This analogy shows you have very little understanding of how good the 2012 season was. If that offense is a band-aid its a band-aid that every single team in the NFL wish they could be doing.

In 2012 he did not have to stand in the pocket. Not sure where the confusion lies? Pocket passer vs read option?
Im not contradicting myself. I dont believe he had pocket presence (you said he had it before). I simply said his inability to play from the pocket was not an issue because he didnt really play from the pocket than. His inability to play from the pocket was masked by the play calling.
The Shanahans were catering to his strengths. One of those strengths was not pocket presence.
Edit: as for my band aid comment, i meant that in a long term way. As in the band aid being the read option and the flesh wound being Griffs inability to be a pocket passer. Of course the 2012 season was a great offense, but we all have seen what happened when the band aid came off. Griff got hurt and almost killed several times playing in that offense. We knew it wouldnt last, and here we are.
