Donovan McNabb Says Robert Griffin Has Lost Teammates Support, Blames Mike Shanahan [VIDEO]

Veteran NFL quarterback-turned-football-analyst Donovan McNabb says the Washington Redskins locker room has turned on Robert Griffin III, according to the Washington Post.

During his radio show on Wednesday, McNabb said of the team's decision to sideline Griffin for the rest of the season "this is about Mike Shanahan. Mike and Kyle Shanahan trying to show why they feel like Kirk Cousins gives them the best chance of winning. So many things have leaked, and I've always kept my ear on things that are happening with the Washington Redskins, teams that I've played with. And when you hear reporters I know are linked to Mike Shanahan talk about RGIII's preparation...I knew he was big on having Kirk Cousins get out there and run the offense."

McNabb later added of the coach and quarterback's fractured relationship "I think that the locker room has turned their back on RGIII, and now you've solidified it."

McNabb's disdain for Shanahan dates back to when he was a Redskins quarterback and the coach moved to bench him as well.

"I was benched for Rex Grossman," he said. "And Shanahan came out and said he gave the team the best chance of winning. Well, Rex Grossman finished the season 1-2 or 1-3. I mean, that didn't help nothing. And so, the whole thing about it is, sometimes you have to look in the mirror and look at yourself. Stop looking at everybody else. I don't think that he and Kyle Shanahan can do that. And I say that because they feel like what calling should be ran effectively."

As for RGIII's offseason knee surgery, McNabb added "yeah, I understand this kid has been banged up. He's coming off of ACL injury. I've had ACL/MCL injury. But you wait 13, 14 weeks in the season to say, 'I want him to be healthy going into the offseason?' You might not even be there in the offseason."
