Watch the games. He's a much better QB than I thought and his weapons at UF were much worse than I thought.

Watching Richardson at UF last year was reminiscent of watching Howell in his final year at UNC. It was basically a one man show because the surrounding cast pretty much sucked. At least Howell had Josh Downs. Richardson didn't have anything but dudes with cinder blocks for hands.

That’s the issue. The people that are freaking out over him possibly being the pick likely watched very little of his play last year. They just read the stats and freak out. AR would actually sit back and go through progressions and throw some nice 2nd/3rd option passes to some transfer junior college WR running the wrong route and dropping his pass. Florida’s offense was a poo show. The professionals are doing a much deeper dive which is why he will go in the 1st this year despite his stars.

Just think about the level of stud you gotta be to wear #15 at UF.

Speaking of which... how in the fug is #15 at UF not retired??? We all mock The Golden Calf of Bristol in the NFL but nobody should be wearing that jersey at Florida.

I will say this about him. I have seen some people try to compare his rawness to Willis. That's not right because AR is much further along, and of course he played in a big boy conference. That being said, he put up some stinkers due to the level of competition which is concerning. He couldn't sit back like Willis and look like a men among boys, running it and chucking it all over the field at will.

The question for Willis is whether or not he'll be able to read pro defenses and make the proper reads. This is the same question for Corral, but Corral didn't have accuracy issues. Where Richardson should have it over Corral is running ability and durability. He's bigger and presumably stronger, but the mental aspect of the game is just as important, and it's not like Corral doesn't have good mobility himself. 

It will be interesting for sure if we're the ones that actually draft Richardson.

Corral has accuracy issues on his deep balls - he literally changes his throwing motion to throw the ball deep.

I think if you get the green light on him from your psychologists / coaches - whoever analyses his drive / coachability then you could convince yourself to take him over Young and Stroud. 

Takes a brave GM to do that though considering their relative production in College.

I'm super intrigued by Richardson but he's definitely boom or bust. No doubt about that.

I'll be excited as hell if we draft him because that means that our very qualified and experienced coaching staff (whew, that's a relief) believes in him and their ability to develop him. I won't throw a fit if we don't draft him because then the opposite would be true and I do trust this staff to make this call more so than any staff we've ever had.

I'll honor the honeymoon for a period, whether a year or two, but all this needs to lead to something. I would give them three depending upon progress, but the Rhule experience and age has made me just a little more impatient.

Oh, for sure. Competence and experience doesn't automatically guarantee success. You can still swing and whiff. Bill Belichick has had no shortage of bad draft picks.
