RedlightG20 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Guys just stop being idiots. This kind of idiocy, I'm really ashamed that you call yourself Redskins fans by clamoring for each recently-fired Coach X. He was fired for a reason. Think. See the irony with this? ...

redskins59 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 How about...Acquiring the entire Cleveland Browns defensive line who sucked before the Broncos and sucked with the Broncos. Trying to build a defense by getting Champ Bailey, John Lynch, and Dre Bly. Wasting picks on Tatum Bell and Maurice Clarret. And in a rare explosion of PURE INCOMPETENCY FROM ALL SIDES, trading Clinton Portis, a proven ELITE back in Shanahan's system only HALFWAY through his contract. Both the Redskins and Broncos lost in this trade. Sure, Shanny has his flaws, but he is not a defensive guru. He is good at what he does, which is more on the offensive side. I understand he's supposed to be the HC, but how about letting someone else(someone who knows more about coaching defenses) decide on what defensive players to get? Trading Portis wasn't incompetence. He got Champ Bailey, and a second round pick. We overpaid for Portis, ask anybody who's not a redskins fan.

F-16 CHIEF Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 is he proven? is that why they fired him? good to know. Well, if you call 2 Superbowls proven. I do. 138-86. I don't know. Sounds pretty good to me. Is that proven enough? I mean, he's no QB coach from Seattle, but he'd do okay. Here we have Shanahan and Cowher both interested in continuing coaching, and we are committed to Mr. "medium" Jim Zorn. These are the reasons this club stinks it up each year.

Dan T. Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 THIS JUST IN: SOMEONE FIREDThe AP has reported that some sort of sports coach from some football team has been released. Redskins fans on ExtremeSkins.com are already clamoring for whoever it is to be the next coach of some sort for the Redskins. "I'm really excited for whoever it was to be our next coach" said ES poster Frediemac. "It is time to move on from the Zorn era and usher in the great era of Whoever Was Just Let Go. I can't wait to find out who it is". More as the story develops. :applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskins59 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 BTW, Even after Elway, Shanahan was still very successful. Just look at his record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shilsu Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Trading Portis wasn't incompetence. He got Champ Bailey, and a second round pick. We overpaid for Portis, ask anybody who's not a redskins fan. I agree we overpaid for Portis... But in a sick twisted way, Shanahan also didn't get enough for Portis. Different players can have different values for different teams, and I believe Clinton Portis was worth a LOT to the Broncos. Had Portis stayed with the Broncos, he would be a lock for the HOF and there would be discussions about Portis vs LT similar to the Sanders vs Smith debates.

SirClintonPortis Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 BTW, Even after Elway, Shanahan was still very successful. Just look at his record. His record the last three years is a nice 24-24. Plus he'll probably run the defense into the ground, trade Carlos Rogers for some draft pick that turns into a scrub, etc, and the Redskins become epic chokers because the team's defense can't do crap.

jimster Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 we should hire 16 guys. That way we can fire the head coach every week of the regular season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJL Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 . Zorn should become JUST the QB coach/O-Coord, so he can concentrate solely on Jason Campbell. The best part about Shanahan is, he would also help in the maturation of Campbell. Has that happened one single time in the history of the NFL?

Had Portis stayed with the Broncos, he would be a lock for the HOF and there would be discussions about Portis vs LT similar to the Sanders vs Smith debates. I think Shanahan's scheme is so good that they can plug in any RB and still be successful(this year obviously was an exception for them). Even after Portis was gone, Denver still had a top 10 running game for a few years. Having said that, I agree that if Portis stayed with Denver, he would be a lock for the HOF.

I'm not argue, because what you say is true. It's just that instead of having a perennial Top 10 running game, they would have had a perennial Top 5 running game. It's like in Minnesota... Chester Taylor was putting up awesome numbers before Adrian Peterson... But should they give up AD for Champ Bailey and a second round pick? Probably not.

mistertim Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Detroit should go after him hard Detroit is such a black hole right now that I'm not sure anyone would go there. Though I could see it if they promised Shanahan he could be HC and GM, which would be possible and an upgrade considering that a piece of wood with a face drawn on it would be an upgrade from Millen.

Well, I agree with what you just said, but many people feel that RB's are a dime a dozen, whereas a shutdown corner is hard to find. They probably felt like they were getting a good deal. I personally wouldn't have traded Portis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this was 4 years ago. That's only one season(2005) while in every other season after Elway they were either booted out in the wild card round or didn't make it at all.

You are correct, but I think making it to the playoffs is still a big achievement. Cowher needed 14 years or so to win the big one. After Elway, Broncos have had only 2 losing seasons.

kmast000 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 What made Shanahan so great on offense is that they always had a great OL. You could see that by how they could plug in any running back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
