First of all its not a fact that Jay wanted to start Kirk last year. Let's get that straight before we have this discussion. A fact like that requires proof.

So you can't prove that Dan meddles based on a fiction that you invent.

Now with that cleared up let's discuss what actually was reported last year during training camp. Chris Russell reported that Jay and McVay were frustrated and impatient with Griffin early during camp. Now, let's stop and think about that for a second. A HC was hired and I'm sure one of the expressed or implied task was to develop the franchises most important asset: Griffin, a potential franchise QB. If Jay was already frustrated at that start of training camp I have 2 issues with that:
- i would be troubled that in the light of all of the media leaks from the previous HC that Jay already failed to keep team business in house
-second I could give a rats ass that Jay felt frustrated, he's not the first coach to frustrated with a QB and certainly won't be the last. He's the head guy for a reason and being able to coach and manage players, especially the QB is his job. And maybe he wouldn't be frustrated so quickly if he hired a complete coaching staff that included a QB coach and a more experienced OC

So for me Jays early impatience and frustration aren't dings against Griffin; in my eyes their dings against Jay.

And IF your previous fiction was true and Jay did want to start Kirk then it would be no surprise that Griffin struggled. I'm mean do you think a player can have success with HC-playcaller that doesn't believe in them/want them as a starter? And further IF Jay did want to start Kirk over Griffin then it would make me question the pretenses under which he was hired if he is ready to move on from one of his biggest tasks so quickly.
