Im trying to understand your post. I mean I get the first part, u really like Griff and think he can still play etc, but what is the anti Griff bias? It comes across like he has been unfairly treated and hated on for no reason? I can only speak for myself, but I think alot of others view it similarly. He was great - outstanding - the future in 2012 and everyone loved him. He got hurt. He came back - maybe too soon. He than had SEVERAL chances to prove himself over the better part of two years and it became painfully obvious that he was only great in an offense that was quickly abolished by defenses around the league catching on and shutting it down. See Kaep and Russel Wilson. Only Wilson proved that he too could adapt like defenses did and still be a top qb in this league. Kaep not so much. Griff not at all. Griffs inability to adapt culminated in the preseason game against Detroit when he was just God awful in every aspect of NFL quarterbacking. All the things Schneed just mentioned. So... What is the "bias" you are referring to? Unless it is bias against quarterbacks that cannot play the position?
Do you believe that he can really thrive in this league somewhere else without being able to read blitzes, get rid of the ball, see the field, etc etc?
Edit: want to add that I cannot imagine there is a single true Skins fan that did not want Griff to be RG-3 again and see him succeed for obvious reasons. Especially before we knew what we had in Cousins. It is sad what happened to Griff. Im not the only one with his jersey growing old in my closet. Why on earth would it be personal, or wished for, or welcomed? We are extremely lucky we have KC because if we didnt this franchise would have been up the creek to Hell after Griffs fall from grace.
