I will accept either the Rams or Texans as destinations for him to miraculously turn around. https://www.tankathon.com/nfl At this point, I might be rooting for him to succeed at one of those places more so than here.

I am not here arguing he might not go in the 1st round, either. It's very possible. I just don't want to be the team spending a top 10 pick on the guy. Or really a 1st, if I am honest. I am curious to see this play out. I want to see if he proves to be the media creation that Willis was. And, IMO, Willis was a more polished passer.

At least Jefferson showed some improvements over time. Richardson did not. I am not anti-Richardson. I am anti-Richardson in the first round. You give me Richardson with our 2nd round pick, you won't hear a single complaint from me. Quality gamble.

My point being that potential is a dangerous drug. It's easy to OD on, especially when mixed with hopium or copium. You need to find the right balance of ceiling and floor. In Richardson's case, his ceiling is the highest. However his floor is so low it's almost an abyss. Probably the lowest floor in this entire QB class because, frankly, he is subpar at most aspects of playing the QB position. Not at an NFL level, but at a college level. That should give most people pause. Now, I haven't done a deep dive into FL to determine if there are some scheme issues or he just hasn't been developed properly. I will leave that up to the professionals. What I can say is that of the games I have watched over the past two seasons, he was quite bad at reading the field and being accurate on throws. That's ultimately gonna be a problem, especially if we don't have the people to develop him properly.

It's rather sad that you cannot read your own posts or follow your own arguments. - You compare Richardson's talent running the ball to Cam. - I reply that he is more Taysom Hill than Cam. - Then you say that is an insult to Richardson's arm strength. - I literally give you stats that I am 100% certain you literally never looked at. - Then you cry that stats don’t matter. - I point out that the on field play makes my point even more pertinent. - Then you shriek that you never compared Richardson to Cam......literally despite this entire thing being over you comparing him to Cam. So, maybe you are too stupid to follow your own logic train or maybe you are trying to crawfish your way out of making an outlandish comment.

Dude, literally scroll back to your post 6 hours ago. Just follow this back and forth up to your post. You just randomly fired that off the hip and then completely forgot about it? That's literally how we got to "more Taysom Hill than Cam."

I mean, I assumed you were since watching them play it's EXTREMELY obvious he isn't anywhere near Cam Newton.

Careful, you are gonna stir up @rippadonn

I mean JaMarcus Russell was brimming with potential. As was Ryan Leaf. Potential is part of the equation, not the answer to it. Or, as a buddy of mine once said, "Potential just means you haven't done poo yet."

If you think that, you are gonna be in for quite a shock when you actually look at their college stats. https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/anthony-richardson-2.html https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/taysom-hill-1.html I can tell you stats Richardson isn't anywhere near..... https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/cam-newton-1.html

TBH, he is much closer to Taysom Hill than he is Cam coming into the league.

No, I was fine with the Mayfield trade at a stated price point because the price was low. It didn't have any real impact other than a few mil on the cap and a 5th round pick. Leaps and bounds better than the terrible Darnold trade. Now, the obvious problem with any of this was that we took so long to fix the real issue, which was Matt Rhule.

Are any of them transferring to the Carolina Panthers? I understand that there are college fans here, I get that. I can tolerate some regular season or postseason game talk. But fuging transfer portal poo? I don't care about college football offseason poo that isn't NFL related.

Yeah, this is a rare win-win if the Saints win. Moves us closer to the top of the division while also helping our draft positioning(overall).

It will be fun to see how much more behind the curtain we get to see as a result of Rhule frantically trying to change the narratives about his tenure here. So much would have just stayed behind the scenes and now it is going to be public because he crossed so many people.

This seems like the obvious answer. I can't believe anyone seriously said anyone else. Some of our fans are....special.

Maybe you missed it, but this is an NFL forum and we have existing college football threads. Most of us care about who is declaring, not inter-college transfers.

The Darnold Defense League is perplexing. I don't understand hitching your wagon to that one. What a small and insignificant hill to die on.

Not at all. They are #1 in the draft. I hope he completely turns them around for pretty obvious reasons.

If he goes to Houston, I hope he's a fuging stud.

Well we are tracking pretty heavily towards the 1999-2017 Cleveland Browns and that is about as Cleveland Browns of a pick as I can imagine. It is pretty much on brand, TBQH.

I mean, basically all our QB performances save one from PJ this season have been pretty sad. I am not saying any of these guys are good but the similar results across the board makes me believe the real problem is obviously McAdoo. But all of those QB's still suck.

His bust factor is absolutely astronomical. It will be interesting to see this play out.

Beat me too it.

You really want to compare a Kyle Shanahan offense to a Ben McAdoo offense? I really doubt Brock Purdy is gonna come in here and tear it up like that(which it wasn't really that stellar of a performance) in this offense.
