PLAYERS: Kyle Shanahan,  Rex Grossman
TEAMS: Washington Redskins
Washington-redskins
Asked of his opinion of Rex Grossman’s play this season and his chances of returning to the Washington Redskins next season, offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan was noncommittal on the future while also praising and criticizing the quarterback.

Via Ultimate NYG  |  December 21, 2011
Enough is enough. It's an issue that's been highlighted on this Giants blog again. And again.

There are many narratives this year in the NFL. Which is no different from any other year. There’s always one main story the networks slam down the throats of their viewers and since there is no Brett Favre in 2011 to help shoulder the load, it seems like the narratives are lasting longer and taking up more time for the talking heads.
