The Ravens for some odd reason signed Trent Richardson

This guy reminds me a little of Cedric Benson who parlayed a first round pedigree and mediocre production into a 7 year career. He does just enough to stick around.

Trent has literally done nothing. So I don't know what enough means.

 

feel bad for him because of the joke he's become because by all accounts he's a good dude.

Richardson was actually a good signing by my secondary NFL team. Let me explain why.

Richardson has all the physical tools to be a good RB. His biggest problem is obviously his lack of vision in the line/hole. That can be easily fixed. This is stuff High School RBs learn. If he hits the film room with him not getting a ton of carries for his first few seasons. His body is still in good shape. The Ravens would not've sign him unless they believe he can be coached up. He could be a good steal for the Ravens.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
