Shanahan says McNabb not in shape to run two-minute offense.

Question

Washington coach Mike Shanahan changed his story in a hurry. The new explanation: Quarterback Donovan McNabb was benched more because of his body, not his brain. Less than 24 hours after declaring he yanked McNabb because of a “gut feel” relating to McNabb’s less-than-full competence in the offense, Shanahan instead insisted Monday that it was a preplanned move that had more to do with “cardiovascular endurance” issues. will this affect the player's performance and repute?

Answer 1

It's not good in the short term, certainly.
