Even Cooley admits that Griffin can read defenses. I could post breakdowns from Griffin going through his progressions from 2014. Obviously its an exaggeration.

Does Griffin hold the ball too long? Absolutely. Did he take more sacks? Yup.
Not all QBs have a quick throw style. Rothlisberher, Cam, Russell, Rodgers all hold the ball. And learning a pure rhythm drop back passing offense is going to have ups and downs, there will be sacks.

The selectivity in Griffin's production comes from the perception of his 2014 "season". He had 2 bad games before being benched. Go back and look if you doubt it.

if you watch his tape and think he's a great player (2013-2014-2015), then that really brings into question your credibility regarding anything football related.

Yet, you know I haven't said he's a great player based off 2013-2014.

...he decided he didn't want to do the thing he was good at (zone read) and the result speak for themselves.

Ultimately this is where the Griffin discussions ends up. And I find it odd how this narrative has been accepted as fact. The 1st point of fact is that Griffin did indeed execute read-option in 2013. Also the notion that Mike Shanahan, total control Mike Shanahan was dictated to in terms of offense by Griffin I find very, very amusing.

His 1st year without read-option was with Jay Gruden in 2014, and he was given 5 games before being benched. Griffin's 2014 stats aren't the horrow show most claim, Kirk the much more experienced rhythm drop back passer had as many bad games (or worse) then Griffin. Jay chose to develop Kirk over Griffin, and thankfully that decision worked out.
