Not sure what you mean here with several chances to prove himself. Griffin had 2 productive years with Shanahan. Some like to say his 2013 was bad but that's not the reality, but again damn the stats right? And for the sake of comparison in 2013 Kirk was terrible.

Griffin's chance to "prove" himself was in 2014 when a Jay became HC. And that chance amounted to 5 games. Then Griffin was benched.

The "offense" that you say was abolished is very much alive and well in the #1Panthers, #5 Seattle, #9 KC, #12 Bills and more teams then ever show read-option or zone-read looks.

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.

If your intent is to have an actual discussion its impossible to have a discussion based on hyperbole. When you say Griffin can't read defenses its obviously an exaggeration. And pointing to a preseason game, even if you think it was bad is an odd referendum against a players entire body of work. I could post breakdowns from various sources that would say that the OL gave him no chance that game. But, I know it will only push us further down the rabbit and I'm the 'bad guy' because I don't agree that Griffin "God awful in every aspect of NFL quarterbacking".

Do you believe that he can really thrive in this league somewhere else

I don't agree that he can't do the above.
