The more I dive into him, the more I like him. 

Perfect scenario where we draft him includes hiring Shane Steichen and signing Minshew as a bridge QB. Gives him time to learn the offense and still allows us to compete with the rest of the roster in place.

Smart move. Someone will take a shot at him in the 1st. But if he came back to college for another year and didn't make a leap his stock would probably plummet. The risk/reward for him heavily favors the draft. Hell, if he interviews well it wouldn't be surprising to see him go top 10.

I would be stunned if he went in the top 10.  I think the best case scenario for him is around where Kenny Pickett went.

so what's the story with him?  before the season, he was a hot name, but seems like I remember him not doing well early and was falling down draft boards, but he got better through the season?

Top tier athlete with a cannon arm but needs to be developed to be a consistent passer.  A very raw version of Cam.

We have no talent around him at Florida. Dan Mullen leaving and forgetting to recruit the year before left the team pretty barren. Our two best players on offense were a RG that came from Louisiana with Napier and a RB that came from Louisiana with Napier lol. 
 

Our #1 WR until He got hurt was a transfer from ASU who had like a 400 yard season the year before. Knowing that, and that we play in the SEC he was never going to put up monster numbers. 
 

During his last game folks here got to tune in and see a raw player who had the ball hit his WRs in the hands on mostly catchable balls and his completion percentage was terrible. He’s not super accurate but his team majorly let him down and I think his numbers would look a lot better on an NFL team vs the Gators.

Whenever Richardson has the time and sets his feet his accuracy is pretty damn good

Richardson has shown that he’s comfortable stepping up into the pocket unlike Levis who like Baker, loves to create his own pressures 

Like @Varking said, I think his numbers would look a lot better in the NFL. Richardson behind our OL gets me excited

His rushing should give his offense a decently high floor, not too different from how the Giants use Danny Dimes. He’ll get beat up, though, and his passing is definitely going to set a low ceiling, at least at first. I wouldn’t expect those early Cam 300-yard games. But depending on where we end up he could be a great pick.

Dude has some GREAT pocket awareness, feels pressure well and moves around to avoid defenders while keeping his eyes downfield. He even steps up in the pocket instead of bailing backwards.

Dude has a canon arm too. Like flick of the wrist and ball goes 50 yards. 

He has all the potential in the world to be a great QB, but would we have the staff to develop him?

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
