    Donovan McNabb said last week on "ESPN First Take" that Robert Griffin III wouldn't be a good fit with Mike Shanahan. The Washington Redskins coach, given a chance to respond, told The Washington Post that he was taking "the high road."

    "I'd like to let the statistics speak for themselves," Shanahan told the newspaper. "I think I can take the high road."

    During an "ESPN First Take" appearance last Thursday, McNabb was asked whether Shanahan is a good fit for the Baylor quarterback known as RG3.

    "No," McNabb replied. "I say that because a lot of times ego gets too involved when it comes to being in Washington."

    He played for Shanahan in Washington in 2010, when the Redskins went 6-10, the QB was benched twice, and there were testy exchanges involving McNabb's agent and the team. He was traded to the Minnesota Vikings in 2011 and went 1-5 as a starter last season before being waived.

    "I was misused. Absolutely," McNabb said of his time under Shanahan.
