Kirk Cousins Expected To Start Sunday

I actually think Shanahan did exceptionally well in the conference today. He seemed honest and forthright. He said Dan was 100% behind the decision to bench RGIII. He also admitted he made a mistake for not pulling him from the Seattle game.

To be completely honest, im starting to think there is a chance (although not a overwhelming one) that Shanahan comes back next year.

Snyder is really in a lose-lose situation. If he's not behind it, Shanny's right and he paints himself as a tyrant. Supporting Shanny means the Redskins organization looks like the idiot ship with Shanny as captain and himself as first mate.

Figure he picked the lesser of two evils.

He first better repair his relationship with his QB. Why I continue to be a fan of this circus is beyond me.

I'm confused.... His relationship with Cousins seems to be fine what does he have to work on? ;)

These boards are going to get pretty quiet when Cousins inevitably stinks up the joint.

Of course DS is behind it. It would cost him 7 mill if he wasnnt. He is admitting fault about the Seattle game now just to back up his benching of RG-3. It is all a chess match now between him and Snyder and there is 7 mill on the line.

Man you guys read way too much into stuff when you get mad at someone. lol.
MS admitted at the end of last year he should have taken RG3 out of the game. But I don't see how that detrimental to the team? RG3 is a grown man and could have said "coach my knee is busted up I can't play" <did he do that? no. I think it falls on both of them AND the damn doctor who failed to check him out when he came off the field.

im gonna nit-pic here. i dont know why the article said shanahan was a large reason for the skins getting the cap penalty.

the cap penalty/violation was for the structure of the contract vinny had AH and hall sign so i dont really know why that is put at shanahan's feet. the violation came at the time of signing, which was on DS and vinny's watch.

just nit-picking though.

im looking forward to watching mike's presser once it is up. sounds like he has gone full asshole but im gonna wait to watch and make up my own mindWrong. The penalty was for Shanny and Bruce Allen restructuring the original contracts, pushing a large portion as guaranteed money into the uncapped year (2010), reducing future cap liability. I still feel that this was legal since there was no CBA, and that year had no salary cap, but the owners colluded to not go there, and Dallas and Washington thumbed their noses at the rest of the owners. Bullshit penalty, but Vinny had ZERO to do with it.

I hope Cousins does well, it'd be nice to win for a change. But Cousins isn't gonna start for the Redskins, I mean he'd have to have 3 Peyton Manning type showings for him to even get consideration to be a starter here. And I don't even think that would do it.

Because Shannahan could have cut both players and all would have been good, but instead he chose to keep Al and Hall. Restructuring there contracts so all the prorated money would be charged to the uncapped year. This caused some teams to lose players at the position, because it made the franchise tag huge for the two positions. It was all Shannahan's fault.

SBXVII you might be the only living person left in the free world who still cannot see through Mikes BS.

Well, that presser was awkward...
