Quick poll....Will Griffin survive the cut to 53 if he is cleared??

[Stymietee]

I just want to take the pulse of SportsHoopla nation to see if there is a majority view on this question.

 

[martinez]

Yes, but I'm not sure I want him to

 

[kbso83432]

My best guess is yes. I think they stash him all year as a 3rd QB inactive. I think Snyder is giving Gruden the rope to hang himself with. He'll let this thing play out this year with Gruden, Cousins, and McCoy and if it works, they release RG after the year.

If it blows up in Gruden's face, Gruden and Cousins get run, Scot goes to RG and ask him if he is willing to run an offense that is similar to the one he ran in 2012. If Griffin compiles they go find a coach to do that. If not, they cut Griffin and draft a QB.

That is just a guess. They could cut Griffin tonight or tomorrow.

 

[Breed]

I hope not.

 

[Sportster 72]

I think he makes the cut to 53 not sure he makes the cut to 3.

 

[skinsdad62]

they should cut ties with him whether gruden is your guy or not . nothing to be gained keeping him

 

[Stymietee]

This will be DC's makeup test, SM stated that you don't give up on a young talented QB, but the question then becomes what to do with him, especially one that has never learned to be the type of signal caller that you require?

Keeping him in light of what it cost to get him requires answers to two other questions:
1.Can he learn?
2. How long will that teaching process take?

If he's kept, here's what's going to happen (not necessarily in order.....but close)

The team and Griffin renegotiates his contract that reflects his status as a backup (16 million injury...gone)
He's an inactive during the season but undergoes an intensive retraining program.
He learns....he stays, he doesn't he goes.

They keep him until they can work a trade or the trade deadline Passes. Then they cut him.

He got the same thing Shuler got which was three years but he got a lot more playing time than Shuler.

The kid was in a tough position from the beginning. The team gave up so much to get him that the press was all over his every move. The teams success in his rookie year just increased the attention. The injury, his relationship with Shanahan and his own penchant for talking too much ramped up the attention even more. We live in a society now that loves to build us up only to tear us down. Sports is littered with these type of people.

Just my opinion but at this point I think it would be better for Robert and the Redskins to part ways. I hope he goes on to have a 10-12 year career which Shuler never got due to injury and ineffectiveness.

I'm still not sure which brings more satisfaction to the general public.......a great success story, or, a great fall. Sad.

 

[JonBlaze]

I voted No, but meant Yes. I think they hold him, see how QB injuries play out during the year and maybe some team comes calling in a trade. He's gone at some point though

That's how I felt all along too. Hell I'm still questioning if he ever had a concussion, seemed like a pretty convenient way to demote him. Only in Washington does a player pass, then fail the test.

I am not sure either Sty. Our media and I believe ESPN took the lead on this loves to build people up just to tear them down. Funny thing about 24 hour sports coverage whether it is ESPN or your local yokel coverage. When it first came about I was ecstatic. WOW, sports all day. Boy was I wrong.

 

[skinsdad62]

well the press is all against keeping him then i got to thinking

why not keep him ? perhaps a trade could be worked out ?

perhaps sitting and learning from the bench could be just the medicine he needs to get working again

Didn't do a damn thing for him last year. The only thing that's changed this year from last year is. Now he waits longer periods of time before he says stupid ass shit.

There is a huge difference between this year and all previous years since 2012. In those years he was the anointed starter and for many savior of this franchise. It is extremely likely that this demotion, and make no mistake that is exactly what it is, will be tonic for an ego that has been hyper-inflated from the moment he was drafted.

Did you mean tonic as in toxic? Cuz something needs to kill that ego of his or at least put it in severe check.

Nope......tonic used as a synonym for cure.

 

[Breed]

Yeah, that's what I thought. If his shitty play last year as well as this preseason wasn't enough to bring about an attitude adjustment. I doubt being benched will have much of an effect. Besides, his ego, probably his wife, damn sure his daddy and his yes-man crew, if he has one, will probably continue to tell he's the shit.

Interesting...
