Top 10 reasons why Mike Shanahan benched Donovan McNabb for Rex Grossman

The NFL is abuzz with the White Rat's bizarre decision to create a QB controversy in the middle of his team's cringe-inducing road loss to the Lions. As always, FTT is here to give you the real reasons behind the move.

10) Wanted to give McNabb's Hall of Fame detractors a single line dismissal of his career

9) Really loves Kissing Suzy Kolbert's use of Rexy as a character, and knew there was only one way to get him back in play

8) It's not as if McNabb deserves more job security than Jake Plummer, Bubby Brister or Jay Cutler

7) Ensured that Jason Campbell spends the next week with the biggest grin you ever did see on his face

6) Felt that the team needed the kind of spark that only a turnover-prone journeyman washout could provide

5) You can take the coach out of the AFC West, but you can't take the AFC West out of the coach

4) Has bought into the idea that McNabb, rather than the running back carousel, sub-standard WRs, turnstile offensive line or sieve-like pass defense against Lions WR Calvin Johnson, is the real problem

3) Is already planning for 2011, when the aging roster and his own trashed reputation makes him the latest Joe Gibbs-like flameout that proves to Redskin Fan that owner Daniel Snyder can ruin anything and everyone

2) Didn't want to go into the bye week without a good old-fashioned DC sports media meltdown

1) He's an old man who is off his meds... and those meds include inhalants, narcotics, alcohol and hallucinogens
