With a player of his potential playing in a west coast style of offense, Griffin III should do well. The fact that Mike Shanahan saw enough of him in rookie mini camp to name him the starting quarterback was going to happen eventually, but I expected Shanahan to name Griffin III the starter sometime during the preseason. I really thought Grossman would start the season at QB and eventually Griffin III would soon start sort of like what the Giants did with Eli Manning in 2004. But he's the starting quarterback now and it's good that he's learning the playbook quickly and gaining valuable experience in running the plays with the veterans at this early juncture.
