I think Mike S. was just applauding Griffiin's skillset.
Griffin has the speed to really challenge defenses on the perimeter which can be done through Mike S. offense without running the option.

I did get a different impression, and it could just be Mike's standard presser subterfuge, but when he was talking about Griff being able to run the option as well as guys like Cam, and Tebow, who both had success respectively, running the option at this level, it lead me in another direction.
I hear what you're saying though, and agree that MS was also doting over all of RG3s athletic ability, and intelligence.
I also agree with the fact that RG3s speed can really threaten defenses on the perimeter within the parameters of the system, but I believe that there is an antidote to most offensive attacks, it's just not every defense that can execute it effectively. So the thing that concerns me is running much of the same (play action bootleg, stretch right, stretch left) without again becoming predictable, and redundant. I do think adding option looks could only bode well if we want to keep defenses off balance, pull more defenders into the box etc.
I'm talking simple folds, like shotgun zone read option. Things that wouldn't stray so far from our current system, but would cause defenses to question what they were seeing.
