The Mike Shanahan regimes deserves another year.

But, a few point of facts:

o The offense has only recently begun to improve (3rd down conversion/RZ scoring/passing game efficiency) over Zorn's offense and Zorn had less talent

o Bruce Allen is not a true GM he's more of a cap expert/PR guy

o There have been personnel mistakes.
The biggest and scariest is the entering into year 3 of a rebuild without a QB of the future.
For 2 seasons they've missed on the most important position on any team especially a team as determined to win with the passing game.

Imo being the HC and the defacto GM is a schizophrenic existence at the heart of some of the mistakes made thus far.
Not being able to set a firm path on either rebuilding or winning now has lead us to 2 season somewhere in the middle.

Shanahan deserves another year, and for his sake and ours I hope he solves the QB problem.
