Richardson >>>>> Levis in terms of pure raw talent.

Richardson is also a couple years younger.

Listen, if you held a gun to my head and made me say yay or nay on Richardson is say nay. I'm just saying in intrigued on a pure talent basis if he checks the boxes in interviews. Levis? I'm all the way out on him. I think he's an NFL backup. He's Kenny Pickett 2.0 and I was saying this time last year I wouldn't even look at Picket prior to the 3rd.

Richardson only works year 1 if we run an offense similar to what the Bears have run the past five weeks. Using his legs to help the team while he develops as a passer. Otherwise, he benefits from going to a team where he can sit a year.

I’m still waiting for him to show Penix being inconsistent this year. I think he is just rambling right now….

Outside of tonight, which still has plenty left, Penix lowest yards total for any game this year is 298. And he has only had two games under 60% completions. He’s been very consistent.

I don’t want anything to do with the project either player presents but when you are desperate…

Most QBs in this class (and most classes) are projects with maybe Young being the exception. That’s why we need a good offensive minded HC to develop whoever we draft.

I like a quote from Bill Parcels…QBs and guys that get the QBs are premium.

But college players that get TDs is a good bet

19 TDS and 10 INTs = Levis

23 TDS and 8 INTs = Richardson 

But if TDS with no context is what matter Bo Nix has 38 total before this game tonight.

Oh, we're desperate. And if we're desperate I'd MUCH rather roll the dice on Richardson than Levis.

Richardson is younger, they didn't rush him today but he's better at that, his big time throws looks way better than any "highlight" I've seen of Levis throwing further than 10 yards. Richardson is obviously the best player at Florida, Levis is just kinda the QB game managing for Kentucky. No sense of urgency for whatever reason on that offense, it seems like they let him game manage and when he does let it loose he gets picked off

Do the numbers…interesting on Nix to be honest…might want to consider him

I agree with this. Hell, the odds of Josh Allen becoming Josh Allen was astronomical.

Rookie Josh Allen was terrible, too. Hell, it wasn’t until year 3 in the NFL he went over 60% completions. But it’s the formula you want to follow if you are drafting a Richardson or even a Levis. Get the guy and then you MUST surround him with talent. Go after guys via trades and the draft on offense to protect him and give him targets to throw to. 

Don’t do what we did for Cam and draft him and then sort of kind of forget to protect him.

    • 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
