Nothing is more important than getting your QB playing at a high level. nothing

Who's saying that not getting your QB playing at a high level is not important?

All I'm saying is that this offseason the team needs to focus on improving (through draft/free agency, etc., etc.) other areas, such as the offensive line.

It looks like the team is ready to roll with RG3 as their starting QB. That means that this offseason, no resources should be spent on getting a QB (except maybe a back up if both Cousins and McCoy are out).

Let's take a look at what Pete Carroll did during the offseason before Seattle blew up:

- He spent draft picks on the offensive line and defense.
- Got a talented running back through free agency.

Seattle's plan for the QB position was to get a free agent to come in and take the reigns and to draft a project QB. By the time that project QB took the starting position, Carroll built such a strong team that he didn't need his QB to carry the team; and this allowed Wilson to develop into one of the top QBs in the league right now.

That's what we should do.

Gruden named rg3 the starter going into next season, not sure what to make of that if anything at all... Just not sure why he's always so quick to just talk in the media ...

[Evilgrin]

He said we are "going into the season with him as No. 1". That isn't the same thing as saying the job is his, and he can't lose it. If you think about it a bit, its not really that strong of a position.

Not sure if anyone heard Mike Shanahan today on 980. He pretty much confirmed what we've all heard about Griffin.

Did you think he was gonna say "my bad"?

Some of the tweets from the media say he is the starter on opening day.

Does this mean there will be no competition in camp?

Maybe Gruden is upset that it got out that KC went to his brother.

[Meks]

Eh, I think it's just a move at this point to shield off and quiet down all the hoopla surrounding rg and our qb situation... I don't think it hold too much water

Shanahan say that? No way. However, he confirmed that Griffin demanded that they stop running certain plays..aka read option. He also said he wanted to be a drop back passer and he wasn't happy different plays were called for KC. Shanahan basically said you're not good enough to run that type of offense right now. lol.

He also did say that he still believes that KC is going to be a very good starting QB in the NFL. He came off as someone that was 100% telling the truth. Real good interview.

Shanny sure loves to point the finger. Has he ever taken any blame at all for his time here??

[skinsfan69]

He wasn't pointing the finger at anyone. He was just giving more insight about what happened between he, Griffin and the organization. He came off as very truthful.

[MTK]

Pretty clear he's pointing the finger in a big way at Snyder

Mike Shanahan blames Daniel Snyder for RGIII’s infatuation with being an Aaron Rodgers-type guy - The Washington Post

Shanahan can go suck a meat sack

Where did rumors like "Haslett isn't to blame for past seasons because Shanahan kept overruling him", come from?

The culture in Redskins Park seems to have been toxic ever since Snyder bought the team. Firing Casserly and then later Schottenheimer for Cerrato early on. Reports that Gibbs did a great job "managing" Snyder when he came back. I don't blame Shanny one bit for throwing some mud back at the Redskins franchise.
