Thank you, I was about to say something similar. Some on this thread are applauding Shanahan for being better GM than Vinny and Snyder, which isn't saying much, I could be a better GM than Snyderatto.

I have the opposite opinion. the handling of McNabb and Haynesworth, in terms of maximizing their trade value is horrendous.
The consistently good teams handle it much better. Look at Philly. Last season and the season before when Micheal Vick did finally get a chance to play, he did not play well. In some cases he played poorly. But did they put him in the dog house or publicly roll the bus over him; and hastily and prematurely decide he he was not good enough and decide to go get rid of him? No. They kept Vick on the bench, continued to coach him up and now he is one of the most dynamic Qb's in the NFL. Their patience was rewarded. The Redskins and Giants games Vick was amazing.
Shanhan makes McNabb and Ah the scape goats rather than helping them improve and become better trade bait.
