The bad are too numerous to mention. The good are too few: the ones in his first two season that helped win a SB. All the others are irrelevant.

For a guy that whines as much as you do you sure are a lazy poster.

add to that list Jumpy Geathers, Michael Dean Perry (I know about the offsides, but he was a hell of a DT), Alfred Williams, Darien gordon, Tony Jones, Reuben Droughns, Shannon Sharpe :~ohyah!:

What else needs to be said? Those are ALL dynamic impact players that went a LONG ways for this organization.

Remember when Shannon Sharpe left for the Ravens, won a ring, and then came back to the Broncos as a Free Agent?

Listen, you don't have to grease me to give Shanahan some backhanded credit.

I give Shanhan all the credit in the world for re-signing Sharpe (notice my name at all). You just seem to be on a roll with not thinking before you post.

Are you high? Yes, I know who you are.
You're the guy who says Al Davis, who paid how much for Walker, Kelly and Gibril Wilson, wouldn't consider apologizing and paying Shanahan to try and buy a winner?!?!?

I've just moved on. Shanny is history. He's irrelevant to us now. Doing a post-mortem on his many many screw-ups as a GM is just as pointless as rehashing the many excellent games he called for us. (Not too many in the last five years, of course, but you get my point.)
Shanny will soon be some other team's concern. Waste not a worry or a thought on him. He'll do fine, I suspect. And we'll do even better.
