And while I like him, he's not a franchise RB like Steven Jackson or even a guy like Michael Turner in their prime.

Also RB is one of the easiest positions in the NFL to find solid production at.

Obviously Morris was a great draft pick, but that's the only one.

I have two points:

1. great GMs are made by creating value, by finding starters after the second round. I only see one starter so far, and Shanny has had 3 drafts. There's no guarantee the linemen you mentioned will become starters. They're all projects at this point, none of whom have really threatened to start. Could they? Maybe. Will they? I wouldn't put money on it, would you?

2. The trade-for-RG3 plan only works if you find starters elsewhere, besides the 1st round. Shanny isn't holding up that end of the bargain.

Look, is Shanahan an embarrassment like Vinny Cerrato or even Joe Gibbs? No. Will he ever be a "good" GM who builds a regular post season team? I don't see it.

He has yet to win a single playoff game with a team he was GM of.
