Mcnabb appears to be done and he is the reason for this loss

[NYCSkin]

If Shanahan wanted to send DM a message there are much much better ways to do it than the way he did. Aside from the fact that he chose to make this "message" during a very winnable game--which is ridiculous--he made a very shortsighted strategic decision vis-a-vis his credibility with the team.
DM is not a rookie or journeyman. Treat him with some respect. And if you diss him--don't then say something even more horseshit like Grossmann gave us a better chance to win in the last two minutes and he can get two plays in at the same time blah blah blah. It's an inconsistent message, it is not concise in its reasoning, and it does nothing to instill confidence.

As a CEO type coach--Shanahan has to project this confidence and be consistent in a concise manner. The three C's of a CEO. All he did yesterday--based on his own reasoning after the game--was diminish his leadership cred tremendously. That is the most damaging thing about the loss yesterday...
