C'mon dude. You made a statement without qualifiers if you meant something different then you should have said. Anyhow, however you couch/parse your view of Griffin's ability to make plays scrambling we disagree. No need to go round in circles over it.

We agree that Griffin has the talent to turn it around; except I don't see it happening in this scheme with this coach.

...and i really don't buy that his problems are jay's fault for not believing in him. that just feels like an excuse. He's been around the NFL long enough, it's time to put up or shut up.

Okay. But player performance doesn't happen in a vacuum. And it's not just Jay's lack belief alone that contributed to Griffin struggles. I've never said that. Griffin faults are his own; however coaching does play a role. So Jay's lack of belief might seem insignificant to you but the QB-playcaller/HC relationship is vital to the QB development and success. How can a player develop when the person responsible for that development didn't want to do it from as early as week 1 preseason? Then you have Griffin throwing the least amount of passes preseason passes then any QB on the team...did that help Griffin's development? Lack of patience, lack of commitment to run game etc All those things I mentioned early as contributing to Griffin's struggles follow at least impart from Jay's lack of belief.
So sure this is Griffin's last chance here but his success or failure here is inextricably tied to Jay's growth as a HC/playcaller. And based on past history I wouldn't put my money on Jay-Griffin working out.
