How easy is a guy that has all those limitations to defend?
Our defense looked great against the same type of qb with a better skill set in the 49ers game.
The measuring stick should be our defense. If we can defend it, it sucks. The Seattle game is a bit of an outlier but our d kept us in the game. If our olbs were strict on their responsibilities we would have been good that game.
Luck made the same defense in the very next week look like the worst in the league because he isn't a one trick pony who runs plays with a single read.
What about Griffin has given anybody the notion he can develop into a pocket passer?
The best running qb right now is Wilson and he has an awesome line. Seattle isn't even a top 10 offense. Does that means defenses have adjusted to the running qb? Idk. There is a strong argument though, that if Griffin matches Wilson's abilities we still aren't going to be as effective as an more traditional offense with a qb who can pick apart an offense.
The NFL has changed, it isn't 2012. A qb that can progress through reads and make changes preplay has a higher ceiling than one who doesnt.
On a tangent, Griffin doesn't have that intangible slickness to keep himself alive like Wilson.
I would love to be wrong on this.

You are not though. The NFL has changed since 2012. Kap and Wilson are also unable to do what they did than. Griff is soooooo far away from being able to adjust to the game.
