While Cousins was benched in 2014 he hired his own QB coach during the season. Who does that? Never seen anyone do that during an actual season. Cousins was determined to get better.
Not sure what Griffin was doing all year long, but I know he wasn't going to the lengths that Cousins was. Not saying that this is wrong by Griffin. I just get the feeling with him that he probably thinks nothing was ever his fault.
He was outplayed the last TWO pre seasons by Cousins and that's why he lost the job for good.
Griffin can probably still run pretty fast and throw it far. He might look good at the combine and pro days. But when the rush is actually coming at him, and he has to drop back 5 - 7 steps, he's exposed. The instincts to play QB aren't there. So to me it doesn't matter what his physical skills are, his skill to actually play QB are not there.
