There seems to be a lot of speculation surrounding Griffin and his relationship with his teammates/coaches. I have heard former teammates and coaches say he has not learned the skills he needs to, but most have also said he has potential to be great in the NFL (Shanahan &Cooley). I don't think anyone can argue that he should be starting, and he may not be worth the risk of injury etc. But I haven't heard many football people say he is a lost cause.

I think he may be able to handle being 2nd string for a year without directly causing drama, and I think it is possible that SM and Gruden think his upside is worth the risk of injury.then again, they're probably just trying to trade him, but if he does stay I'll be rooting for him to be a good teammate and to develop the skills he needs to be successful.
