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.

      Is AJ Dillon just a camp body?

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      I think Dillon can be what Eric Shelton was supposed to be.

      Draft intel from ESPN’s Jordan Reid

      Yeah, no way he's an option at 19. We could honestly probably get him in the 3rd round.

      I mean, on some level I get it. They want to know 100% for sure before they either extend Bryce or move on. I imagine the logic behind it is that if they add another weapon and Bryce doesn't show he can be a franchise guy then we'll be in great position to draft another QB and slot him into an offense with 3 legit WRs, a good TE and a solid OL. I don't think it's as simple as the front office trying to "justify" an extension for Bryce. If they're not sold on Bryce then they know paying him big money is a recipe for disaster and at that point just trying to please Tepper isn't going to save their jobs in the long run if they're stuck with a QB we can't win with. I think Morgan and Canales are just as uncertain on Bryce as the fanbase is. They see his limitations, but they also see flashes where he has managed to overcome them and look like a potential franchise QB. I think they're trying to avoid Bryce becoming the next Baker Mayfield or Sam Darnold and want to do everything they can to give him what he needs to succeed so that if/when the time comes to move on from him nobody can say "the Panthers were the problem" if he goes elsewhere and succeeds. And if we do end up having to bring in another QB in a year or two if nothing else they will have the pieces around them as well and can hit the ground running. I also think drafting a WR in the 1st this year would be as much about missing on XL as it would trying to justify extending Bryce. Personally I think we need to just count ourselves lucky to have landed a legit #2 WR as an UDFA in Coker (which helps negate the miss on XL in the 1st) and try to find a good slot receiver in free agency or the 2nd-4th rounds while focusing on defense and the OL in the 1st round.
