Based on what? Shanny s a fine coach. That RG3 trade is crippling their defense but Shannahan is in no danger

 

that and being penalized ridiculous amounts of cap space due to the uncapped year fiasco.

 

traded away cheap good players, and cant afford vets to fill the holes til next year.

He may be in more danger now. The trade for RG3 was smart in the sense they got their guy, but if EJ turns into a good starter and we got Kiko and Woods too, who got the better deal?

 

History says the team with the great starter got the better deal.

 

Obviously, Manuel is kind of an awkward mess right now compared to guys like RGIII, Luck, Kaepernick and Wilson. But I think teams liked his mental make-up the way the Giants liked Phil Simms when they drafted him long ago. Simms never had the ceiling of the great QB's of the day, but he turned into an elite game manager/leader. That may end up being EJ's ceiling........and if Whaley surrounds him with great talent that may be enough. That hasn't been the case for the past decade......great QB's are winning the SB's.....but there is no rule that says you can't win one without an elite QB. But unfortunately it is not easy to keep talented teams together the way it was in the 1980's so in the long term.....chances are the team with the better QB gets more shots at making the playoffs/winning SB's.

Shanahan is safe. Redskins fans are still enamored with the name and past success that he had with the Broncos. Their fans get that their defense is on the old side and can only play one half of a football game. They'll make moves to reload the D this coming offseason and see how it goes next year. Shanahan has at least one year left before they start calling for his head.

Live in DC and they are calling for change. He's headed into the final year of his contract and their are thoughts he will walk away if they don't extend him. Problem is that they are awful, so why extend him. He isn't a good coach.

 

Because they are down 36m over two years and lacking draft picks and are remaining remotely competitive is a pretty good reason for them to be optimistic long term. 18m this year could've signed them 3-4 good starters.

Are you crazy? They lost to Minnesota, are 3-6 and are in the worst division in football. That's not competitive. Of their 6 loses, almost none of them were 'competitive'. They squeeked by Oakland; beat a Chicago team that had to bring in a back up QB mid game and were 6inches from losing at home to SD.

 

The talent is there. The coaching is bad!

18m in cap hits is A LOT. Especially for a team that's lacking draft picks ie cheap premiere talent. Example, in terms that bills fans will grasp quick - you could have levitre and Byrd added to that roster with room to spare, or you could do branch, Lawson, mckelvin and Stevie (4 starting caliber talents!) or even Mario Williams and branch (a premier top paid in the league player at a premier position and room to spare)

 

18m a year in salary cap hits is HUGE.
