WR Marshall Benched by McDaniels

[sportscurmudgeon]

I'm not sold on Josh McDaniels as the "next genius" in NFL coaching ranks just yet. But in his rookie year and in a "win-and-you're-in" game for the playoffs, he took a stand and benched his best player as a disciplinary measure.


It didn't work, but you have to admit it took a huge pair of onions to do that.


Marshall is hugely talented and very young. Marshall is also a "diva extraordinaire". I don't know that the Skins are a good enough team with sufficient peer leadership to take on something like that right about now. 20 years ago as the skins were in the middle of their 4 Super Bowl appearances and with a core of solid disciplined veterans, Marshall would be a great addition. Today...???
