And what message is that? I think most pro players know starting QBs ARE above the rest of the team. You think Tom Brady with his super model wife, endorsements and pretty hair is just one of the guys to other players? Probably not, but the question is whether the other players respect him when it comes to football. They do. And our team respects Rob.

Re: Mike Shanahan was Ready to Leave Washington after 2012 Season

Most of the roster will be turned over within two years, so it doesn't really matter one way or the other.

If Griffin gets worse about alienating his teammates, then there's a problem. But he's 23 and getting used to fame, and I'm not worried about it.

your gonna see alot of turnover after this season, but you could see that plan coming 2 years ago. There are lots of personel decisions to be made on others as well. Not a bad thing. Cap hit blessing in disguise, this situation coulda been alot worse.

Skins in a great position contract wise in a ton of areas.

They'll be in an even better position after 2014. I think they'll slowplay it next offseason. Turn over a lot of the pieces they know won't contribute long term, but give the Garcon's, Hankerson's, Morris', Helu's, and DY's a chance to earn it in a new system. Would be shocked if all the FA spending next year wasn't on defense and the OL.

Grab a receiver with the second round pick, see if Jordan Reed can stay healthy a whole year, and roll with it.

How do you know? You have no idea what the players think of him. I'm sure if you asked Moss, Garcon or some of his O-linemen they'd probably have a different opinion from yours.

What Garcon say a few weeks ago?? "our passing game sucks!" ..who do you think he was talking about? That's pretty much a shot at your QB.

Understand, but Bob is not Tom Brady. Not even close. Also, do you know all the players respect Bob, or are you assuming again?

Are you assuming they don't?

Look at the situation. Read what gets reported and evaluate it. When crap comes out about Bob what happens? The players around him bolt to defend. You hear anyone bolt to defend Shanny yet? Given everything that is out there right now it is looking more and more like MS has been systematically positioning himself to not take blame. That has included trying to divvy out accountability in every direction but those that reflect badly on him. Nothing towards KS (who I imagine is dying to get out of all of this), nothing towards any of his crony coaches, nothing towards Burns (his hire). Everything towards those that make him feel insecure.

Yes i am :-) we are all playing the assumption game. What I do know is there is a problem with this organization, and one person has been is the drivers seat.
