Josh Allen is a totally different player.  No real comparison at all to me.

Josh Allen was a big armed athlete in college. He was wildly inaccurate. They're the same guy to my eyes and I watched quite a few of Allen's games at Wyoming living in CO at the time. They were always on TV for me.

That’s fine and maybe Richardson can develop but he is extremely inaccurate like for whole games.  The athleticism is awesome but he has a long way to go passing.  He needs to stay another year

Clemson is probably more on the tier with Penn State, FSU, Auburn. And yes Clemson has had a nice run the past decade. They weren’t anything special pre Dabo and their success in the 80s was due to massive amounts of cheating 

I mean, it depends how you choose to look at it….I mean you want to go back 40 years to talk about present day college football?  That’s not how I am doing it.    No recruit gives a fug about the 80s.  

Clemson is and has been a top tier program in the college football playoff era.  Only behind Bama.   

I break it down by eras.  NIL era is the next one coming up IMO.

I don't disagree. I'm just saying Josh Allen looked the exact same and look at him now. 

I've said repeatedly that I've never seen any QB develop as much as a pure passer as Josh Allen has in the NFL. I can't even think of a remotely close second.

I still think Richardson is the most talented of the draft eligible QBs. I just don't know that I'm willing to bet on him making a Josh Allen type leap. That seems like asking lightning to strike twice. But honestly they look virtually identical to me as college QBs.

I haven't caught any of Bryce Young but yeah rough day for the draft QB's. At this point if we're 3 I'd take Will Anderson and then maybe keep an eye on Anthony Richardson for pick 2 if he's there. Either way I think we'll have to stick with 3 qb's through last cuts at the least. None of these guys are showing we should just dump Corral off especially when he's technically costing us a 3rd this year. Not sure if he's worth trading away either, he's had a good attitude to the whole fuged situation he was put in so that's worth something

He is an anomaly…that doesn’t happen much.  I think he probably has the biggest arm I have ever seen.  Amazing

I'm not opposed to trading out of that spot and amassing stupid draft capital unless you're certain Anderson is a sure fire HOFer.

I know Nebraska is considered a blue blood and they have been irrelevant for three decades.

Gotta be honest, really not feeling Anderson. This LT is working him most of the time. Big lack of power.

I honestly feel the same. I think he's a really good prospect. I don't think he's the type of prospect you pass on QBs or a massive haul of picks to draft though.

I think I'm leaning hard toward the trade down direction of the opportunity presents itself.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
