BUTits not going (knowing this staff 'should not' is probably more accurate) to stem from his play in the Lions game. Using the Lions game as referendum on Griffin is the popular groupthink overreaction. But to me it appears to be based more on perception/emotion more then actual football. The general rush from some fans/media to point to this "game" as proof of their negative belief is imo clearly out of balance.
I mean seriously, a referendum after 5 pass attempts? Never mind the game situations ( Kurt Warner diagnoses why Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III is struggling - NFL Videos) but 5 passes and Griffin is done? C'mon, lets be serious. |
Good point.
It's definitely knee-jerk time right now. I still say the Detroit game was mostly on the OL and it's hard to take much real value from it. Yes the fumbles are 100% on him, but when you're getting hit repeatedly in 3 seconds or less, that's the OL's problem.
