Jay Gruden's prayers may have been answered (RG3 hurt)

Griffin is that bad. I warned everyone that the Shanny's were running the Baylor offense in year 1 to help transition Griffin and everyone overreacted to it. He's been terrible when asked to play the position like you have to in the NFL.

This is something I don't get.  Running one type of offense with players yields a playoff berth.  Running another type leads to crap.  Why hire idiots jamming round pegs into square holes?  Isn't the goal of a coach to win?  ...and not simply to run a particular style of system and maybe win as a side effect?

Well shit I was fooled. But not so much by his play but by his attitude. The son of two military sergeants I thought he was a combination of brains, hard work and athleticism. But part of his downfall has been his attitude.

I think RG3 could still be doing pretty well if he didn't stubbornly insist on becoming a pocket QB so quickly. He did not want to be associated with "running quarterbacks."

How legit is this guy?  

Two people familiar with these matters insist no decision has been made on Cousins earning Week 1 start. Griffin is still the plan.

not sure but I've never heard of him. Albert B is reporting no decision at this point.

this isn't college

Right.  Nor is it HS or peewee or whatever.  But some players can drastically improve a team if they play to their strengths rather than how a coach wants a generic player to perform.  If you don't have time to reply with a thoughtful answer, I'd prefer you to skip this until you do.
