He made his choice. London was right that Gruden was brought in to develop Griffin. Much was written about this at the time. He decided that he couldn't do it and needed a pocket passer for HIS system.
That's fine, but now it's time to show results or he will get canned. It's the bottom line, really.
Shanny took shots at Gruden for not adapting and working towards robert's strength, R/O. That's fine if he refused but now it's down to he better succeed with cousins/McCoy this year or he's out.

Have you been paying attention to the last two and a half years?
1. RG3 vetoed the read option. 2. He isn't a pocket passer.
There isn't another way to be a QB in the NFL.
So Gruden better succeed with the QB's that he and the current GM inherited or else eh?
Really? That's the standard? He made a choice between RG3, Krik, and Colt.
In a perfect world, Gruden's choice should have been Luck, but since he had to pick from the three QB's we have Kirk is the guy.
Why not be more like the Steelers and build a team and an identity instead. How many coaches have they had in the last 30 years?
Based on reports mclovin and jay have similar philosophies. No idea if this is accurate or media fluff.
There are legit knocks on Gruden. Lack of QB coach. Lack of media savvy. Etc. . .
Not turning a steaming pile of dog crap into a shiny pile of gold isn't a legit criticism.
