As to the misinformation surrounding Griffin's personality or maybe character, it could be that he's kind of aloof, which can be mistaken for arrogance but I think it's probably more that he's just dealing w/ the "big stage" in his own way.

Like I've said before I think his personallity is a lot more like that of Drew Brees and Kurt Warner. Both of those guys talked seemed to talk about themselves a good bit and I see a little of that in RG3. Trust me pretty soon theres going to be a little doubt about Griffins ability in which case he will tell us a million times how confident he is in himself just like Brees and Warner did when there were doubts about them.

I see a bit of the Brees/Warner likeness as well. Anytime someone works to be great at something like an organized sport there's a certain amount of self-involvement that becomes inevitable, which is different than selfishness I think.

But I was talking about style of play regarding McNair, which I think will be limited in similarity. McNair was a hulk of a QB who extended plays w/ sheer strength and power. Griffin doesn't have that kind of bulk/strength and will have to extend plays w/ his quickness, speed and hopefully good vision. Also, I think Griffin is more accurate already, but we're waiting to see if he can adjust to the speed of pro ball.
