Well the stats I posted are specifically in response to this article: How to make Robert Griffin III a pocket passer - Washington Redskins Blog - ESPN

Where Kiem brought up the topic of 'time in the pocket' and the stats I posted are a realistic comparison in that specific area of production based on time in the pocket.

Another huge factor the stats do not show is Gruden did not run the same plays for all three QB's.

I agree that there are a multitude of factors that come into play (for any stats) including the time in the pocket stats. And yeah I agree that the playcalling for the different QBs impacted their performance (and that's a whole 'nother ball of wax).

However this......

I remember even Griffen complaining very loudly on the sideline to Coach Gruden after he was replaced for Cousin, saying 'why didn't you call those plays for me when I was in?'

When did this happen? Could you post a source or link or report or something?
I'm not saying it didn't but I follow the skins closely and we all know that Griffin is under a huge national microscope where everything that is said or tweeted is on NFL Network how, if true, would something like this go unnoticed or unreported?

Clearly RGIII was being protected from himself and his inability to absorb and play the entire playbook. Gruden called a more simplified version of the playbook for Griffen because he could not handle it. Cousins was asked to do a lot more....

I can occasion pass a few of my opinions or thoughts off as accepted fact but aren't you taking a quite a few large leaps here?

Jay Gruden himself commented that Griffin knows the playbook but that he [Jay] was still searching for a gameplan that fit him [Griffin]. I don't think its fair or accurate to say or even guess at 'thee' reason why Jay called plays a certain way and its easily arguably as to whether his playacting/gameplan was right/wrong.
You can assign blame where you want.

Cousins and Colt are obviously more comfortable in playing in Jay's style of West Coast passing game (rhythm drop back progression timing based offense). Colt played in a pure WCO with the Browns and Kirk played in a 'pro-style' rhythm timing offense at Michigan State. So it should be no surprise that they were more comfortable more quickly in Jay's offense. However; what's missing is the accompany delta in production from Kirk. Based on comfort in the offense both should have a more evident separation in production but its only really evident with Colt in the over 2.5s time in pocket category.
