If Richardson goes back to school, there may not be a QB drafted in the second round.

Just more proof we should not take him in the draft. How long will he have to miss for a torn ACL? 

9-12 months. Thats rough for a rookie to miss all of training camp at that age

I'd have to argue it is if he's a developmental QB, and especially that combined with a mobile type.  A guy that will be 25 years old his rookie year needs to hit the ground running.  If not, you're banking on a guy being 26-27 by the time he gets going.  And being a mobile prospect, how long will that really last?  I guess he's no Weinke so there's that.

If he can play he can play.  He's not a top 25 pick so he wouldn't get more than one season to prove himself anyway.  It's a dart you throw this season and throw another next draft if Corral can't do it next season. Rinse and repeat until someone emerges.

Don’t know what to make of him as a prospect. Plays in a very friendly offense  and rarely gets pressured

I'd support him if we picked him but he's not my preference.  Maybe we could catch lightning in a bottle with him.  Sucks for the kid.

I'm not suggesting we should take him. I just said age shouldn't be a disqualifying factor in the selection. If they decide to take a shot on someone else they will be under the same development schedule and same expectations.

I really hate to hear this…get well soon.

What a disasterous day for Tenn yesterday.

It could drop him into the 2nd round. Might wanna keep an eye on that.

Lots of factors when it comes to ACL- how much damage ie is there MCL or PCL issues too. You do not know until the cutting starts. Were the tear happen on the ACL, how much longer is the ACL?? What other stuff is floating around- cartilage, nerves, blood vessels, etc etc. If its a clean tear with no other issues, modern time is MUCH less depending on the players healing factor. Its not uncommon to be back in 6 months. Plus it depends on where you play.

Back in the stone age the GOAT Jerry Rice came back in like 4 months when he was 39(?)....before all the advance in surgery which is mainly allowing the swelling to go down and not having as much scar tissue(much less cutting) thus allowing some to come back faster.... They just have a better understanding of the ACL now.

Take the best QB available in the first then Hooker in the 4th if he's still there. 

Worth a shot.

Washington style with RG3 and Cousins

As good as he was on the field, he’s an even better dude. This one really hurts! He will be missed. 
 

As for his draft stock, he wasn’t going to be a starter in the league next year, anyway. I think he should still be considered in the 3rd.

Now's the time to double dip at QB then. Take one in the first then take Hooker in the 4th or 5th for shits and gigs a-la the Redskins back in 12 with Griffin and Cousins.
