Is A.R a smaller C.Newton in the rough?

And if they want another Cam, why does it bother you? 
 

Remember, like you said, every team has fan favorites 

Because they want a lesser version of Cam. It makes no sense. They should want the best QB ... not some ex girlfriend.

If AR had stayed one more year at Florida, I think the comparisons in college would be more aligned. Cam was unstoppable at Auburn and won a chip that year. Richardson needed more reps and impose his will consistently all year to be compared. 

I think AR destroys the combine and pro-day and will go top-7 before Levis. If we want any QB not named Levis, we need to get to 6. 

I think the Colin Kaepernick comp is a good one. AR has a prettier release and looks more fluid with his delivery, but has some messy footwork and he will need to improve reading defenses more. 

Stroud could start later in '23. Richardson can not.

The only way a running QB should be compared to Cam is if they can match his size. Anything less can't be the same kind of runner. The other running QBs in the league are already not lasting a whole season. He's the only one who could withstand the running for a long period of time.

Fwiw, I compare hurts to him since he's the only other qb I've seen successfully run power from the qb position.

Just as in golf, let's try and stay out of the rough.

But if you find yourself in the rough, play conservative and use a 9 iron or a wedge.

Cam was the size of a linebacker with the speed of a WR and the running tendency of a power back...and he was effective at doing everything. There will never be another QB like Cam. There will be similar people. Maybe they have a bit of his magic. But you'll never see that kind of player again, as far as being all those things.

 

Goddamn you, Kelvin Benjamin and TJ Watt.
