there was a lot of passing plays too IIR - i guess less was known about the effects of concussion etc back then, that's not defending Martz att all - you know when someone is not fit to play
Cupp and Kooks might play Sunday

well since Patrick Peterson will be shadowing Diggs, I would say any other WR would be a better option
but I am 0-4 in FF so far so what do I know
Fisher rarely looked like he had total command of what was going on in the game - he probably didn't even notice.
It was like he was overwhelmed at the speed of what was happening.
McVay appears very aware of his surroundings and what's going on.
I can't respect a coach who leaves a player hanging out to dry... Martz was certainly one (Warner example cited, but I also recall him exposing Cutler badly). And one of the most egregious examples was Shanahan with RGIII. Not concussion, but he was clearly hurt and Shanahan left him in anyway.
These are selfish people who are only thinking about their own success... not the players.
I do not see McVay being anything like that.

Yeah, that was maybe the worst thing I've seen in the NFL.
Even the dirtiest of plays can only happen once. Martz sent a competitor out there and put him explicitly into a position to fail so that he wouldn't have to explain sitting a 2 time MVP for his new pet project.
Martz is persona non grata as far as I'm concerned.
No. Please do not attach anything Children of the Corn with this team.
Also, Malachi looks much more like Andy Dalton...

Yeah, Martz knew Warner was concussed which makes Martz a real SOB.
The thing with Shanahan was that I dunno if he realized exactly how bad the field was. Lots of QBs have toughed out knee issues... Rodgers is doing it now.
However, where Shanahan deserves to be rightly criticized is that he didn't restrict him to the pocket. If a guy has a flat tire, you don't go racing around corners on the rim. So Shanahan is responsible, but at no time did I feel that Shanahan was trying to see RG3 get injured.
Martz was actively trying to end Warner's career, an undertaking which he attempted several times in various ways.
