Holy crap where has that guy gone?? On those dropbacks he looks so comfortable,he's sliding away from pressure,he just looks like a totally different qb then he does now.His mechanics and instincts now look like shit compared to then

Deserve doesn't have much to do with it if he breaks.

Shanahan had his issues including his ego for player personnel especially on defense side of ball. The guy had no clue about building a defense despite wanting the power.

Having said that, he deserves credit for knowing what it would take to have RG3 succeed; the R/O.

He's right to blast both Gruden and Griffin. If either of these two want to salvage their nfl careers, they should welcome the R/O with open arms. Refusing to play to the strengths of the player will cost Gruden his job and most likely make RG3 another Vince young

^^^^Do you realize that video is from 2013?

SMH even when shown video of Griffin actually running R/O the perception that he won't/refuses/doesn't want to....persists.

Why people choose to believe Mike S revisionist history is beyond me.

Good point on that being from 2013 but doesnt change the fact that he's still not that good,looks like he's regressed from 2013.
I dont think its revisionist history on Mike S.In that training camp and all off season the talk was on Griff becoming more of a pocket passer,yes he still ran the read option that yr but not near as much.I dont think anyones ever said they didnt run it anymore,if they did they dont know what theyre talking about.

Oh, I agree but that wasn't the point I was responding to with that video.
I was responding to the narrative become fact that Griffin refused to run read-option in 2013.
Which as per the video obviously isn't true.

There is rhetoric and there is proof. Every QB wants to become more of a pocket passer but its a far cry to say that Griffin refused/refuses to run read-option when in fact he did actually run read-option.

And plenty of people have said and continue to say that Griffin refuses to and doesn't want to run read-option.

I dont know if people have said he refuses to,but its no secret that he doesnt want to.Him and his dad made that clear going into the 2013 season,hence thats what Shanny was eluding to in his interview.
As far as pocket presence goes,I've been complaining about it since 2013,its obvious he doesnt have it.It was on numerous scouting reports coming out of college{which I have posted before}
The pistol def helped mask that in 2012 and it wasnt an issue.Once the pistol started to be phased out and the knee injury took away his athleticism and confidence it became very apparent his pocket presence was for shit
