Let's be honest here anybody who sees what is going on in Washington and doesn't think the culture of disaster is contagious is delusional. The Washington Redskins should be 6-1 right now, the have lost two games because of defensive collapses in the fourth quarter.
So if you defense has not been able to hold your opponent to field goals in the fourth quarter when you are unable to run out the clock what do you do? You bench the QB. Yup that dang QB can't cover anybody in the secondary, can't get any pressure on the QB and can't stuff the run. I mean looking at who they are trying to work out (jamarcus russel, yes Oaklands jamarcus russel) claiming anything other than for some out strange reason trying to alienate your QB is a stretch right now.
I mean you'd do better just saying "hey, we feel the team isn't where we thought it would be(tied for 2nd in the division right now) so we are just gonna start our rookie QB for the rest of the season." You'd get the 0_o face from people or the >.> but at least you could claim some kinda plan for the future, I mean Mcnabbs not under contract so having a Rook who was sitting behind him waiting in the wings and start to prepare him for next seasons challenges that at least makes a little sense.
Not Jamarcus russel though, this guy couldn't handle it in oakland, and if claims are to be believe blew up to close to 300 lbs this off season. You claim it was a cardio issue with Mcnabb, so you get the guy completely out of game shape. You claim mcnabb didn't know the two minute drill well enough, so you work a guy who doesn't even know your offense. Now if the issue is you weren't expecting to win this fast, or have to be playing with the lead in most games say so. Maybe you thought "hey get the old QB we'll still suck, we'll get a high draft pick and I can mold him into my leader of the future". Which as coach of the washington redskins most would see that as an honest assessment of your situation. Because for the better part of the last decade they've been horr.... Hmm what word that starts off with those 3 letters best describes the redskins of the '00s you know what all of them. Type in horr in websters and ever word that starts off that way describes them.
So you start the season off first tied for the division lead and then tied for second, and you bench the QB. Yeaaaaaaaaaah are you sure you ever coached before cause that don't sound too smart. To top it off as it was defensive miscues that have killed you, your soon to be EX QB has the resume' of making you relevant until you decided to become captain ego. Cause you don't think he's gonna stay after being treated like this do you?
First you get caught being a tool to a defensive aquisition then you take a pedigreed QB, one who has accolades under his belt, one who brings a winning attitude and work ethic to you and you bench him. Yeah good luck with thos future contract negotations, you're gonna get dinged with the tool penalty til you leave, "yeah I need an extra 2 mil a year to deal with his ego, yeah that's non negotiable. If you don't like it I will leave and take less money elsewhere" and I know next year is a potential lock out year, but ladies and gents you do not want to be the team that nobody wants to play for because you have the ego maniac coach. It takes years for teams to recover from that player mentality. It's okay if you are winning(say like Bellicheck) and it's your philosophy and methods that have lead to the turn around, but when it just looks like you're trying to prove you run the team and it's your way or the highway minus the results, nobody wants to deal with that.
