This ^^^^^^
Similar to the Jeff Fisher / Jared Goff situation, Shanahan absolutely did not want RG3, that is why he took Cousins as well to have as a backup plan. I believe Shanahan has said that several times. At the end of the day MS tried to make RG3 work because that was what he was paid to do.
