If Shanahan's given up, what hope do we really have with him? A pretty darn disappointed and disillusioned long time backer of the HC.

I can't remember who said it, but I'm starting to come around to the train of thought that the Shanahans are riding on Griffin's athleticism and not his throwing ability. If they can't develop him into a passer, I have no problems with cleaning the entire coaching staff. I've said as much all day. Griffin needs to throw more just like the other rookie qbs. The time to "protect him" is over.

Seems like everyone is jumping off bandwagon. RG111 and Shanny were the greatest thing on earth when we were scoring 30 points a game. Now everyone thinks Shanny isn't developing our QB properly.Just another case of fare weathered fans

I hate that I feel this way but I agree with the OP. I have agreed with the coaches decisions all year so far through the good and the bad, but about half way through the game today I turned to my brothers and started doubting Shanahan. I hate to even type this but I want a new coaching staff, a staff with some balls.

Good luck finding a post from me being on the bandwagon.

Here's why I'm concerned...

RGIII looked unstoppable during the quarter of the season. He's crashed back down to earth a bit since then. Even if it is just a coincidence, that lends some credibility to the opinion that you can "get the book" on our rookie QB and offense.

There is no reason griffin can't run the same offense we ran with Grossman last year...he's a better passer and certainly more mobile. If he mastered that offense he could play for 15 years with his skill set. So, Griffin is still promising and Shanahan is going to get a 4th season, so let's see how things play out.

The last thing we need is to start throwing new offenses at Griffin. We've been down that road before.........

[D'Pablo]

Some of the players he inherited:

John Elway, Shannon Sharpe, Gary Zimmerman, Tom Nalen, Steve Atwater, Jason Elam, and Tom Rouen. 3/5 of that top flight offensive line was already in place, along with the awesome HOF QB, kicker, and receiving TE. Not exactly a bare cupboard.

With no cap room or high draft pick, I honestly have no idea how this roster is gonna get better next year.

[WheresRickySanders83]

Notice how much the offense has suffered since Fred Davis was lost for the year? I don't think we've adjusted to his loss. He was huge at opening up the field for our WRs. Now teams can focus on our average WRs. No one is worried about Logan Paulsen.

[TD_washingtonredskins]

If you think Griffin is as frail as Campbell, we'd better just cut him now.

I agree. We are 3-5 going on 5-11...now is exactly the time you give Griffin a bunch to digest.

Well, the roster will at least return our top two pass catchers and best pass rusher and pretty much anyone is an upgrade in the secondary. I understand the frustration, but I really think some of you are overlooking the impact of injuries to this year's team. In all my years watching football, I can't recall a Redskins team losing this many key players so early in the year.

Yeah, but we weren't taking any shots deep early in the year.

This makes zero sense with the arm under center they now have.

Hail.

Does Tannenhill have an OL in front of him more designed to pass pro, than say one that is more lightweight, and fleet of foot? ...............................Its the scheme... its the personnel... well, which is it?

The Dolphins runs a ZBS too. And although there OL is more talented we good pass protection when we throw off play-action and we throw off play-action more then any team in the NFL according to Greg Cosell.

Imo the lack of deep passing is scheme. I'm sure part of the thought process is to maintain ball control and be more effiecient on offense.

Nope. Some were saying this amidst all the early season back slapping and glad handing. Being objective is not the same thing as being fair weather. Would you let me piss on your leg and tell you its raining?

To be fair, RGIII has struggled with his deep ball accuracy. Losing Davis has really slowed our offense. Surprised people aren't talking about it more.
