to your prior assertion, it does not appear anyone on this board is buying his "blame it all on RGIII and DS" routine.

By the way, facts do matter to others, but, apparently, not to you:
- Many on and off the field factors caused the failures of 2013 and their was plenty of blame to go around - including RGIII;
- RGIII has never shown any aptitude for any offense other than MS/KS's read option;
- RGIII has suffered more injuries and missed more games than any other "breakout" QB from 2012 (Luck, Wilson, Kapernick - how many games have they missed? Combined?);
- The only offense RGIII succeeded in is built on a premise completely different from that which SM is attempting to build and one for which he has not shown an aptitude and in which he has shown any growth.

No. He did not topic shift. He addressed specific points you raised, and highlighted flaws in your over arching premise (RGIII a viable fall-back option) by adoption and application of your argument regarding the appropriate blame to leveled at Shanahan.

Again, you either intentionally or unintentionally fail to recognize and acknowledge relevant, responsive points. If the former, well then you are an obtuse troll. If the later, a little consideration for the fact that we may actually be able to grasp your brilliance would be appreciated.
