he sucked. because his ego didn't allow him to get better where he needed to get better, which in the end gets you to the same place. he sucked. how he got there, doesn't matter, lack of talent, lack of dedication, ego, what ever...you end up sucking. and he sucked.Shared blame:
From Washington Post:
After Washington won just seven games in 2013 and 2014 combined, Griffin’s standing around the league plummeted. Front office executives whispered that he no longer struck fear in opponents because the leg injuries had robbed him of his explosiveness. Others privately pointed to stubbornness and ego as the real impediments to progress.
But the culpability for Griffin’s unrealized potential in Washington was shared.
Snyder’s infatuation with his star player, according Griffin “favored-son” status, alienated the quarterback from his teammates and the coaching staff. Neither Shanahan nor Gruden was able to repurpose him as a drop-back passer. And a demanding fan base and hyper-critical press corps, on both the local and national level, inflated his prodigious ego and then nitpicked him apart.
