Rolls eyes.



I call BS. It's all moot b/c I have long believed this marriage is gonna end soon.



But this narrative doesn't past the smell test. Griffin's 'lack of pocket presence' doesn't appear to be a cause of his struggles rather a symptom of his struggles with the offense.



No one every pointed to Griffin's pocket presence as an issue until he started struggling with the offense.



So my response to this latest narrative is (if you're gonna bench the kid just do it, let's end this bizzare spectacle where we pretend the HC supports Griffin.) My response is that Griffin had pocket presence and so IF he has lost it can be regained.

But pocket presence was not a big issue when he was running all over the place making people look silly. However as many people pointed out at the time (i was not one of them and not claiming to be one) he was going to get injured time and time again playing like that. It was only a matter of time before he had to adapt - and he does not have the natural ability or "talent" to do so. Sad but very very true. In response to your point about Griff having had the pocket presence in 2012. I dont believe he did. I believe though that it was masked by the playcalling. But that was like putting a band aid on a severe flesh wound.
