How does Griffin being gone make the team better?

You can't just think about "on the field" in terms of a player on your roster. When Tony Dungy was asked about having Michael Sam on his team, he flat out said he wouldn't draft him b/c the talent wasn't worth the distraction. Just imagine the first time Kirk has a bad game. What do you think the fans are going to do? Chant RG3. What do you think the media is going to do? Question who should be the starter....and so forth. What do you think his answers are going to be when asked if he should be the starter? You trust Griffin with the media?....lol

His talent in this system isn't worth the distraction quite honesty.

So ultimately Griffin being off this team makes it a better team in the locker room and from a PR standpoint. From a "on the field" standpoint, it really doesn't affect us whether he's on the squad or off of it. All this is purely disregarding the 16 mil as well.
