Today is Monday.

My concern for Richardson regarding injuries is convincing referees not to give him the Newton treatment. Watch his tape - he takes late shots and gets piled on in any sort of scrum because refs don't protect him. The problem with being 6'4" and 240lbs I guess.

If you know they're taking Bryce Young I'd do it for a jam sandwich.

I guess she likes a QB she doesn't have to stand on her tiptoes to hug.

It's very irresponsible of Daniel Jeremiah to release that Young scored the highest on that test without telling us how everyone else scored.

Tua's parents did that too - part of the Alabama offer I assume.

We've gone too far.

It's the most important position in all of sports - I've no idea why every team doesn't keep 3 on the roster at all times. You should always be developing someone.

I think you could see on the co-hosts' face that he fears he's about to be replaced.

Unless Fitterer and Reich are lying, they haven't sat down as a group and discussed who they actually want at QB yet. That discussion starts next week after the visits.

See I'm the opposite. I saw Young's debut where he murdered the Canes (we were terrible that year) - I was blown away. The more I watch him, the less I like as an NFL prospect. His size just massively limits what he's going to be able to do in the NFL - there's simply no getting away from it.

If who's processing was so elite? On the topic of Richardson though, how long do you give SunBelt Billy before he's fired? That offensive system... woof!

Richardson is with the Panthers today and tomorrow, FYI.

That War Room is going to get Frank and themselves fired.

What makes you think he doesn't process well?

Well I've watched them both for multiple years and don't want to watch them any more. Mallory is soft and wouldn't block his grandmother. He's a Flex TE, but don't expect him to make any contested catches. Stevenson came into Coral Gables with a ton of hype after transferring from Georgia. He constantly looked like a S trying to play CB.

I'm pooing your tone. It stinks.

Tyrique Stevenson CB/NB is a no from me. A consistent disappointment at Miami.

Stroud is not Burrow (out of College at least) and it's a really unfair comparison for CJ. You're setting him up to fail if you think that he can produce anything like in the NFL. Burrow threw for 60 TDs his Senior year (that's 19 more than Stroud as a Junior). He was utterly ridiculous in College - and both were surrounded by 'first day' NFL talent at the skill positions.

You're falling into the trap of pigeonholing Richardson as an athlete that doesn't know how to play QB. Pryor, Vick, Young and Jackson all won with their legs first, their arm second. Richardson is an inexperienced pocket passer that just happens to run a 4.4.

The good pocket passers that were playing on the overwhelmingly more talented team 95% of the time?

I'm not sure Nagy verbally blowing Saban needed another thread, but I'm not one to judge.

I did the same with Mahomes - started off thinking "meh, he's just a big armed kid in a QB friendly system playing backyard football - that'll never fly in the NFL". Then the more you watched his tape, the more you saw he knew exactly what he was doing on those 'crazy' plays. I don't think Richardson is Mahomes btw - he's the best QB prospect I've ever seen - but I think he's a franchise QB (i.e. a top 5 QB in the NFL that you wouldn't trade for the world) if he pans out. A good deal of my projection for Richardson is based on the fact he's 20 years old, had a terrible supporting cast (both players and coaches) and has only 13 career starts btw. If he looked like this as a 23 year old in year 3 I'd be much less bullish on him.

As I keep saying - Young is undoubtedly the best College QB of the three (partly down to his supporting cast and partly down to the opposition). The NFL Draft is about projection - who is going to be the best NFL QB, and not just in 2023? That's who you take.
