Shanahan never should have let him play in week 17 and that playoff game against Seattle on that field. That pretty much ruined his career as he wasn't healed from the injury and likely looks like he injured it to the point where he'll never recover.

A team like Philly could try him as a project QB...but they moved on from a beat up and banged up Michael Vick in favor of more pocket style guys in Sanchez and Foles and have been better off for it.

I agree with Pagal, with RG3 unable to run like he used to, he isn't good enough at the traditional parts of being a QB to really be worth anything. He has a strong arm to be sure, but right now everything else looks to be pretty badly lacking, and can he learn to play that type of game when he was so used to playing a different style.

You look at the guys who are getting it done at the QB position today, and all of Manning, Brady, Luck, Roethlisberger, and Rogers are really good pocket passers. Guys like Rogers, Roethlisberger, and Luck are more athletic and can do things outside the pocket. As they say...the more things change, the more they stay the same.
