He played very well in Denver. They wanted a mobile QB which Griese isnt. Also Griese had injuries to his throwing shoulder and his leadership was questioned while in Denver. It was the combination of his lack of mobility, injury, and a locker room dispute. He was recovering from those injuries when he went to Miami. He didnt get the healthy practice time he needed in Miami and he didnt fit the system they wanted to run either anyway. He's a west coast type QB who isnt mobile. When healthy, he has always played well in a short passing system. Leadership is something that often improves with age. I dont give up on a QB who is thrown into a starting role as a rookie and benched for lack of leadership. He's not the youngster he was in Denver anymore. Chicago doesnt have to "mentor" him. The throwing arm seems like it finally healed well enough. Mobility will always be an issue but a lot of good QBs have the same issue. Griese is a good QB but he doesnt fit every system. I thought Griese and Brees were the two best fits for Chicago. Just like I thought Brooks and Culpepper were the two best fits for Oakland.
