I don't think it can be assumed that Scott is all hung-ho to get Griffin off the team and Snyder is alone in wanting him on the team.

Scott inherited both Gruden and Griffin. I'm sure at this point its clear that Griffin isn't the best QB on this team to run J's offense and also clear that J isn't keen on catering his offense or continuing to develop Griffin.

But, I'm sure Scott is also evaluating J. Maybe J will prove to be right and Kirk makes a leap from last year when he wasn't able to hold on to the job. Kirk stepping up is what is best for the franchise.

But what if J's wrong? And Kirk can't hold it down?

Then Scott would have shipped off Griffin only to watch plan A fail. I'm guessing the idea behind keeping Griffin is similar to the reason Kirk was drafted in the 1st place. To hedge. Now, I'm not sure how the mechanics/logistics work out keeping Griffin on the team but I bet that is where the thought process is on the members of the FO that want to keep Griffin.

I agree that Gruden is being evaluated but I believe SM has already evaluated Griffin. Moving to Cousins takes Grudens excuse away.

If Cousins and Gruden don't succeed, I believe we aren't going back to Griffin but instead looking to next year's draft. SM inherited all these guys and he has been giving each one some rope. We will see if any of these guys know how to use it to survive and not make a noose.
