So I think Gryphon should run in an intentional way more than most other QB's.

However, I agree with you about the specter of injury. So if Gryphon runs just enough to establish the threat and keep defenses honest, that will be good enough for me.

Agree 100%. He have to make sure DF's are aware of the threat that's the only way they will stay honest. He's FAST.
