Griffin's chance to "prove" himself was in 2014 when a Jay became HC. And that chance amounted to 5 games. Then Griffin was benched.
The "offense" that you say was abolished is very much alive and well in the #1Panthers, #5 Seattle, #9 KC, #12 Bills and more teams then ever show read-option or zone-read looks.
If your intent is to have an actual discussion its impossible to have a discussion based on hyperbole. When you say Griffin can't read defenses its obviously an exaggeration. And pointing to a preseason game, even if you think it was bad is an odd referendum against a players entire body of work. I could post breakdowns from various sources that would say that the OL gave him no chance that game. But, I know it will only push us further down the rabbit and I'm the 'bad guy' because I don't agree that Griffin "God awful in every aspect of NFL quarterbacking".

His play in 2013 was not good. Not good at all. What stats will never tell you is that when Griff checked down and threw a short pass that went for 11 that there was a wide open guy streaking down the middle of the field who would have scored. All you see three years later is a completion for 11 yards. That kind of shit happened all the time. J knew it. Thats why Griff lost his job. You know it too because u watched the games (i think). There is just no way you come out and say it now. You are too stubborn. Lol. If Griff had a "productive" year in 2013 as you put it than Cousins just had a hall of fame year......
