Point taken, but I dont think comparing Shaw to Harbs is fair...to SHAW. Btw, after wasting most of the season defending NUNES, do you think maybe hes realizing how asinine HES been?

To the contrary, I think this game showed how well Shaw has handled the QB situation. While we can't tell for sure, it seems that Hogan was not ready at the start of the season (he did not look good in the open practice I attended, for what little it's worth). Shaw did not want to have Nunes looking over his shoulder for 9 games while Hogan slowly improved, so he kept hogan as a "change of pace" until he was ready to take over in this game.

There is no evidence that Nottingham was a viable alternative to Nunes, so I don't see how Shaw could have handled this much better. Of course, we see such a small portion of what is going on that we will never really know.
