You raise an interesting question and i'm always down to discuss tangents, even if they aren't my topic. So I agree with you that Jay shouldn't call the same plays for Griffin as he does for Colt/Kirk.

There are several differences between those QBs and a smart OC/playcaller/gameplanner should mold their plans around a given QBs specific skillset. So sure there are some play concepts that are universal. But the plans should cater specifically to mobility, arm strength, ability to read the field, ability to consistently execute rhythm drop back passing concepts. Colt and Kirk are more experienced in a rhythm drop back passing game. Griffin has greater arm strength and mobility. To speak in general terms one would think a 'Griffin' gameplan would be similar to a Russell Wilson, Cam Newton, Alex Smith, Chip Kelly style gameplan and Kirk/Colt gameplan could be more traditional drop back WCO ala Andy Dalton or Ryan Fitzmagic etc.
