Why is everyone talking about A. Richardson all of a sudden? I never even heard of this kid until now.

Then you’ve missed all the weekly conversation about him in every college thread or qb thread as he’s been a big part of all those.

With Richardson you have to understand you're drafting a runner you hope can develop more as a passer.

He misses the easy stuff sometimes, but that's because he trusts himself to get the easy stuff if he's wrong deep. I haven't really gauged his deep accuracy but if it's there I'll probably end up liking him a lot. He's an electric runner, better than Fields, honestly Cam tier if I'm being real. 

He's a player that if he hits, you gotta devote the rest of your assets into building around what he does well, not what you think he can be.

Here is one. 2:50 mark. He missed a td by what 8 yards? 

It's hard to find all his throws because most videos only post highlights and not every attempt. 

 

Based on this video only, he really does remind me of Cam.  Got that middle of the field ZIP to the ball. Cannon.  Powerful runner.  Just like Cam, would need to work on his "touch" and mechanics.  Very interesting!

Thanks for posting it.

Yea, I never liked the whole “don’t draft him because he’s an Ohio State guy”. There’s a lot to like about Stroud. Accuracy and touch are top notch. I will be watching him hard against Georgia. That defense as we both know, is nasty. 

Being a QB at Ohio state doesn’t make you a bad QB. It just makes you an untested QB; a heavily supported QB. 
 

You get to see how a guy performs in ideal scenarios, when the NFL is often not ideal. 
 

That’s what makes these Bama/Ohio State QB’s such a gamble. It’s easy to hide weaknesses because the surrounding talent and line is such an advantage.

I don't know where you've been then.  He was one of the most hyped guys along with Tyler Van Dyke, Levis and Stroud going into the CFB season.  

Both Richardson and Van Dyke deflated their stock to start the year.  Van Dyke never recovered.  Richardson had some nice moments but as a passer has been spotty to say the least; his physical traits are what are propping him up.

TBH, he is much closer to Taysom Hill than he is Cam coming into the league.

Sam Darnold is the only QB on the team to have the physical skills to win Superbowl (not counting Matty C on IR)

Too bad he doesn't have the most important part, mental skill, needed to win a Superbowl.

Sam Darnold is paid for.

And is contract runs out at the end of the season. Hopefully the Panthers aren't dumb enough to give him another.

Doesn't change the fact that most teams looking for QB doesn't look to the gator program.  Good QB's very rarely go there. If they do, it's because they can't break the lineup on better colleges programs. 

That may have been true before the transfer portal and NIL money became a thing. Now guys are going to whichever school gives them a starting job and/or ponies up the most cash.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
