60.1% completion rating
16TDs
12INT (this is where you see his accuracy was off)
3200 yds
and an 82.2 passer rating. That's all minus 3 games, where I believe his play would have incrementally improved had he been in. (He also may have made a bonehead play trying to win a "meaningless" game, hopefully being benched gave him time to think about that aspect as well).
crazy stat, he threw for 3 yards more in 2013 than 2012 (3203 to 3200) and 4 less TD's (16 to 20) in 3 less games... Yes I know stats don't say everything, and I am NOT saying Griffin in 2013 was the same as 2012, but he didn't suddenly forget how to play football either.

You're way more into stats than me. What stats do not show you is missed reads, and indecision. I saw a ton of that last year. He was never comfortable or confident like he was two years ago. Either way I believe we will see ass kicking Griff again this year. HTTR!
Edit: I dont believe he forgot how to play either. I believe the injury / brace and missed pre season completely threw off his mechanics. The more the season spiraled out of control, the more he tried desperately to get back into form. It was just a doomed year. He will be fine.
Edit two : his accuracy being off I saw in a ton of throws. He was sailing the ball off his back foot all year.
