you keep twisting posts into strawmen. no one's saying he's NEVER done anything good scrambling, just that he makes more bad plays then he should (especially the last 2 years post injury). he's obviously talented, just not consistent enough to be a reliable starter right now (the type that you're not looking to upgrade). It's definitely possible for him to turn it around, I just don't think it's the likely scenario.

and i really don't buy that his problems are jay's fault for not believing in him. that just feels like an excuse. He's been around the NFL long enough, it's time to put up or shut up.

I like the mention of the screen game... Something I don't think Gruden took advantage of enough last year. It helps build a QB's confidence and we've got WRs that can excel in it.

C'mon dude. You made a statement without qualifiers if you meant something different then you should have said. Anyhow, however you couch/parse your view of Griffin's ability to make plays scrambling we disagree. No need to go round in circles over it.

We agree that Griffin has the talent to turn it around; except I don't see it happening in this scheme with this coach.

Okay. But player performance doesn't happen in a vacuum. And it's not just Jay's lack belief alone that contributed to Griffin struggles. I've never said that. Griffin faults are his own; however coaching does play a role. So Jay's lack of belief might seem insignificant to you but the QB-playcaller/HC relationship is vital to the QB development and success. How can a player develop when the person responsible for that development didn't want to do it from as early as week 1 preseason? Then you have Griffin throwing the least amount of passes preseason passes then any QB on the team...did that help Griffin's development? Lack of patience, lack of commitment to run game etc All those things I mentioned early as contributing to Griffin's struggles follow at least impart from Jay's lack of belief.

So sure this is Griffin's last chance here but his success or failure here is inextricably tied to Jay's growth as a HC/playcaller. And based on past history I wouldn't put my money on Jay-Griffin working out.

you're kidding right? unless i specifically say griffin isn't total garbage, you'll just assume it if i say he has any kind of flaw in his game? come on. no one is right or wrong 100% of the time, including griffin. i don't think it's unreasonable to assume people understand that without adding legal disclaimers to every post.
