I've done that and yes, it took years of practice. Was it worth it? Yes. However, I am almost 32 now. If I was an NFL QB my career would either be over already or on the back end of it. I do not think NFL teams have the patience to wait 8 years for athletic QB's to learn how to use their arms first.
I loved Mike Shanahan and thought Kyle did a great job tailoring an offense to Griffin's abilities. The issue was they should have pulled him off the field before he blew his knee out again and there was also that special relationship Griffin had with Dan Snyder. So a combination of an injury and trying to compensate for that injury as well as the breakdown of relationships which is typical under Snyder's ownership. It was a all a recipe for disaster. But I do miss the Shanahans personally. Not that I'm not supporting Gruden now but I just never thought Mike or Kyle were the problem.
