The way some people think around here, and in real life (McNabb) you'd think he's doomed before he even takes the field. I mean really, a couple of you guys really think Shanahan is going to hold him back? You think they paid the price they paid to get him, only to try and force him into something he might not understand?

Same thing with Luck. I know we all want Griffin at this point, but is there anybody out there that can't see the difference between a guy like Griffin, or Luck, and guys like McNabb/Beck/Grossman? This will honestly be the first elite qb prospect we've had in a long time, and you can't judge the future by what they've done in the past with lesser talent. It's not the same situation, point blank.

I simply don't trust MS or KS. Are they going to put in some spread concepts? Not the entire offense but some of it has to be what he's done and exceled at in college. Are they willing to do what Mike McCoy did in Denver? We'll see, but like I said, I don't trust them.

I don't think we're going to start running the spread permanently, but I think the Shannies will ease him along at the pace he's comfortable at. If the article is true and Griffin is one of those guys who only needs to practice something once before he learns it permanently it could greatly speed up his development. Plus Griffin will have a hell of a longer leash than McNabb did. I think in the brief period where McNabb was starter, the Shannies saw enough to know it wasn't going to work out long term. If Griffin gets off to a slow start, I think the Shannies will do what it takes to ease the transition better.
