RG3 and Gruden?

Yeah Cousins sure did great anticipating where the defenders would be when he threw the ball into their hands.

Again, if Gruden is a decent Coach, he'll be able to adjust his offense to play to Griffin's strengths and minimize the weaknesses

If you look at the QB play this year, who ran the offense the best? Who hit more big plays? When was the offense the most explosive? Hands down it was when KC was in there. Now the turnovers kill the team and they lose games. But he also threw a lot of TD's and moved the team. The WR's, which is suppose to be the strength of the team, were more involved. KC needs more coaching and playing time. That's painfully obvious. Is he mentally tough enough? Can he shake the turnovers? That remains to be seen. But he's shown enough that he deserves to be given the chance to compete for the job.

Meanwhile, Griffin in his 5 games hasn't really shown anything. No progress at all. Even jello arm McCoy has AT LEAST shown something. The RG3 hype, the "he needs a special offense" talk, it's old.

Cousins kills the team, that's the problem, who cares if the team moves if it turns over the ball constantly (the only team he beat was the Jaguars, any of the three of them would have beaten the Jaguars).

McCoy would be fine if he were healthy, but he's not.

That leaves Griffin

Here's the thing with 2012....
1. Defenses figured out the gimmicky scheme.
2. It was 2 years ago, and griffin is a shell of what he was that year.
I believe in letting gruden put in whoever he wants seeing that he's the coach. It's his team. Like it or not. Griffin has been terrible for 66% of his info career. I love 2012...but its the past. I don't know who is the answer to this whole debacle. They may not even be on our team yet. And to be honest, I've never seen this much divide amongst fans of the same team. Its a f&!:ing shame. A once glories franchise now has its own fans at each others necks about a first year head coach and a heisman bust.
I do NOT think gruden should have to rewrite his playbook to suit Griffin. If that was the case they should have hired a running back coach for his positio .

Totes. Shame on Bill Belichick for caving into players and completely reshaping his scheme/playcalling to perfectly fit their skillset. Just terrible, terrible coaching. What's he thinking?!

So are you comparing belichik and gruden? Or griffin and Brady? Either way your view parallels griffin. You can take that however you want. We are not New England though. Examples can be given in Snarkey tones, but I still think if they wanted a coach to run the offense griffin way, they should have hired one. They didn't. They hired gruden...knowing the type of scheme he was bringing and what direction he wanted to take it. Playi g to a players strengths is one thing. Throwing your playbook away and rewriting your offense because your quarterback can't see his recievers is another thing all together.

What's the "Griffin way" in terms of coaching?

A good coach adjusts the scheme and playcalls to maximize the skillset of his players, period. If you don't get it I don't know what else to say...

I'm not sure what the griffin way is. You are the one arguing for it. I understand what adjusting is. Thanks for explaining. I can agree that adjusting to a players strengths is a good skillset for a coach to have. But rewriting an offense for 1 player is ridiculous. Again...there's a difference. If you don't get that, then I also don't know what else to say.

I'm not saying any of them should be given the job. None of them have seperated themselves. What I'm saying is there needs to be competition in 2015. Griffin should not be given the job.

I don't disagree with that, but for the here and now we need to adjust to RG3's playstyle

Save the other stuff for the offseason
