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

We should have kept Chase...but seriously folks, Jake Plummer totally sympathizes with McNabb right about now.

But Shanahan tends to be this way, he likes to shake things up at seemingly the oddest times at the QB position. I don't think he will this time namely because I'm not sure he has anyone to turn to. I think he realizes McNabb is the best option. I don't know about the Shanahans not liking the tempo of how McNabb practices, but they certainly have been frustrated with certain elements of his game. Well one, his footwork

Back to Chase, I'm not saying we should have kept him (though we should have) and I'm not saying we should have traded up for Sam Bradford (would have taken him at #4 though if he was there)...but I'm still surprised we didn't draft any future QB in the later rounds.

I didn't see anything really from Beck to think he's the answer

Just shoot me now, not sure I can take 2 weeks of this talk

You can thank the head coach for materializing this out of thin air.

Norv isn't even 60 yet, where do u get this stuff?

Matty please forgive me. I remembered Norv as a former coach from way back and confused him with Marty Shottenheimer, who i believe is near 70. Again, my apologies.

Cmon guys Shanny isn't going anywhere

Shoot if Haslett could stay on and really get the D going, I would take another shot at Norv once the axe falls in San Diego, if Shanny bolts next season. Give Jim the HC job Norv back at OC or Give Norv the HC/OC and keep Jim as DC. I know I am really going off on a tangent, but these excuses coming out every few hours is moronic. Is this guy for real? He is losing credibility by the hour!!!!!

If we brought Norv back as HC, I would instantly resign as a moderator here and leave this site.

Not sure I would say it's out of thin air, McNabb has played like shit most of the year. It was only a matter of time before it came to a head.

I'm all for blowing things up again here if the season totally tanks, but isn't Norv like 70 years old???

Nothing against elderly people (this time lol, reference to a thread long ago), but we need a somewhat young coach who could be here for more than 3 or 4 years.

But thinking of old coaches, is there any chance at all we can get Joe Gibbs to come back if Shanahan quits or is fired??:food-smil

That last part is meant to be a joke. I remember when i was still at Extreme Skins and they actually had a long thread about how they could try and get Joe Gibbs to come back after Zorn's first 8-8 season....lolNorv isn't even 60, and honestly, we have not had a consistently decent offense since Norv was here. I would take him back as our OC after watching years of crap on the offensive side of the ball.

He's definitely not, the fact it's even being brought up is insanity.

Norv's problem was he was too laid back and his pass defense, minus Darrell was very bad. And I am not all that serious about wanting Norv back, but this excuse a minute for the benching crap is weird. I rather have a guy with balls, and who takes responsiblity, and can work with what he has and adapt that with his system he has brought in. Donovan came in here really excited and with a great attitude, just to be treated like a scapegoat? Sure I admit, that he hasn't played to expectations, but what QB can with a substandard line that is learning an entirely different blocking scheme? Gibbs would have never done this, Norv or Spurrier either.

I confused Norv with Shottenheimer. I agree with you though. Looking back on the stats, the redskins problem for a very long time has been a weak offense. Except for 2005, when were we blowing anybody out??

What was their secret in 2005? Brunell was playing like the Pro Bowl QB he was in Jacksonville, Portis was not physically shot, Santana was looking like an All Pro, and Joe Gibbs had found his Midas Touch again. But what did they actually do that made the offense so powerful?? I mean we even had a 43 year old starting lineman...

Why can't Shanahan do the same thing???
