What's your take on our coaching?

[GusFrerotte]

After we draft a Kellen Moore, etc we need to get greedy with drafting the best O linemen available the next 2-3 picks. Just boost the O line in one fell swoop. 2013 get the LBs and CBs.

[GusFrerotte]

Snyder might want to win, but he covers his ass with the constant changing of every 2-3 years if he doesn't win. That keeps the sheep in line, keeping that famed multi year waiting list for season tickets intact. Everyone is so stoked that the new regime will be the one to lead us to old glories past that even if the season is a disappointment, they stay tuned in to the farce that has become Redskins football.

i have been totally unimpressed with the way Mike Shanahan handles himself.

Bill Bellicheat? Bill Parcells? You impressed with the way they handle themselves?

[SirClintonPortis]

What irritates me the most is that people try to extrapolate mental states when players physically manhandled. In football, you very well could be giving maximum effort and still get your ass kicked. Inability is NOT Unwillingness!!!!

[GusFrerotte]

My whole thing is not to have Shanny fired after this season, but damn, come on fellas, this ship is taking on water. You have to remember that the vets on this team have been losing for their entire time on this team. The team is like a rudderless ship as of now. Yeah we are not stacked with talent, but this is still an NFL cailbre team or you would think it would be. This is looking too much like Zorny time now. I say we compete with the "Suck for Luck" teams if we must. Shanny actually bet on Beck becoming a starting QB after being a journeyman QB. He must have lost his eye for talent, if he ever had one to begin with.

Shanahan can publicly say what he wants. He didn't believe in April and he doesn't believe now that Beck is the long term answer. That QB isn't on our roster.

Then why the hell did he get him? Shoot why didn't we draft Ponder or Dalton. That non move will ensure us at least 2 more crappy football seasons, and then the overhaul that will be due in year 4 of Shanny's reign isn't guaranteed either. I am not expecting playoffs Smooty, but I would like to actually enjoy watching the Skins win or lose. This isn't even a fun past time anymore. I mean seriously, I can go down the road on I-94 and see a good MAC football game for one tenth the cost of a NFL game, with free parking!!!!!!!!

My guess is as crazy as it sounds, that he has had his eye on a college QB coming out in next years draft that he really wants, as is patiently waiting.

It doesn't sound crazy at all. In fact, it sounds like a lock.

This is a self-fulfilling prophesy. At the end of the 2011 NFL season, it will be clear to everyone - - fans, analysts, writers, sportsradio dudes and the Skins' coaching staff - - that Rex Grossman and/or John Beck are not "Franchise QBs"

At that point, the Skins will either :

Draft the guy they will say is the QB of the future

Sign a free agent who is a starting caliber QB in the NFL and declare him the future QB

Sign a free agent AND draft a QB of the future.

And at that point the idea that Mike Shanahan had his eye on whomever the Skins draft or sign all along will be "proven" correct.

Then what the hell is he doing??? Instead of drafting 15 Wr, shouldn't he then put some stock into some rookie qb.... Maybe even Mallet.
Yeah Mallet isn't " his style" qb but either is Rex..... And Beck ... Well I'm having a hard time that he's a qb period.

Apparently my Cooley prescription did not take the first time...try another dose...
AND Damn....SS stole my Shanny line!
I'll let Cooley say it for me:
"I've listened to everyone call in, and I've listened to everyone talk about our staff, and this is what I like about it," Cooley said Monday on the LaVar and Dukes show. "Our fan base hates our owner, ok, because he can't ever keep a coach, he'll never keep players, he'll never keep guys around, he changes it, it's like a fantasy football team to him. But then everyone calls in and says we gotta get rid of Kyle Shanahan, we gotta get rid of Mike Shanahan, we gotta get rid of these players, we gotta trade Chris Cooley.

"So you criticize Dan Snyder for trading coaches and players every year and trying to do things every year, and then you call and say this is what we’ve got to do? I hate it. What we've got to do is keep consistency over a period of time, and continue to try to build, trust me, under Mike Shanahan, who knows football and knows players."
Longtimefan Posted the great Cooley Stuff.......

He didn't get his QB because he hasn't been available. This past draft we would have taken Locker. I'm convinced of that. Have talked to too many people who should know who say that was the plan. But the Titans took him. And Shanahan decided his second choice (apparently Gabbert) wasn't worth as much as trading down and adding more pieces.

I'd like to see us do some trading and offer a few draft picks to the Titans and try to get Locker. It would be easier to do than getting Luck. I think they could make that happen. I like Locker big time. He is a player and I wanted him bad for my beloved Hogs. I would like to see the Skins do some dealing to get him. He would be perfect for us.
