I'm gonna make a hugely strange unjustifiable comparison, and then try to make a case for it.
RG3 is suffering from Jerry Jones disease, and that's not good for us.
Jerry Jones came in, won his SB's with Jimmy Johnson early, and from that came to believe he knows best. The only time he humbled himself was when he needed to spark interest for the stadium.
Griffin came in lit it on fire, and who can forget his utterance to Alfmo about how we hadn't had a championship, and they did it in one year. I think that takes on a new light now, and probably adds to his difficulties in adapting, when he did it "his way" before.
Can he come out of the clouds, shift focus and get going the right way, I don't know, but i'm not super hopeful.

Kyle knew he couldn't do the dropback game and really never asked a lot of Griffin in the passing game. They were in win now mode and designed an offense for him. The blame lies in the organization for mortgaging the future for a project. That's obviously not on the coaches. True franchise QB's shouldn't need to be coached up on the basics/fundamentals.
Any of you remember Shuler? It's the same thing. Had he been able to run Kyle's offense of 2012, he probably has a couple of good years. But he had no drop back game compared to Gus.
Absolutely. It was interesting to listen to Trent Dilfer on The Sports Fix (ESPN 980) yesterday. He said Kyle was the best possible coach RG could have. He thought the 2012 O was a thing of genius and had he had the buy in from the QB to develop that O further RG would be a on his way to becoming a super star. Trent thinks Kyle is one of the best out there and that is being shown with Clev this year.
Trent isnt sure yet if Gruden has the knowledge and ability to create an offense in which RG can succeed.

So what now, trade or cut him? No way in hell I'd let him walk, I still believe he can sit and learn. His cap number is nothing
I think there are teams that would be willing to trade for him. FO people will remember 2012 and think the risk is worth the reward. I do think you are right that sitting him spells the end of his tenure here whether it is after the 4th season or not I cannot speculate. In regards to Shanahan, I think that he was over confident in his ability to fix Robert's flaws. He tried the same thing with Jake Plummer in Denver and they never quite achieved the expectations of the team there.

I don't get it...why are they benching him give that the season is over and he needs to get better? Shouldn't the remaining games be used to help his game.
I am guessing Snyder and co don't want those concessions to go unpurchased.

I think your comparison is apt. I also think Griff will rise to the occasion.
Sadly, I think that he will get his poop together while on another roster.

Nothing to do with Snyder other than Gruden got him to buy in to the decision. It is all about Gruden doing what is best to win every game. Teams win championships not players.
I understand letting a guy play if you are losing and he is doing well. (Mainning in his rookie year). This was not the case. We need to build a team vice fantasy players.

Yeah but mortgaged the future with the draft picks, didn't protect his health and didn't do their due dillegence with effectively coaching the qb position. Brilliant. Eff them
Fuck it, I'm going to do it.
I TOLD YOU ALL SO!!!
This isn't related just to Robert either because I wouldn't mortgage the future on any unsure thing.

This is the NFL not a developmental league.
