Was Mike Shanahan Keeping RGIII In the Game After He Reinjured His Knee The Worst Coaching Decision In the History of Sports?
Listen I’ve watched sports for a long time. I’ve seen a lot of bad coaching decisions in my day, but I got to say Mike Shannon sticking with RGIII when it was clear he was crippled is probably the worst decision I’ve ever seen anybody make in the history of my life. And I’m not just saying that because of the possibility of ruining RGII’s career. That didn’t even factor into it for me. It was just painfully obvious he couldn’t play. He was literally a cripple. The Redskins have a legitimate backup who already proved he can win a big game. Like I have no problem with RGIII starting the game, but once he re-injured his knee it was over. Anybody with a brain could see that. The guy couldn’t move. How anybody could leave him in the game at that point was simply mind boggling. It’s not like RGIII is a pocket passer. If he has no mobility he’d dead. Honestly somebody should cut Mike Shanahan’s brain out and do a lobotomy because I’d love to know what he was thinking. And yes I think the Redskins win this game if Kirk Cousins plays from the 2nd quarter on.
On the flip side if they won it would be “the greatest coaching decision of all time” and RGIII would go down in folklore
Sort of sounds like Neil and Big Cat
Third
The fucking shanahan’s had to win games to keep their jobs. that’s why they kept them in there.
*him
I can’t wait for Ryan to stick it in Sherman’s ass next week
Grady Little had a pretty bad one.
FUCK YOU CW87 I wanted to be Third. Son of Bitch! Time to neck myself.
4th and 2
The worst coaching decision of all time was whatever the most recent decision by Rex Ryan was….
Pres you are a total retard. RG3 was their whole team and they had no shot to win if they took him out. How much did you lose on Washington?
Grady Little and Pedro for sure
Pres is such a slave of the moment…I feel like this is the 20th “is this the worst (fill in the blank) in the history of sports” blog in the last year…it was a bad call on Shanahan’s part but let’s relax with the hyperbole…fucking First Take has better analysis than this site sometimes
Yes.
Calling out Shanahan for bad decision, yet neil still writes blogs for barstool…pot, meet kettle.
Because if he didn’t leave him in. People would be bitching about how he didn’t leave him in.

mike shannon, rg2
You really think Kirk Cousins plays and they win this? Seattle is way different than the Browns Prez… You know better than this.
That being said, yeah, was retarded to play RG3.
@jackofspades we live in the age of hyperbole so get used to it. Jadaveon Clowney just had the best hit ever, Russell Wilson is the best rookie QB ever, Lebron James is the best basketball player ever, Leo Messi is the best soccer player ever, Shanahan made the worst coaching decision ever, Obama is the worst president ever, etc. There is no sense of perspective in the media anymore, and the newest thing is instantly crowned as the best/worst ever. I hate it too but it’s not gonna stop anytime soon. PS pres worst blog ever
As we all know Timmy seems to shrink when he has to play up in Montreal. He was awful in Montreal versus the Habs…yet the Bruins trot him out there to get eaten alive in game 7. Relive it.

wow christosterone, that was hilarious!
Natkingcole…I agree…zero historical perspective anymore…Pres does it a lot though…and he fancies himself a sports guru
Add “(Insert Current “It Guys” Name)’s World, and We are Just Living In it” to the list of shit El Pres says @Natkingcole
Fuck off already @LockedOutHabsFan. How are you able to talk with Gomez face fucking you right now with his huge 7(mil) cock..
@lockedouthabsfan, are you serious? Like this post has anything to do with your fraud, wanky, little diver team. And Grady Little was bad too, but this is football, way more fuckin important.
I’m actually starting to like locked out habs. It takes a special type of troll to do what he does. Just absolutely nothing else to do but troll a boston websute. Gotta respect it.
PS Richard Sherman is a fag
Kid’s already got Michael Vick’s body in his first year. 5 years max for a career if he keeps playing like he does.
If people think players are anything more than a piece of meat, you are deluded. RG3 was crippled in the 1st quarter, took him in and gave him a shot or 6 ….back at it. When his career is done in 4 years, remember this moment
Good thing it wasn’t “mind bottling” – Washington fans would seriously be fucked.
Natkingcole is spot on something doesn’t go someone’s way now and days people go crazy sure cousins could of game in and lost the game for the skins but he rolled the dice with rg3
Haters gonna hate shanahanananas gonna fornicate
It’s going to be hard to get an appointment with Adrian Peterson’s doctor tomorrow.
On the bright side, RGIII is the leading candidate for Comeback Player of the Year next season.
Also add “Is this the biggest Hardo” to the list of Pres’ most recent momment, blog gimmicks.
Defensive replacement for Bill Buckner in game 6 would have been nice…
@natkingcole except Obama is the worst president ever.
Cancel Philly how is Obama wise than george w?
All the rookies cracking during playoffs… Big surprise.
Anyone else think atlanta is in trouble?
Horrible decision but not surprising to anyone who has seen the Super Bowl recap shows. Terrell Davis tells Shanahan he literally can’t see anything, and Shanahan tells him he has to go in or no one will bite on the play action pass.
Do you jackasses really think nil would still be blogging if it was costing noseface money? Remember stoolala?
Healthy RGIII: Two drives, two TD’s, 140 yards offense
Broke dick RGIII: Three quarters, zero points, 60 yards offense
Yeah, I’d say his injury had a little impact. I was screaming for Cousins at half time. Shanny fucked us on this one.
RG3 is the new Favre… Total Glory hound, and by the way Robert easy on the consoling of Romo…Your a rookie and have never won a playoff game
Darthquider wears underwear with dickholes in the back. Hardo!
Ur a sports clown prez, not even the worst in last 12 months. Tibbs did the exact same thing with drose.
Darthquider sucks balls.
What else do you expect from Shanny and son?
@Alex the cunt… It seems like he was really hurting after the turnover, and then wow all of a sudden he walks off..Then comes back to the sidelines walking aroungd..next all of a sudden the reports are the there is no ligament damage. The real tough guys in the league you would never know when they are battling something like that… RG3=Favre
@theusererror get back to fingering your sister you tool.
Darthquidrmer favre played through injuries his whole career and is the toughest qb of all time comparing rg3 to the almighty greatest qb of all time Brett favre is a compliment
i got burnt on this game to but i do agree awful decision and i also think skins would have prevailed if cousins was in… just. what solidified my point was trent dilfner saying this was ‘absolutely the right thing to do, hes been there from snap 1 of the season hes the guy who has to finish it’…..
Why are there so many spaces after your periods? iPhone problems?
@wilburham what was the game Favre got carried off the field and they were holding his jaw like his face was shattered and he was laying on the cart on the sidelines. I think he was with Minnesotta playing the PATS. Oh surprise surprise he was fine!!!
bunch of squids.
Darthquider u retard favre was 49 years old washed up and a grandpa at that point you clearly are a fan boy troll who has never played sports. It’s called a stinger u kyke
GodsAdvised is Jay Cutler, yo Jay what say you?
—
Zimmer Down, 8 by 4, buddy. GIRTH.
Wow wilburham you little cunt…hit a nerve much?? maybe Favre was tuff with 100 vic’s a day… Maybe if your lucky someday you could get Favres Autograph or maybe a poster. You fucking squid jock sniffer
Ps darth the dumbass favre threw for more yards than Brady in that game
@Wilbercunt..your making my point ,why was that glory hound, dick picture taking drug addict still playing until he was 49?
wilburhan commenting on people playing sports when he plays soccer. Bahahahaha
Wow darth pussy you are pathetic
no comment on ray lewis today?
No but Lisa Anns tits are huge http://www.lazloscloset.com/2012/12/03/slice-it-of-the-week-lisa-ann/
so basically what you’re saying is…you lost money on the Redskins.
Trent Williams mushing Richard Sherman’s face post-game made my week. i know he’ll play it off like, “whatever…we won, and you’re going home”, but football is a game. getting your face mushed is a real life manhood thing, and Sherm just went out like a big. I wish Brady snuffed him when he ran his mouth. Getting KO’d by a publicly well-mannered prettyboy QB is a terrible look, no matter how you slice it.
darthquider still sucks balls.
@ alex you like giving the old “thumbs” up to yourself? maybe you should see someone about your self esteem issues?
Darth, go play in traffic. And no, just because you were the equipment manager doesn’t mean you were a part of the team.
darthqider, Favre played well into his 40s because he was still being payed millions of fucking dollars. And fuck off with that “RG3 fakes injuries”. Did you see his knee buckle? You wouldn’t last a snap in the NFL.
Greatest decision ever if RGlll comes up with a play and they win, worst decision of all time if they lost. They lost. Up is down. Black is white.
Actually up is UP and black is BLACK
Funny how the Nats and the Skins make two completely different medical related decisions with their young stars (i.e. Strasburg and RGIII), yet both are booted in the first round of the playoffs…
Hindsight is 20/20, so this doesn’t mean much… But yeah having a normally mobile but temporarily crippled QB try to become a pocket passer on one leg against a top D in a single game was probably a bad idea. Cousins seems capable, he would have been able to score again at least.
Seattle/Patriots super bowl? Anyone see sherman get bitch smacked?
^ Cuncel Philly Site knows his shit. Dick Sherman thinks he’s a smart guy too.

El Prez you may be rich but sometimes you just suck at your own craft. “Worst call in the history of sports”, please, do you have a total of 15 phrases that you switch from time to time you repetitive, undeserving cocky jew
Hindsight is a great thing. That said, drafting Tony Eason instead of Dan Marino looks pretty bad…well, since 1983.
Robert Griffin ( I refuse to use the RGX Bull shit he trademarked before he took a snap in the NFL) — is just a moral Mike Vick. ‘Athletic’ QB’s i.e. those that think run before pass DO NOT WIN in the NFL. They make the highlight reel but they don’t win when it counts. Russel Wilson is of nearly the same cloth. His “big run” of 28 yards was chosen over a pass atttempt to a wide reciever that was 3 yards ahead of the nearest defender and an easy TD.
Can’t say alot of bad things about Griffin being gang banger thug like Vick — but again he was signing endorsements for millions before he threw a pass. He will never play an enitre 16 game season and will be concussed and ACL-ed out of the league before doing anything more than a few wild card appearences and a few more highlit reals.
And if i see another “Ray Lewis retires” BS piece I am going to puke. Can’t stand that prison monster thug.
youre a fucking idiot if you think anything besides an absolutely stellar RGIII prevents a Washington loss in this game…stop being butt hurt over the seahawks picking your boy off twice
Kid was jerkin off to the sears catalog 2 years ago. Shit ain’t fair.
The worst coaching decision was Rex Ryan’s tattoo I’d say.
Correct, he is just another Michael Vick. Without his legs he is just an average QB.
