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.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      While I'd love to add him, it just doesn't make sense for where we are at in our re-build right now. The only teams who should be interested are those who have a very legitimate shot at winning the SB this season, as any team who makes the trade is going to be mortgaging their future to make the move. Teams who make these kinds of trades and then give them the massive contract, in the hopes that it will expedite their path to contention, ALWAYS ends up backfiring because they have to give up the 1st round picks that are then needed to help build out the rest of the roster after eating up such a significant chunk of the cap on the new contract. There is no way the Cowboys trade him for anything less than 2 future 1st rounders (and probably more), plus we'll have to make him the highest paid non QB in league history.  Not to mention that it would then have made the Scourton and/or Princely picks a bit of a waste, as those 2nd and 3rd round picks would have been better off used on a ILB or DB

      Like his approach to pre season that's ro get them out there and play together for a few plays and right about the night before and morning before.  Maybe we can come out the gate on fire I can smell the smoke from here!!   Go Panthers
