There is no way Mike Shanahan starts a QB he thinks is gonna fail.

And if Kyle screws it up this year I would bet dollars to donuts Mike S. will be more hands on.

Chan Gailey did it with Ryan effing Fitzpatrick, Josh McDaniels did it w/ Kyle Orton.

I believe his rep as a QB guru is on the line.

He will not fail, again.

Not sure why you call Shanahan a QB developer. None of the QBs that him or Kyle have developed have become anything overly special. I mean take away Elway, and Shanny hasn't won a damn thing with his development projects. I mean this is really borderline pathetic in how we are looking at our "savior" in terms of reality to what he actually has done with Qbs. Mike Shanahan is a decent coach, and I do think he can get us to be a contender, but he is no genius at developing QBs. Orton is a good QB, but not sure he would lead us to a SB, much less John Beck. Same thing with Cutler, above average, but nothing like a Manning or Brady.
