This shows that the staff is learning from last year. Jay and McVay's frustration with Griffin early in training camp last was a sign to me that trouble lurked. First, I was taken aback that after all the off record talk Shanny was involved in I didn't expect the new regime to be involved with off the record negativity regarding Griffin. Second, I consider being frustrated with developing a young QB par for the course of being a coach thus whining about it off the record to the media imho was a sign of immaturity and a sign of being overwhelmed with the numerous hats of a rookie HC with a rookie OC and no QB coach.
The coaches adapting is great news to hear and I wish it would have happened last year but I'm glad its happening this year. I also love the fact that we not only hired a QB coach but hired one as accomplished as Cavanaugh, who arguably is as accomplished an OC as Jay, a SB winning OC.
The article has lots of good insight that lends towards optimism, especially for someone like me who sees Griffin's success as linked towards Jay's growth as a HC and it appears there are signs pointing in the right direction from a coaching stand point. Now, I know this will make some uncomfortable but hopefully all the rhetoric and changes we've been hearing about the offensive philosophy is true and can help build Jay's level of faith and support for Griffin. Time will tell and even though its only week 1 of training camp...so far so good.

What I like about the article is Kiem doesn't usually sugar coat things, if he seeing good things then the coaches are and if nothing else they will know if they want to win they have to go with the best option to do so on the roster. To me RG III is it, we all know what we will get with Cousins and McCoy. Ints with the first and no long ball with the latter.
Establish a running game and get him moving and he should be successful.
