I think it's too early to say Griffin can't develop his game from the pocket. It's vital for his and the team's long term success to keep developing him.
Patience.

Its just painful to watch ths team right now. They were so good with less personel in 2012. Griffin looks lost and his scrambling is not really that good right now. He looks slow to me. In the few times that they have shown the read-option this year, he has always handed it off and never kept it. Morris got absolutely blowup last week by 3 guys in the backfield on one occasion. Had Griffin kept it, he would have been wide open for 10 yards. Teams know he doesn't want to run, so they just key on Morris or back off and let him pass. Misdirection is why they were good, The Redskins don't have any misdierection now. Griffin is no threat to run and he is not Drew Brees from the pocket, so where does that leave this team? The Redskins have a Ferrari that they are scared to drive too fast because they might wreck it. If they are only going to drive it at 50 miles per hour, trade it in for a Honda. Otherwise, they paid too much.
