The NFL Shield At Midfield

cam hits deep outs and other difficult sideline routes with his eyes closed which is something that i didn't see griffin do much of. the only play of griffin's like that that really stuck out to me was in the vikings game when he rolled out of the pocket and tried to strongarm a ball into a tight spot near the sideline. it had way too little velocity and antoine winfield jumped it for the interception. e: found a gif

i've spent some time watching him on game rewind he's probably in the most friendly system for a young quarterback imaginable. even though ESPN built him up like he was sitting back in the pocket picking apart defenses like brady, it's pretty obvious that there are a lot of one-read concepts in his offense if you actually watch his games. lots of quick hitters off three step drops and screens. of course, that notion would fly in the face of the "cerebral" griffin vs. "stupid" newton narrative that seems to be floating around. also his arm is only so-so and he puts up a ton of ducks when he attempts truly vertical passes.

michael silver from yahoo sports is like that too. the hair up his ass dates back to the panthers locking the media shitheels out of cam's first practices with the team after the lockout in 2011. he threw a fit in his column and has been on the warpath since. i hate this kind of stupid poo though: see, schein probably isn't stupid enough to actually believe a statement like this even though he wrote it. he's tailoring his work to his audience. that's because there are plenty of mouth breathers out there who think dropping a quarterback from a winning team on a losing team is like installing a new video card or more RAM in your computer and that it will necessarily result in better performance.

griffin would have been horrible on this team running this system. his accuracy goes to pieces outside of like 20 yards and unless chudzinski suddenly decided he wanted to run a walsh west coast offense he'd have been IR'd by week 10.
