Mike Shanahan is obsessed with Robert Griffin III, I’m convinced of it. Shanahan said in an interview with TheUndefeated.com that he didn’t agree with owner Dan Synder’s decision to “mortgage” the future and trade up to draft Griffin. 

According to the interview, Shanahan didn’t feel the package the Redskins gave up was worth it for a quarterback like Griffin. He felt that Griffin was limited as a passer and that he would struggle learning to play under center.

Look, all of this sounds good but if Shanahan felt that strongly about trading up to draft Griffin, he should have said something at the time. I know Redskins owner Daniel Synder is headstrong but regardless, if Shanahan was opposed to drafting Griffin, he should have taken a stand against the move. He has enough cache that he could have done that. He didn’t so he should stop with the retrospective B.S! Hindsight is always 20/20 Mike.
