Re: Should Mike Shanahan be fired?

Unfortunately no because Shanahan had to play with fire and get a huge cap hit. That's why next season will be no different than this year. AKA. Can his ass now. Get someone in here to put their scheme together, and go from there.

A big help for the 3-4 would stop bringing in 4-3 players to play a position they have no business in. Oh how much common sense would fix a fair amount of our problems. That's too easy for Shanahan though because he has to let his pride get in the way.

Wait.. So you're saying it's Shanahan's fault we took a big cap hit, and that we should bring someone else in because he should of known better?

What players were brought in that can't handle the 3-4 at the moment? I'm just wondering if you actually believe what you are saying or even know what you are saying or maybe you're just shooting fireballs out of your ass.

You shouldn't listen to all the hear say and believe it. Shanahan needs to improve to stay here, but he's doing no worse if not better then what the Redskins are use to in the past 2 decades. Is that to say it's acceptable? No, it isn't but the players are young and I think it's to early to say.. Well, they are not going to mesh or do well.

This is what a revamped roster in two years of off season building looks like. I just think it's unfair to throw stones at a guy who came in on day one and said it would take 5 years to turn things around. He's in 2.5 at the moment..

Of course this is Washington and the Colts are 6-3, so we should be too. Right?

Don't blame Shanny for Vinny's mess. He was only cleaning up his garbage. Had he not done what he did, our cap would have been ****ed.


Also, I thought you were done with the Redskins?

Just sold my tickets and parking to #Eagles fans. Hope they piss off the entire section while the Redskins get murdered.

@NC_Skins23 I'm not anymore. Making the most of my money back and burning my box of Redskins "memorabilia."

You do see the logical flaw in arguing that Shanahan/Allen acted in 2010 the way they did because they had no choice, and then not holding them accountable for the cap penalty, right?

Even if you believe that the NFL jumped its authority with the cap penalty, as I do, you still can't put it on anyone but the current regime. This could/would have been a past issue in 2010 if left to organic means.

Vinny's influence on the 2011 Redskins was less than 1/2 a percent. At this point, he's a completely negligible character in the teams current situation.
