Yes I understand why Donovan McNabb has been benched; I understand that Mike Shanahan has decided to go a different route next year in terms of a quarterback; I understand that he wants to see what his options will be, and how well Rex Grossman can play for this team.
What I don't understand is how he came to this decision. Does he feel as though McNabb is passed his prime; does he feel that Rex Grossman gives him a better chance at winning in the future, or are there personal issues that we are oblivious to?
Shanahan is tough; he understands the game, and knows how to get the best production out of his players, and this is where the confusion begins. McNabb gives it his all; plus...he can still play! Grossman put up good numbers against the Cowboys; however, if McNabb had started, would they have won?
Shanahan is a proven winner and I'm sure he has thought everything through, but it does seem as if this choice will take some time to make sense to the fans; or for that matter, this choice may take years to show any progress for the Redskins.
The Redskins do not have dibs on the first pick in the draft; the Skins have other areas they could concentrate on and build upon during next year's draft, but now there will be a gaping whole to fill at the QB position. Rex Grossman is not the future of the Washington Redskins.
There are multiple options for McNabb next year; San Francisco, Arizona, Buffalo, possibly Miami, Minnesota, as well as Tennessee; if Vince Young's time there is indeed over. The Redskins and Titans may end up swapping QB's; however, as of now, McNabb will remain the backup to Rex Grossman.
Shanahan will have his hands full in the coming months before the draft and during the off season; he will have to make some difficult choices as to whom will be wearing Redskins jerseys next year, one easy decision should be that of Albert Haynesworth, but that is a completely different story.
The Redskins had issues before Shanahan came to town and his track record shows he knows how to handle issues pertaining to his team. The only question left now is "What will he do with this team"?
