Sure, but you don't ignore good process just because a coach is new. If the head coach likes a QB and the team needs a QB you go get the QB as that's the most important position in the sport.

Being new means trust hasnt been earned.Im not ignoring good process , I am stating what   I consider the good process.

If you're choosing between the two because of potential, I'd have to go with Richardson because of age. He has less wear and injuries than Levis.

Yeah I think Richardson has the higher ceiling and is younger. I’d probably prefer him as well.

I do think those are two of the most irrelevant factors that fans value highly. 

It matters how you play the position and how capable you are of playing the position. In that regard, both Levis and Richardson seem to be severely lacking. Physical abilities through the roof but incredibly minute intangibles.

I get that but between the two, if you are gambling anyway, might as well gamble for the higher return.

TBH, I would just prefer not to gamble in the top 10. 

But I will trust the new head coach to try and develop whomever we end up with. I just hope we just aren't continuing this very Cleveland Browns-esque QB journey in three years.

The second part is how I feel. We have a very experienced offensive former QB as a HC now.  I’m down with whoever he thinks he can develop into our franchise QB. It’s been a while since we had someone like that on our staff, much less with the input of a HC position.
 

Most QBs not taken number 1 overall are a bit of a gamble. Mahomes, Allen, Jackson, even Herbert were gambles that their teams’ staffs did a great job in drafting and developing along the way.

      Thielen was a "dawg" like Dan Morgan likes to say. And they replaced him with puppies.  The analytics are probably saying this is more targets for younger receivers they are hoping to develop, specifically the first round pick from 2025. The eye test is going to show a very inexperienced group of WRs that are going to have some serious growing pains, for a 3rd year QB who has not yet proven to be the guy going forward.  It's crazy how in the literal first game of his NFL career, Cam Newton showed everyone he was a star QB and there was never any doubt about that. It almost didn't even matter who was around him, although he definitely had a serious lack of talent at WR for most of his career. Bryce is going into his third season and there is still a ton of doubt, and who is around him is seen as crucial for him to have success. I don't like it.

      Everyone says AT was old and slow but the one thing he could do consistently was get separation. That takes skill and it's been a huge issue in our WR for years. And while Moore may be a great locker room guy and our WR coach may be a 12 year vet, he's not playing in the game. Vets like AT do what they do because they can see things others don't and exploit it. The DB interview I mentioned before was with Stephon Gilmore after his DPOY season. He was pulling the younger DBs aside showing them things you wouldn't even think you'd be able to tell from the way the receiver was standing.  Seeing what a DB or LB is biting on in game that can give you that half step advantage is huge and we don't have that experience in our WR group right now and I think it could end up hurting us. None of our receivers have lined up against NFL corners successfully on a regular basis. Having someone that can walk over and give you a tip to get a half yard separation can be a difference maker.
