As far as the trade that everyone is knocking now don't forget that the cap penalty came afterwards. Gotta think that trade doesn't happen if they knew the cap hit was coming.

So, with this reasoning, Shanahan made the right decision to dismantle a top 10 defense, switch to a 34 with an unproven coach, and the trade for a franchise qb wouldnt have happened if he knew he was going to get docked for sweeping contract money into an uncapped year?

Yeah, this guy made all the correct moves considering, and definitely should be leading our squad....................NOT.
