Just hoping we're better this year.

I think Griff's low ranking under pressure is from inexperience and lack of comfort in a rhytm drop back passing offense. To my eye it seemed Griffin was unsure at times. And I agree that pass protection played a role but many times Griff could have avoided pressure by knowing and going through his progressions with more urgency. I think Griff has a chance to improve his under pressure performance. Another year in the system coupled with the addition of a QB coach should help. Once Griffin gains an implicit understanding where and when to throw his accuracy numbers show that the ball will get there.
I'm sure everyone has their own thoughts on why Griff's under pressure ranking is low. Whatever the reason Griffin's ability to fix it will determine whether he's gonna be the guy.
