2079138, on the low I think Shanny is doing Griffin no favors long-term

designed runs, even putting him out as a receiver once, zone/one-read passing options, limiting his attempts, etc.

These are all the marks of someone coaching for the 'right now' rather than him trying to farm-raise a QB from the ground-up like he did with Cutt Dawg (only for someone else to reap the reward) or rebuild a guy like he did with Elway (only for Elway to get all the credit there).

The Redskins have zero chance of going anywhere this season, everything should be focused on RGIII's long-term development which coaching for meager short-term gains will stunt.

And that's before we even get to the risk involved of having him get double-digit rushes each game & setting him up to be the first 1000 yard rusher at QB since Vick.

Of course, none of that really has anything to do with the reasons McNabb laid out so you can't really spin that his way but just saying.
