Good read on why RG3 won't be our QB.. And yes, I read it this time :)
Why RG3 Won't Be Shanahan's Choice - Hogs Haven (http://www.hogshaven.com/2011/12/12/2630194/why-rg3-doesnt-fit-in-dc?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=pulsenews)
Considering Mike's evident inability to evaluate which QBs will "fit" his super-duper awesome system (see McNabb, Rex, Beck) since he returned to pro football this kind of article makes me cringe. We're going to pass up a potential mega-talent QB in the draft for a coach who likely won't be here more than two or three more years and struggles mightily to pick the right fit anyway...
Edit: this is where a real GM, as in one who actually makes personnel decisions, overides a coach like Mike Shanahan in the decision to not take the truly best QB available or just shows coach the door. Unfortunately, Snyder still hasn't gotten this FO thing right. We've got a GM that's really just the HC's toady and the coach can't get it right to begin with.
