Absolutely. Not even up for debate. John Beck isn't an NFL QB, plain and simple. VY is at this stage is a very good backup, with potential to be a starter. He's got a buncha dog ish around him right now (Riley Cooper holds on to that TD pass and VY has 2 tds and 3 ints, instead of 1 and 4). The guy has at least proven he can play in this league.

Absolutely correct!

I am sooooooo happy that the Eagles suck. I hope they fire Reid and descend into R. Kotite-like mediocrity.

So ... if Reid were actually fired ... who here would want to dump the Shanny's and hire Reid? Anyone? Anyone?

12 years in Philly and how many SB's has he won? 000000000000

Stick with Shanahan.

Stick with Shanahan.

No coach has ever won the Super Bowl with two teams so in terms when it comes to who should be coach of the Redskins ironically Reid would be the better choice. However no way at this point would I swap Reid for Shanny. I am very interested though in seeing him go somewhere like San Diego and finally work with a real QB. Not overachievers.

If I were SD I would put in the contract that Reid must have an assistant whose sole job is to control the clock. Come to think of it, Shanny should get one too!

We hear this all the time.

But didn't Gruden do it? Raiders/buccaneers? Who else? Tuna comes to mind but I think he just got them close.

This topic came up on another site and I think Gruden was the most recent but long before him and the so called NFL when both NFC and AFC were seperate entities there were a few coaches who did it also. Obviously not to the SB but to their championship games at the time.

He's talking about winning the SB, not just making it and then flaming out(i.e Holmgren).

But the Raidahs didn't even make it to the Super Bowl with Gruden. The ol' tuck rule did him in. Then Oakland trades Gruden to Tampa. The two teams meet in the Super Bowl. Oakland, at the time, was still using Gruden's playbook. Hence, Gruden knew every play coming his way and used that to beat the Raiders.

*Raises hand sheepishly*

I doubt that is actually the best solution here though. Andy Reid's staff in Philly is doing him no favors. I don't think I want those guys here. I feel like that would be a lateral move to Shanny's staff. The best solution is probably a fresh start with a much younger coaching staff.

Like for example, I don't think Marty Morningweg is a particularly exciting coach-in-waiting offensive coordinator type.

I think Reid would turn it around here, but it would be kind of like Gibbs. If the front office is still based within the coaching staff, we'll be nowhere in 2015.

I love watching how the eagles are falling apart every where on the team...

They should have signed Haynesworth.

For real. Talk about commiting just about every mistake that the Skins have made in the past.

I think Reid takes a year off
