Kirk Cousins on Kyle Shanahan Oh, I’ve always been a big fan of Kyle’s. I’ve always spoken very highly of him from the day I was picked. And he called me right after the draft and just preached belief in me and encouragement and has coached me hard in all my years playing for him. I loved his system right away and saw it successfully run with Robert Griffin, I’ve now seen it successfully run with Matt Ryan. And I just believe Kyle adapts his scheme to the players he has. He’s just an offensive genius. He understands Xs and Os very well. He watches film, he just doesn’t read press clippings or make decisions based on hype. He watches the tape and his decisions over time have proven to be right. I’m a big fan of his. I always will be. Even though he’s been on other teams I’ve always rooted for him and wanted to see him succeed.

Blaming Kyle Shanahan Not Ryan Is Wrong
http://deadspin.com/all-the-falcons-had-to-do-was-not-lose-23-yards-1792028183
They're right back to bashing Kyle Shanahan. Only thing he's guilty of, and Quinn too, is not knowing the nature of his QB enough to pre-route around his defects. #1 of which is that he cannot handle serious pressure. So when they say a handoff should have been called, they are correct, but not for the reason they think. There's nothing wrong with a pass, the problem is that exactly what happened is likely to happen - Ryan has failed in this situation before. Ryan has never won a big game until the conference championship against GB, and that was a matter of the Packers running out of gas.
Matt Ryan is on a list of above-average QBs who always fail in the clutch. Along with:
Andy Dalton
Carson Palmer
Matt Stafford
Those guys never have or will win a serious game, they don't have it between their ears.
Not Alex Smith. He's just not good enough. More a physical thing. The other guys have the tools, south of their hatstand, anyway.

Kyle Shanahan - They Love Him Now That He's Successful
They had nothing but nasty words for him then, when Griffin fell apart. They blamed him and his father for destroying Griffin's career. The opposite of the truth, as future events would show. Now that he's proven himself beyond doubters in Atlanta, they love him. They retrofit their opinions.

Whites and Redskins and Mike Shanahan
Back at the height of the whining about the Redskins' name there was an irony that passed unremarked:
People, by which I mean the leftist press, were attacking Mike Shanahan for being red faced. Having leathery red skin. For literally being a redskin. They were attacking him racially, while complaining about racial bias. The reason they attacked him was that he offered valid analysis of Robert Griffin and Kirk Cousins - analysis born out 100% by all subsequent happenings.
Today, Cousins is in line for a 100,000,000+ contract. People believe he is at least a considerably better than average QB, and many believe, as Shanahan and others have said, he can take a team to the Super Bowl. Meanwhile, Robert Griffin struggles to stay on the field with one of the worst teams in the league.
For simply stating facts, or offering reasoned analysis, whites endure racial abuse from the jewish media. Which you know as the mass media. It doesn't matter whether it's politics, business or sports, if you say something that runs afoul of the jewish party line, you are Semitically Incorrect, and the green light flashes for the personal abuse to begin. After you are proved correct, no one comes around and apologizes, either.
Think about all the moking and abuse these white men endured for doing nothing but -- at every point -- what was best for Griffin:
- Kirk Cousins - kept his mouth shut, was completely supportive, never said a bad word in the media
- Mike Shanahan - jiggered his offense to support Griffin's abilities; later went along, per the owner-Griffin demand, with trying to turn Griffin into a pocket QB, though he lacks the ability
- Kyle Shanahan - did all he could to help his father get Griffin set up to succeed.
The latter two were absused in the media. The former was slighted.
How does it look today?
- Cousins is top QB free agent
- Kyle Shanahan is top coaching prospect, with the #1 offense in Atlanta, going to Super Bowl
- Mike Shanahan is called frequently for comments on Cousins
That's all we'll go into now. The key is that sports coverage is driven by ideology. For sports, as someone said of war, is just politics by other means.
