Worst Mistake of the Shanahan Era

[NC_Skins]

1. Hiring Haslett
2. Trading for McNabb and Jamal Brown
3. Re-signing a 37 year old MLB to contract when better (and cheaper) options were there
4. Not pulling Griffin in the Seattle playoff game.
5. Signing Josh Morgan to that moronic contract
6. Not releasing Moss in off-season

Here is my list of Shanahan major fuckups, and I've listed them according to how horrible they were.

7. Trading so much for RGIII when our team lacked so much talent.

I agree with all of this and will pass judgement on #7 in a couple of years.

Last year he was worth every penny, and I believe we will see it again next year. I am really disappointed in the staff's inability to train him properly even as the season has gone on. I get he rehabbed last offseason but why is he still making some of the same dumb mistakes.

Just want to clarify something. On #7, I put that down, not because I don't like RGIII or think he's a bust, but because that team lacked so much talent back then. I look at the talent on this OL and WR and see talent we missed out on because of missing draft picks. In fact, I'll remove that because it really isn't a "fuck up" per say.

Here's a pop quiz for you: Name the Redskins QB Coach. You don't know? I didn't think you could do it.

Add this to the list of Shanahan failures: The failure to hire quality assisstant coaches to "coach up" the players.

Not bringing in a more competent defensive coordinator. It's way too early to bitchin' about the RGIII move.

Yeah last yr we were all saying it was a great trade for Griff, he's fine it's the other fuck ups that MS has done. Last night he looked like he knew he was done and didn't care

I'd agree that the worst mistake Shanny made was scrapping a Top 10 4-3 defense that didn't need to be overhauled.

Devaluing Haynewsworth and Davis to the point we wasted chances to get something good for them

Yep what a waist of 4 years this was and has been, yeah we got RG3 and ALF but we r still a shitty team and a shaky future so really nothing has changed much

In general, Shanny has not done a good job of protecting the value of the team's player assets. What happened with RGIII in the Seattle playoff is another example of that, IMO.

Landry and Rogers could be added to the list.

yep, overall He's done a bad job as a HC, he should be fired and if not it's a damn shame that he isn't. I'm so over this staff

Seems minor compared to the major problems I see on the field. An extra 5th or maybe 2nd round pick? Dont think that woulda fixed much, but a issue that coulda been dealt with much better.

Possibly as to Davis. AH was a waste of player - that we got anything at all for that trainwreck is amazing to me.

To be honest, how much value did any of these guys have to begin with? Fred was a free agent this off-season and garnered really little to no interest. Should he have just played Fred even though Reed outplayed him, just so he could get his value up?

In regards to Haynesworthless, how much value could we really garner from him? Exactly what was he supposed to do with him? We heard what Cooley had to say about this clown. We saw him giving up on plays and laying down during the Philly MNF massacre.
