If he manages to play 3 preseason games and all 16 games of the regular season this year for Cleveland, it will be his second longest streak of healthy games in his combined 8 years of college and pro football. The longest streak started his Junior year when he came back from his first blown ACL and lasted until he had to sit out the second half of a game during his senior year for a concussion (23 fully healthy games).

Since then...

6 fully healthy games in a row (2 games his senior year until his second concussion on 10/7/2012)

7 fully healthy games in a row (weeks 6 through 12 of 2012, after which the Ngata hit happened which essentially ended his career as a productive QB)

2 "fully healthy" games in a row (last 2 weeks of regular season in 2012, after which he blew out his ACL for the second time)

14 fully healthy games in a row (from week 1 2013 through week 1 2014, after which he dislocated his ankle while trying to stiff-arm a linebacker on a routine bootleg)

7 fully healthy games in a row to close out the 2014 season (got his third concussion in week 3 of the 2015 preseason, so he'll be starting fresh in 2016)


Staking out an agenda on Griffin is pointless because the odds are that you're just going to be using the "he looked like he was improving until he got injured!" bullshit that Redskins fans had to endure in 2014 (off the strength of 1 bad game + 1 "drive") and again in 2015 (off the strength of 1 preseason game). Then, you'll get to move onto the "if he sucked, it's because he was still recovering from injury" phase. Finally, and this probably won't occur until several years after he's off the team (sooner if you land an actual viable starter to replace him, longer if not), you'll finally get tired of defending him and you'll concede that maybe he wasn't that good. More likely, though, you'll stick with your guns regardless of what happens, because that's what a good agenda is for.
