It's funny how I agree with more posts during the off-season. It was Shanahan's comments, not Fletcher's, that could be read as negative. I'm not even sure Mike has historical evidence on his side. Favre started considering retirement half way through his career lol and still turned out some solid seasons. Ed Reed too, and he's still the best safety in football IMO.

I'd still like to think it's better than 50/50 London returns. Who's to say he's just watching what the FO/coaches do to help the defense during the off-season?
