"The days of a traditional pocket passer are over" - Frank Reich.

"You need a mobile quarterback that can make plays when the pocket breaks down" - Frank Reich 

"You need a leader at the position that can elevate the play of others around him, someone others will respect and play hard for." - Frank Reich 

There's a lot more clues if you care to listen to the man. Doesn't mean Richardson is that guy.   Just saying there are clues as to what he's looking for if you listen to what he's actually saying instead of what you want to hear.

Reich also made it pretty clear that passing is still the top priority. In his words, "at some point you're going to have to be able to win the game from the pocket".

Right now, I think Bryce Young is the guy with Richardson as the dark horse. All the "PG mentality" stuff screams Bryce Young, but the "go be Superman on 3rd down" screams Anthony Richardson.

I wish I had better insight on what they're thinking, I'm just trying to make wild speculations based on cherry picked comments. 😂

Of course.  Tell me which of these guys that cannot make a play from a clean pocket? That's easy for any average nfl gb. The problem is a clean pocket is not very common in the nfl.

Mike Lombardi agrees with you on Young but not on Richardson...

That's what we all are doing. I honestly do not know where they are going with this. I do know that right now Richardson is climbing in this draft at an alarming rate. I've seen a lot of prognostication say he goes to the Colts at 4. Everyone loves his potential but caviot it with he needs the right situation.  Then say his bet fit is the Colts who can develop him. Like the Panthers do not have better coaching.

Anthony Richardson is going to get people fired. People are going to get fired for drafting him if he's a bust or people are going to get fired for passing on him if he isn't. Either way, Anthony Richardson is going to be behind some NFL pink slips.

Did Lombardi mention that Young has not worked from under center? There's a reason he works exclusively from the shotgun. I've also heard one pro wr say that they hated playing with a short qb because the could not see them in the pocket and could not tell where they were looking to pass.

All of these guys have that same potential to get people fired.  If whoever is selected doesn't pan out whoever made the call will be shown the door. None of them are sure fire prospects.

AR is just different though. It's all going to seem so obvious in hindsight.

If he booms, well no duh. "How can a guy THIS talented not be great? How did you numbskulls not see this??? You're all fired!!!"

If he busts, well no duh. "How can a guy who had such pedestrian stats and awful completion percentage in college ever translate to the NFL? How did you numbskulls not see this???? You're all fired!!!"

I see Richardson as the kind of guy who's going to generate a lot of really cool highlights and excite a lot of fans but fall short when it comes to winning playoff games and such.

A lot like Michael Vick, basically...

(some would say Lamar Jackson too but it's kinda early)

      SI article on Legette: "Minicamp is the perfect time to...be overly optimistic..."

      By TD alt · Posted

      https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/onsi/xavier-legette-s-offseason-focus-could-help-unlock-panthers-wr I am going to be totally honest here: If I had to bet Xavier Legette would pass or fail--well, maybe catch on or drop (pun obviously intended), my money--err, pie in Zod's coming Huddle wagering system😅), I would pick the latter based upon what I've seen the last couple of years. But, like the writer, Preston Palm✋🏽, says, I'm going to be optimistic. Why not? It's the time of year for it, and I've told y'all before that through my fully grown skepticism, I haven't completely given up on X. I'm rooting for the kid.  X knows he can't have another year like the last, he said it himself: "My main thing is just to have a better year. I can't have another year like last year, I can't do that." He knows what's on the line. He's not dumb, however much some of you want to equate being country, or, more specifically, "talking country," with being dumb (which is kind of dumb in itself, but I digress...). X knows what's on the line, very clearly. As such, he has made some changes according to Palm ✋🏽, "Legette has looked noticeably thinner at minicamp this year and has reportedly dropped 7-9 pounds, which should alleviate some pressure on his hamstrings and not force as much impact on them every route he runs." You see, part of X's problem the last couple of seasons were his hamstrings, and now, he's focused on "bulletproofing" his hammies.  But of course X's journey hasn't just been about physical misfortunes and injuries, he knows that he hasn't displayed the best football, so he's embracing the pressure to perform, and likens it to what he did at USC (the southern version *sarcasm present*) during his time there. He exploded on the scene during his senior year, so hopefully he'll do something similar in year three of the NFL. Though we've recently seen some receivers breakout sooner, many receiver still don't break out until their third season due to the complexity of NFL route trees and such. I've never been an X hater, but I'm a realist. Still, I'm looking for X to make the jump. That would be the best for all involved.

      The two wasted first-round draft picks, Bryce and XL. If they underperform, it's time to cut bait.
