I have a lot of respect for Scott and I have a hard time believing that Scott would allow people to know how he feels about Griffin one way or another. I doubt Scott will ever wittingly be the source of a leak.

All I know are Scott's public comments about not giving up on Griffin:



And as it turns out Jay has done exactly what Scott said he didn't want to do: give up on Griffin.

That was SM's comments when he first got the job. That was BEFORE ota's, minicamp, training camp and the pre season games. He looked at what he saw and agreed with Gruden to bench him for good. What else is there to discuss?

This. He had plenty of time to judge him up close. Obviously he didn't develop like they had hoped.

Seriously, 30....why are you still talking griffin? It's over. This is the titanic, and your playing the violin.
No one is listening to you.
Your like the commercials during a game that was dvr'd.

I don't want to be Debbie Downer, but this is the redskins we are talking about.

For all we know, Gruden could get fired and the next HC could inherit Griffin, who he ends up starting....stranger things than that have happened here....

That's fair. And the conversation, I'm sure, would be revisited at that point. But talking about our inactive, 3rd string qb is like talking about not finishing up that one time I got an escort. It was fun when it was going on, but there's no...uhh...end.

Or maybe Scott isn't going to intefere with a coach that wants to play 'their' guy? Maybe Scott isn't going to evaluate a HC with a QB that is forced on them?

And a few quick points of fact. During ota's, minicamp and training camp it was all positive rhetoric about Griffin. Even through the first pre-season game their was talk of progress. Then it went away in 8 pre-season drop backs against the #3 def with a 3rd string LT starting (no out of the league btw), a concussion and a mediocre preseason game (gameplanned for) against the Ravens.

Yeah, I don't think Scott goes from not wanting to give up on Griffin to wanting to give up on him that quickly and flimsily. That's just me.

And very similar to Gruden's when he first took the job. As SS has said, I think talent evaluators are shocked when they get here and actually watch Griffin up close. The sad thing for us that we didn't have real talent evaluators before we drafted him. I for one am not an evaluator, and I watched his tape and loved him. I think that's what DS and BA did in 2012 as well. Can we move on now.
