In critiquing his team’s performance during a closed-door meeting the next day, Gruden halted the projector on a sequence in which Griffin, gripped by indecision, was sacked for a six-yard loss.

“That’s never going to happen again — my quarterback taking a six-yard loss when he could throw it away,” Gruden said, dressing down Washington’s star quarterback in front of a hushed room of his peers.

“Yes, sir,” replied Griffin, the once-explosive Heisman Trophy winner who was clearly struggling in the traditional pocket-passing role Gruden wanted him to play.

Concerns grew after Washington’s offense scored just six points in the season-opening loss at Houston. Two years after Griffin’s receivers and teammates viewed their dynamic quarterback as a meal ticket, players started grumbling privately that his ineffectiveness could cost them a chance at lucrative contracts in the future. “Man, this guy’s going to wind up taking food off our tables,” one receiver worried.

Washington’s front office had decided in the offseason that one way of helping Griffin reclaim his rookie form was to surround him with more receiving talent. Griffin lobbied for Arizona’s Andre Roberts. The quarterback also helped recruit DeSean Jackson, the speedster from Philadelphia. Both were excited to join a stable that already included Pierre Garcon, who led the NFL in catches in 2013, and tight end Jordan Reed. Griffin assured all of them he would spread his throws around and scoring opportunities would abound. But patience soon wore thin.

“As players, you get tired if everything about what we do as a team is directed at one person,” veteran wide receiver Santana Moss explained in a recent interview. At 35, Moss said he doesn’t begrudge Griffin any attention but understands why many young players might. “When you keep giving all that attention to one person and you have 50-some other guys out here playing, as players, they get to feel some type of way. That’s only being human.”
