The beef between Jay Gruden and Robert Griffin III continued over social media on Thursday.
On Monday, while watching Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts get pummeled, Gruden shared a post on X where he commented on the lack of protection for the quarterback. Griffin responded, and then the two continued to trade shots on the app.
On Thursday, Griffin called out Gruden in a video the former quarterback posted on social media. In a since-deleted post, Gruden responded to Griffin.
“You weren’t good enough,” Gruden wrote in response to Griffin. “Kirk was better. Cleveland didn’t want you. Baltimore did (sic) either. Quit blaming me.”

Gruden was referencing Kirk Cousins, who supplanted Griffin as the starter in Washington. After deleting that tweet, Gruden tried to lighten the mood, telling the former quarterback to “go race a pigeon.”

It seems like Gruden thought better of the original post, and wanted to shut the beef down before it got any worse.
