Report: Grossman Starting on Sunday

[12thMan]

This is so funny on so many levels.

Shanny takes 12 weeks to cut Joey Galloway and then benches his QB for the final three games of the season.

I am with you I want him to be successfully so we don't have to go through all this BS again of starting over and finding a new coach, etc...It is getting old and something needs to work.


If we lose MS either by him quitting or getting fired, we be lucky to get Jim Zorn back, that is how bad folks won't want to come here.

I question this move as much as anybody else. But McNabb was shot, there's no denying it. I dont know what Shanahan thought he was getting, but maybe its like FreddyG said. Maybe the Shanahans thought they could get 1 good year out him while all the other pieces fell into place, but the prob was, the pieces never fell.

now we have a tradeable commodity. 5th rounder better than no rounder.

Our only hope is that some GM called & said,
"we'll take him off your hands in the offseason & get you back at least 1 of your picks, just promise not to play him so he doesn't get hurt!"

the sky is officially falling with threads like this.

Seriously did you really need to make a whole new thread? You couldn't have stated that OP in the on-going McNabb thread?

[firstdown]

I think both sides knew this contract would work for both parties.

[SolidSnake84]

Benching McNabb killed whatever trade value that he had left.

The fact is, 2 coaches in the span of 8-9 months have essentially moved on from him. McNabb would be lucky to fetch a 6th round pick at this point. And at his age, he would be lucky to play 1 more full season without injury. DM5 isnt gonna be another Favre....

[MTK]

There's definitely going to be a market for him. Just listening to NFL radio they were speculating that "several" teams will be interested in trading for him.

[skinsfaninok]

Sounds like Shanny WILL draft a QB this year, He said "maybe the next McNabb or Bradford" LOL Good luck. Id say Jake Locker will be a Redskin

When I worked for the Panthers years ago different teams had different reputations and you always liked working some teams more than others. You had the teams who had their acts together from management down i.e. the Steelers, Patriots, the teams who were average, and the dysfunctional teams (management on down) who garnered little respect across the board such as the Bengals. After years of dysfunction and piss poor management the Skins are one of those dysfunctional teams. We have gone to one of the most respected organizations to one of the greatest laughing stocks in the NFL.

I think this could really backfire on Shanahan if Grossman is his usual self and/or the locker room is really divided. I can see a difficult offseason ahead. Maybe that's what MS is banking on; hit bottom now & prepare everyone for it. I question the timing of the move, hope he's got a plan.
