| Kyle Shanahan Says Redskins Still Need A Franchise Quarterback | | | Redskins offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan has cast further uncertainty on quarterback Rex Grossman’s future with the team after he said the club remains in need of a franchise quarterback and will try to find one this offseason. Shanahan — who last week said that Grossman needs to eliminate his turnovers to succeed — praised the quarterback’s aggressive nature. But at the same time, Shanahan said he would have no problem going with a new quarterback next season even if the quarterback has no experience in Shanahan’s offensive system. “You don’t need a guy that’s experienced with your system,” said Shanahan, who is in his second season with the Redskins after directing the Houston Texans’ offense in 2008 and 2009. “When [Matt] Schaub came into Houston in his first year, he played at a very high level. I don’t think it’s a system that takes a long time to learn. You can get better at it, but everyone in the league runs similar plays.” Source: Washington Post
