Todd McShay seems to really like Anthony Richardson

Jim Irsay specifically mentioned in a press conference how he loves “that Alabama  QB”.  Normally people might say he is playing draft games or isn’t the one making the decision but with that guy I am not sure.  He constantly inserts foot into mouth by spilling the beans over and over.

It’s hard to play poker when you snort too much cocaine…

By separating it out you're trying to diminish what he is.

As the total package he's the most athletically gifted QB in this Draft - great size, the biggest arm, the fastest and most elusive runner.

He's a complete projection, but so is every QB. With regards to your "Can he run it? Yep. Cool." btw - the only reason why Hurts is worth spit in the NFL is because he's a threat with his legs. 

But Hurts is a much, much better passer than AR. Look, if you can get the kid in the 3rd ... awesome. Using your first round pick on someone who is a massive project is insane. And where does this "most athletically gifted" BS come from? How can thay even be judged? The old eyeball test?

I am all in on drafting Richardson at 9 if we stay at 9. High upside develop him for a year or hell even let him get some playing time running rpos and such in packages. Sign a vet or even keep Darnold. Keep all those CMC picks and fill out the roster.

I like AR at 9 as well. We'd give up too much for Young/Stroud. And those guys are toothpicks.

I heard an analyst (can't remember who it was) say that when Hurts  (Allen too) came into the league he was a "bad passer." He said that if Hurts was in a boat in the middle of the ocean that he couldn't hit water his passing was so bad. Hurts' passing improved dramatically. I think it was Greeny who said that he'd never seen such dramatic improvement so quickly (and Greeny isn't the only one).  

Now I'm not saying AR will improve, but if our staff thinks that they can help him to improve, then they would have to consider him. If they actually do fix him, you get a "boom!" If they can't, well you know what it is...

Here's a news item that should be scary to fans of good quarterback play...

Lottery mentality? Oh hell, no! 🤬

To be clear, I kind of doubt our team would take that approach. But the idea that any professional team eould take this sort of attitude is just terrible.

With the rookie contract I think it’s a good philosophy if all the qbs in the draft are gambles.   Why not take the biggest shot?

For the same reason that you work hard and try to build financial security rather than betting your future on buying lottery tickets.

I don't want our team just throwing darts at a board thinking "hell, maybe this guy will be good". I want them doing their homework, scouting him, interviewing him and making smart choices when it comes time to turn in their pick.

And thankfully, with the coaching staff and braintrust that we have now, that's exactly what I expect them to do.

I don't see Stroud, Young or Levis running for an 80 yard TD against LSU. 

You're got a serious hate boner against him, and I respect that, but please.

    • I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.  
    • I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years. 
    • He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
