Michael Irvin tell the truth about Mike Shanahan

[@zekelarrimore55]

This is a sad thing to see in today's world. Newton didn't tear his acl in his first season.. Neither did Luck. How can you make that comparison? It's about RG3's health so I don't see how it's racist. And both Haynesworth and McNabb were overpaid underachievers. Michael please just be quiet and let the man coach

[@OtesTube]

i think that RG3 is the future of the Redskins but the real issue is that RG3 has NO offensive weapons. their defense sucks and now they're 3-10 and the worse thing about the Redskins is that there's no use in tanking the season cause they have no first round pick in the upcoming draft. the Rams get Washington's first round pick cause of the trade wash made to draft the player they're benching in the first place. it's a tough situation this is and i do recall the playoff game where shanahan got grilled for not benching RG3 when he got hit early in the game.

[@passingjudgement1194]

Shanahan tried to protect him with the system They ran in his rookie year. Rg3 thought he was a Aaron rodgers…..system changed in his second year plus he was hurt. That’s why he struggled

[@Subatomic_Glue]

Hindsight man, ruined Shanahan's coaching chances when he was right. He was not ready to be an NFL qb.

[@davettabowers6359]

Shanahan had a scheme to fit rg3 skill set.

[@Italiancwb125]

Are you kidding me? All Shannah did was run the Houston Veer with him the first year. That got RGIII, and he KEPT PLAYING HIM WITH A TORE ACL!!!!!!!!!!!! RGIII could have been the greatest QB ever because he could throw pretty well. Mike Shannah should be in jail for what he did to RGIII!

RGIII has SUCKED all year. He's had maybe 2 decent or good games. Irvin should stick to things he knows about: playing WR, buying drugs, and cheating on his wife.

[@ChroniclerOfJudah]

is RGIII responsible for his WR's dropping passes? Defense being horrible? Offensive line not being able to hold a block for 2 seconds? oh what about the offensive play calling, i guess he's responsible for the bad play calls too.

[@zl1vette427]

Skinhead , I guess last year Washington had a great coach, great WR's, and great OL ? No, it's not 100% on RGIII but he rushed back and has had a Sophomore Slump. Is he Almost As Good As Luck or is he a Bust ? The next 2-3 years will tell.

[@mattmarch2511]

the whole point is, did they bench Manning in his rookie year? NO. He is asking would they sit Luck. that would be no as well. RGIII didn't deserve the bench! (This is coming from a Broncos fan)

[@brianbuckley5432]

Not sure what Irvin's point is. Luck is 8-5. RG3 is playing hurt and is 3-10. Umm is bench RG3 too. Race is irrelevant here.

[@Chitownsfinesthoops]

So RG3 is the only guy responsible for 3 and 10? REALLY? This is a team game and the defense sucks major. Shanahan has a history of ruining QB's and running off like a weasel.

[@brianbuckley5432]

I think the fact that RG3 is not healthy is a great reason to sit him. However, the power struggle btwn Snyder and Shanahan is the main reason he's sitting. Not the color of Griffins skin.

[@Chitownsfinesthoops]

Brian Buckley I dont know what game they are playing between Shanahan and Snyder but its quite clear Shanahan does not relate well to players and likes to make a scapegoat of his players. This team is terrible on defense and special teams, putting all the blame on RG3 is unfair.

[@willthisidbetaken]

C B Taylor Shanahan has a history ruining QBs?! Ever heard of a guy named John Elway? How about Jake Plummer? Do you even watch football? John Elway speaks for himself. As for Plummer, take a peek at this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jake_Plummer#Denver_Broncos_.282003-2006.29

[@Chitownsfinesthoops]

Shanahan is a loser, anybody that ignores his mediocre history with teams and star players, just does not understand logic.

[@lonniejackson5733]

Mike was a woke Black Man at that moment. Speaking the truth.

[@lonniejackson5733]

@LeeT44 Who siad anything about race??? You are making it about race. I am looking at the facts. RG was hurt at the end of his rookie year. You play him every game his second year except the last three. That's bull shit. Don't talk about injuries because RG wasn't the same player the start of the second year. So if you are concerned about his health, you don't wait until the last three games of the season to sit him. Makes no sense.

[@ziggy6698]

So the only successful season RG3 ever had was under Mike Shanahan and you say Mike Shanahan ruined his career? Did you know that Shanahan and his staff had to actually LEARN the zone read, they had never run it before, in order to accommodate RG3, who Snyder refused to let go in the draft? Shanahan did everything in his power to help that kid. You guys are coo coo for coco puffs, man.

[@passingjudgement1194]

Shanahan was right

[@havu2236]

The problem Mike had with RG3 is he didn't want to draft him and he was right not to. Look where Cousins is and where RG3 is. You are telling me that all those coaches out there are wrong or they just don't want a black QB because RG3 can barely hold on to a backup role now.

[@Gudgeissotolerable]

Dion, yes both Mannings won Super Bowls, but neither made it to the playoff in their second seasons, nor won a Super Bowls their second seasons. As a matter of the facts RGIII's stats after his first two seasons are better than both Mannings, and Drew Brees' second seasons stats.

[@danielmyers9372]

But did they get the preferential treatment in their second seasons like he is implying they have now? Hell no

[@willthisidbetaken]

Need to check those "facts" of yours. Didn't win the SB, but still made the playoffs. Peyton: 1st - 98: 3-13 2nd - 99: 13-3 (playoffs) www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/MannPe00.htm Eli: 1st - 04: 1-6 2nd - 05: 11-5 (playoffs) www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/MannEl00.htm

[@Gudgeissotolerable]

Willthisidbetaken, I stand corrected!

[@danielmyers9372]

I didn't say YOU did. That's what Michael Irvin was saying. Pay attention to the pronouns I used

[@kevinparamakurunathan2882]

agreed with michael irvin until he brought up the race factor. players being benched happenes all of the time. Its not out of the ordinary for franchise quarter backs to benched. It happened with Alex smith last year. Jim hardbaugh chose to keep alex smith on the bench even after his injury. in this game if you dont perform you get benched, period. it has nothing to do with race

[@dannymax852]

Lol, alex smith is not a franchise qb.

[@kevinparamakurunathan2882]

Good point

[@kevinparamakurunathan2882]

But RG3 is not a franchise quarter back just yet though, he will be, but not yet

[@Thor-Orion]

So guys, if Alex Smith didn’t have that absolutely grotesque injury who would still be starting in the nfl out of the three? Griffin, Kaepernick, Smith?

[@danielmyers9372]

Umm.. no, he definitely didn't. Clinton Portis (which is one of my favorite players ever) had fallen the f off. He honestly had to go

[@oleboy7331]

Same picture they're painting for Robert. He got rid of CP in Denver when he was at the top of his game.

[@willthisidbetaken]

Portis played 13 games in his last TWO seasons (09,10). He was plagued with injuries, not benched by Zorn/Shanahan because he is a "black star." "Portis was released by the Redskins after failed contract re-negotiations and repeated injuries" def sounds like Shanahan's doing... Also, Portis was traded by Denver for arguably the best Cornerback at the time, Champ Bailey and a 2nd round pick. You would be an idiot not to grab a lockdown corner and a 2nd round pick. Oh, and who did the Broncos and Shanahan draft with that pick? Tatum Bell. Yup, Shanahan is racist...

[@danielmyers9372]

Lol thank you ↑

Black quarterbacks have never had the same learning curve as there white counterparts.

Are you just talking about their skills running the ball? Because if not, there are about a million white quarterbacks that have MORE skills than all of them

[@zl1vette427]

Hey Maurice, white America wants to see quality football REGARDLESS if the skin colors involved. We could give a rat's ass what color the QB is. And if you think there are no white QB's that are better than Cam Newton (call me when he wins 1 playoff game ), Terrell Pryor (spell his name right, not that he's even Oakland's starting QB of the future), and RGIII (outstanding 1st year, horrible 2nd year, and a PITA father to boot) here are some names for you: Peyton Manning Eli Manning Drew Brees Tom Brady.
