1.) Snyder gave Shanahan the keys to the kingdom and stepped away from the team. The cluster that is the Redskins is almost all Shanahan, and sheds a lot of light on why the guy has done almost nothing since his meal ticket (Elway) retired.
2.) RGIII was rushed back before he was ready, and without an offseason, as just a second year player. Despite that, his numbers are right about where Tannehill's are. He hasn't nose dived down into Mark Sanchez/Geno Smith territory.
3.) For all the shots being taken at Griffin, the truth is that the offense is the strength of Redskins. It may be a lowly 23rd in the league in scoring, but the defense is 32nd in scoring defense and the special teams are some of the worst we've ever seen.
Shanahan's playing games in order to save his money, rather than doing what's best for the team. When Griffin should have been on the bench (First weeks of the year, end of last year), Shanahan played him. Shanahan may have permanently damaged a young player's leg and career, and, even though it won't happen, I hope he finds that he's never able to get another NFL job.
