Per Matt Miller.. Panthers all in on Richardson?

Has all the upside in the world, cannon of an arm, 6’4 with a filled out 234 pound frame that could probably hold another 5 lean, speed to shred defenses. If there’s a guy you shoot your poo with its this guy, it’s not even boom or bust worst case he’s a top 3 running qb out the gate and is a gadget guy. If he hits though we’re talking a top 5 QB who could carry an offense ala Cam Newton. I never thought we would see a prospect reminiscent of Cam but here we are. I miss watching a freak athlete behind center, I was nine years old when he got drafted and he’s the biggest reason I fell in love with this team.

He has the physical tools, intelligence, and wants to grow. I mean if our staff is as good as advertised then I get the hype.

I really don't understand what you're saying. What does our staff have to do with AR's hype? They're not miracle workers, they are coaches. Whether Richardson improves would mostly be on him, and he has a very long way to go by all accounts. He's far from Willis raw though. He has to commit to developing his pocket presence, and basically learn the complexity and nuances of the position. His tape is all over the place.

He certainly didn't look anywhere close to Stroud vs UGA.

I'm not trying to talk bad about the kid, but he needs a lot of work, and people need to be realistic.

Florida has immensely less talent than OSU on offense. That being said, look at every single game UGA played this season. Only three QB passed for 250 yards or more against UGA, and only Richardson and Stroud made it to 250+ with a TD without an INT.

Our staff has plenty to do with the development of a QB. Sure it certainly involves AR taking the next steps and putting in his time to get better, but if you think a staff isn’t at least partially responsible for the development of a young QB we are just too far apart on this topic.
Building the right roster/system around a QB like AR is going to be very important. Look what the Eagles staff did with Hurts when they matched their roster/play calling to his strengths. Look how Daboll helped Allen develop in Buffalo. It’s no coincidence that Daniel Jones immediately looked better the one year Daboll was there. It’s also no coincidence that Wentz got much worse when Reich left the Eagles. Even Alex Smith suddenly looks solid when he goes to play for Andy Reid. Geno Smith looked his best his one year under Carroll…

Comparing AR to Stroud with the supporting cast around each QB seems kind of pointless. Put AR on OSU and Stroud on Florida and that tape looks a lot different. I do agree that Stroud is the much more polished passer and I prefer Stroud over AR, but AR’s ceiling definitely passes Stroud.

    • then we're stuck.  tbh, at this point i would settle for just making it interesting. forget winning a superbowl for now. just get a team that can win games consistently and hope that it's enough to get to the big dance.  we want superman. we aren't getting superman. we had him and we blew our chance with him.  find a way make it work and hope that we can with this little guy and quit wishing our lives away for the second coming of superman. it just ain't happening.
    • Gonna have to strongly disagree with you here. Here are the last 20 Super Bowls - only two of them IMO had QB that didn't play like Superman to get them there/win the game/both, and that was Peyton in 2015 and Ben in 2005. Even then they both had that ability, Peyton was just old and Ben young. That said, there were flashes in the pan like Foles in 2017 and (to a lesser degree) Flacco in 2012. But even counting that, it's 4/20. 20% odds aren't good enough and Bryce was absolutely drafted at #1 to be a guy that elevates an entire team and plays like Superman. If he can't do that then it's a failed pick, full stop. Being a poor man's Teddy doesn't cut it for a #1 overall and that's true for any team, not just Carolina.
    • the problem is if we're waiting for Cam v2, we're going to be waiting decades longer.  our best hope is that bryce is better than we all think he is and that canales is able to work some serious magic with him and the scheme to help him live up anywhere close to the potential we thought he had. he's a smart kid. we just have to be able to have a situation that allows him to use his smarts.  the truth with cam was that een he had to have a system tailored for his skillset coming into the league. the difference between him and luck (which was the debate in '09 when we thought luck was an option) was that with luck, he could be placed in any offense and it would work...hence the higher floor he had  than cam. cam, though, needed an offense that was built around him to reach his potential. he could have done alright in a more pro-style offense, but to reach his ceiling (which was seen by a lot of people as being higher than luck). i don't think having to have an offense tailored around what you can and can't do well is a problem for people who can develop around them...after they've truly identified what those can and can't items are. we didn't have that last year. i think we have that this year. we want a guy who can carry a team on his back, but those kind of guys are very rare. we don't need to spend our time trying  find that guy, because even when you have them there's no guarantee that they will be enough.  championships are won, quite often, by teams who learn to compensate for less than the greatest QB play. you have a great defense and can protect the ball while wearing out the other defense and you've got a chance.  we don't need Bryce to be superman (despite where we drafted him and what we paid to get him). we just need him to be able to run (manage) a good offense.
