It's complete bs. Im sure father and son have gone over strategy on what to say, how to say it and how to end the season.

Kyle Shanahan disappointed with Griffin shutdown, says he had ‘zero involvement’

Snyder, RG3 made mistakes, but this Redskins disaster is all Shanahan(s)

It seems to me that every media outlet is trying to get in as many stories as they can. It's overkill at this point. IMO RG3 got benched because of poor performance. Many QB's that have accomplished a hell of a lot more than RG3 have been benched... that includes McNabb while he was in Philadelphia, Kurt Warner, Warren Moon was benched even Drew Brees...benched and let go! These are very good to great QB's. It's not that big a deal people. Maybe this will be good for him.

Mike Jones ‏@MikeJonesWaPo 12m Interesting from Sean King: 1st 2 yrs: PManning 50TD/42INT (14-15 record). EManning 30/26 (12-11). Breese 28/31 (10-17). RGIII 36/17 (13-16)

None of those other guys were benched in yr 2.

Cause they played better in their 2nd years. If RG3 was not throwing the ball 10 feet over the wr's heads, only looking at one wr and running into sacks he's be on the field. Even the KC defenders were saying they would just run to the side where he turned his head cause they knew he wouldn't look anywhere else. Everyone that's upset about him sitting down fail to mention any of this stuff.

Yeah and none of them were coming off ACL surgeries either. And they all probably didn't have defenses and special teams this bad either. But yeah, let's bench just the QB. Makes total sense.

Probably didn't have a field as bad as ours either. But yeah, let's let him keep playing so he can re-injure the knee with 3 meaningless games left to play.

If the field was really an issue they wouldn't have played him last week.

2 of the next 3 games are away anyway.

In the end, that's part of being an NFL QB. When things are good, you're God and get more credit than you should. When it's bad you get dumped on. At some point you're going to get benched and booed, it's just part of the job. If a QB isn't mentally tough enough to deal with it they're not going to last. Either RG3 comes back next year swinging, and learns how to be a QB, or he could go down as Heath Shuler.

Griffins numbers are better than people think

Billick isn't an entirely impartial observer I don't think.

Well I guess Mike Shanahan and I are the only two people in the world who have gotten upset at a fellow co-worker or boss and thought of leaving our jobs. Especially when it seems like the boss is picking favorites. In my line of work we have a name for it... their called the "Golden Child". They can do no wrong, never mess up, make mistakes and not get punished for them, etc. etc.

It is okay to get upset at your boss.

It is not ok to suck at your job and act as if it is other people's fault.
