I agree that we should be better and there have been many missteps along the way (McNabb, handling of RG3 during offseason, etc. )

BUT, I'm just not sure changing coaches is the answer. We're coming off a NFC Championship, and we're stumbling out of the gates after our QB's knee is slowly healing.

Couple of reasons to stay put:
1) Lack of continuity has hurt us repeatedly over past 10-15 years, and new coach would put us back again without certainty anything would be better. Shanahan has taken almost 4 years to evolve roster to a 3-4 defense, ZBS, etc and a new coach could change it all again delaying all progress.
2) Shanahan had to deal with many challenges:
- $30M salary cap penalty limited staff's ability to get RT, WR, secondary help
- inherited Haynesworth, Portis, and very old/toxic team
- RG3's injury delayed his progress this year
3) Team has managed cap relatively well (aside from penalty). They have not backloaded many contracts, putting us in great position to get great FA's this coming offseason.
4) Drafts have been MUCH better than Cerratos years. T.Williams, Kerrigan (passing on Gabbert), P. Riley, RG3, A.Morris. Promising players like J.Reed, Hankerson, and ?? Amerson/Cousins, etc


I know we can't wait forever, but I'd still say changing coaches frequently has hurt us again and again, and I'd rather stick it out for a few more years than blow up the roster all over again.

They also re-signed Lynch. No doubt having those extra picks helped big time. The way I look at it, we sacrificed 4 starters for 1.

One of Mike's biggest blunders has been his choice in DC.I think the RG3 trade is still a very real debate as far as whether it was worth it or not.

From Shanahan's point though it was a no-brainer. It helped him win in 2012 using draft pick value from the 2013 and 2014 seasons, seasons that he only gets to coach in if he wins in 2012. The win now decision is not something that he regrets, nor should he. No matter what happens, we'll always have last year's seven game run.

I tend to lean towards the I'd do the trade again side, but there were so many great quarterbacks in the 2012 draft, that any team offering multiple firsts to move up definitely overpaid (and they were lined up to overpay). The draft is one of the spots where you can overpay for picks and not have it harm your franchise long term.

Unless you drafted Brandon Weeden. Then you really got it wrong.

I feel like the $36 million penalty hurt us, but trading away 2 firsts is worse.

Shanahan deserves to be able to finish the year. I still think he has to finish at the very minimum 7-9 to keep his job. No matter what happens, last year proved to me he deserves to finish the season.Shanahan definitely earned the benefit of the doubt last season. The real issue is: how much is still in doubt?

The cap penalty took away a number of opportunities to get better. But at 1-4, the problem is

We aren't 1-4 due to lack of talent. That much I'll say first and foremost.

You can't get those picks back. You're forced to develop RG3 into the kind of star that three top picks cannot replace. That is really hard to do. But it is what the Redskins signed up for.

I honestly do not believe the Redskins are very talented compared to the rest of the NFL.

I just think the Redskins really have nothing to be proud of at this point and time. They really do nothing well. They are almost the Jaguars. Even the Jaguars made the Denver game competitive for a half and they picked of Manning and he only had two touchdown passes. I'm not sure the Redskins could accomplish any of that.

When RG3 isn't great, like he was last year... you are seeing the results.

Yeah I could totally see the Jags putting together a 7 game win streak.

Griffin was great last year but he didn't do it alone.
