[WUnderhill]

I can see some of you want big man run fast no matter what so we’ll just see come draft day.

Did Will Levis have such a markedly better cast around him? He managed to complete 65% and I don’t see anybody banging the Levis drum. Maybe AR doesn’t throw a very catchable ball.

Will Levis threw a lot of screens from what I watched. I don't know if someone wants to find their passing charts for last year, but I would be Will's depth of through was much shorter. Also, Will Levis has played for multiple years in the college. In his first two years he had a 59% and 60% completion percentage, and then improved.

Cam didn't need much around him at the NFL level either. Cam is a different breed. 

Our record during the Newton years would suggest otherwise.

Every quarterback needs a strong supporting cast. Newton was no exception. Neither is Richardson.

I don't know if you throw dice with the #1 pick and hope it rolls your way.

I don’t believe it would be rolling the dice in him: this is just one example, but he has all the traits to be elite. His situation in Florida wasn’t the best, with our coaching staff, this kid will be special. Again, I dont think we take him, but there is a solid argument to. Great twitter thread on how good he can/will be at the pro level.

Fans like exciting players.

Coaches and personnel guys know that exciting players aren't always the best players.

One throw in a year full of bad ones does not make him ready. Okay, he did there, but can he do it consistently, that's what matters.

My question is why are you comparing him to Cam?

 

Cam didn't need much around him at the NFL level either. Cam is a different breed. 

Idk what you want from me, you aren’t reading my posts. Yes, Cam is a different breed, that is the whole point. We are drafting #1 overall, not #9, we should be looking for a different breed type guy. Young has “it”, Stroud has been so good he’s hard to overlook. I don’t think Richardson has “it”, or at least he hasn’t shown it if he does, he’s got more questions, and WAY worse tape.

AR15 is NOT Cam

Cam had the greatest single season in college football history until Joe Burrow (and you could argue that Cam's was better because Burrow played with an NFL roster and Cam dragged Auburn with no names)

Cam had the CAMBACK

 

AR15 STRUGGLED against a 1-11 South Florida team

AR15 != Cam

That thread wasn’t just one throw, he cites and shows other examples. Dan Orlovsky has done the same thing on his twitter. Every qb has bad throws, ARs get magnified.

Isn't this coaching staff, with their centuries of experience, the right staff to develop Richardson?

It doesn't sound like they are interested in drafting someone they can't start right away. They are priming this team to win now.

If they draft him, the goal will be to start him day 1. Dalton is there in case he's not ready, but I think they won't be wanting to let him sit a year. They'd come up with an offense built around what he can and can't do right now and develop him as they go, adding things to the offense as he progresses.
