Lost Some Faith In Shanahan

[12thMan]

You know what, yes, the whining is out of control. You know what else, it's completely fukcing justified. This isn't Rex Grossman or another Joe who got hurt. This is possibly the greatest talent we've seen at QB in our lifetime. I don't think that's an over-exaggeration one bit.

Those of you who are telling the rest of us to cool it, chill, or whatever -- seem to be missing the point (or maybe you're not). This could have been avoided. That's what has everyone pissy. It's not the nature of the injury or even the fact that it happened. We all know this is the NFL. Shit happens. Superstars get hurt every week. You move on. It's the gross negligence and carelessness that has the fan base up in arms. I'll bet this shit will go on for a good little while too.

Being pissed off doesn't fix anything.

It is obviously not that obvious given a lot of these posts.

But it could not have been avoided. With RG's style of play it was just a matter of time. He should have slid legs first (against Baltimore) and he never would have got hurt in the first place. But he did, the kids got an ego and thinks he's Superman when everyone kept telling him he needs to protect himself. I put just as much blame on RG3 as I do Mike Shanahan for keeping him in there when he was obviously injured.

This most certainly could have been avoided. I'm talking about the Baltimore game, all the ensuing games, snaps it was clear he wasn't close to 100%. Not even 70%. Should have been pulled after that second TD. Maybe he shouldn't have played at all.

The Baltimore hit is what it is. Clean play, clean hit. That happens. No one's upset about that.
