Are we being fair to Kyle Shanahan?

The dirtballs, the failed execution in the 4th quarter. Nope, that wasn't his fault either right? If he goes to Minnesota and stinks it up there, you'll still be making excuses for him.


Let's take a look back and see the QBs that have excelled in Andy's system:

1) AJ Feely
2) Michael Vick
3) Jeff Garcia

Each one of the guys came in and played just as good if not better than McNabb. So what's the one thing constant in all this? The system. Insert X QB into the slot and the same production is there. It's a telling sign when a divisional rival coach sends his starting QB over to you to roll with a guy who hasn't played much at all. THink about it.

McNabb has always been the problem. His work ethic, ability to learn and adapt, and his horrible accuracy. Why is it Rex played better when he came in? Same crappy team, yet much better results. You can't deny that, but I imagine you'll close your eyes and ears because you don't want to know the truth. You'd rather just point the finger at everybody else and blame them. It fits your agenda after all.

Saying Feeley excelled in Reid's system is like saying that Ramsey excelled in Spurrier's system.

kyle's fine, give him time. I don't think we had great personnel out there, and still doesn't have a QB, but we'll see how this year goes.

bigger fish to fry.

I have faith in Kyle. I don't understand how so many of us can sit and complain about Dan Snyders impatience and as soon as a move is made that doesn't look like dits taking us directly to the Super Bowl we are ready to dump it. The man has been here one year, his system needs time. We have to get players in and allow the seeds to grow.

I wanted Kyle when he was in Houston, he was the toy in the Mike Shannahan Happy Meal. Give it time Redskins fans, stop being like they guy we love to blam for everything. We act as if we are better, it's time to live by our words.

There is no reason that Rex should've outplayed McNabb, either. For all intents and purposes, McNabb should be the better quarterback. But everything worked a hell of a lot better with Rex. Tempo was better, the play calling was diverse, the ball came out closer, Santana, Armstrong and Cooley all looked more effective. Rex played with a great sense of urgency. With better tempo.

I hope we give Kyle some time to demonstrate what he can do. We just have some many inconsistencies everywhere, from the front office to the players on the field, so I hope we can stick with someone and see how they can do without firing them after one or two years.

Maybe Danny Boy can give Kyle just a wee bit of help calling plays by getting Sherm Smith to come back to town and play that role. It worked so well when he was here last time...
