it confuses me how people are so high on Richardson now when we knew he was going to do this. 

Why do people keep saying this as if Richardson wasn't hyped and talked about before the combine?

it confuses me how people are so high on Richardson now when we knew he was going to do this. in fact, his ability to run and throw as well as he does in pajamas makes me wonder why he wasn't more productive during his college career. in a weird way, his testing in throwing has made me even more concerned because if he has that kind of arm then why were his passing stats so pedestrian? there's something wrong with this situation. you can talk scheme, bad players around him, bad coaching, etc. but Cam went to Blinn CC and won a championship then did the same at Auburn. Lamar Jackson had one of the best dual threat seasons in NCAA history. if Richardson is a mix of those two, why does that mix play like crap? 

The experts were smart enough to sniff out Malik Willis last year when his combine had him at the top of everyone's board. people have to wake up on this kid, because he doesn't have the tangible results to match his immense skill. 

If Malik Willis was 6'4" 240, started only 13 games in the SEC, his hype train would've been higher. An undersized QB from Liberty hits different than a physical specimen with limited tape at Florida.

I think people knew AR would own the combine's metrics, but not at the level that he ended up producing. He also crushed interview and in-person meetings....this was probably not as expected.

The Athletic had a really nice write up of the combine. Here is the snippet on Stroud (who I want us to trade up to #1 and take):

”

C.J. Stroud isn’t the physical specimen of Anthony Richardson or Will Levis, but he still wowed folks in Indy. The 21-year-old from Ohio State threw for more than 8,000 yards in two seasons with an 85-to-12 TD-to-INT ratio, he torched the Georgia defense in his final college game, and he was razor sharp in his throwing session Saturday. Every throw looked smooth, effortless and natural. His deep ball was even more impressive than some NFL personnel folks expected.

“It’s the consistency he has with his arm, not only the accuracy but knowing when to throw what type of ball,” said the NFL QB coach. “C.J. is excellent at choosing the right club per se.”

This is a guy rival coaches have been raving about the past two years: “He’s the most accurate quarterback I’ve ever played against,” said one longtime college defensive coordinator who has faced a bunch of future top-10 draft picks. “It’s like he couldn’t have handed the ball to his receivers any better, and they’re 30, 40 yards downfield. He’s got high-level NFL accuracy and NFL vision. I think he understands the game so well and gets it out in under three seconds. He has a very high football IQ and really understands what you’re trying to do to him.”

Stroud didn’t just shine on the field but off it as well in his interviews, and even in between them. A quick story: Early in the week in Indy, Stroud was amid other prospects in the speed dating circuit of formal interviews, being escorted from one suite to another inside Lucas Oil Stadium to meet with front office folks, coaches and scouts. Then he spotted a familiar face, an NFL team staffer he recognized from a recruiting trip he took to a school he didn’t attend.

Even though the guy wasn’t one of the coaches who actually had been a point person in his recruitment, Stroud not only remembered him, he also remembered his now 12-year-old son who he’d met on a recruiting trip four years ago. He even asked to FaceTime with the kid right then and there and proceeded to laugh it up with his little buddy like he was the kid’s uncle. So much for combine jitters.”

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
