you can't teach speed and size....  the rest can be taught by Reich, Dalton, Caldwell, Brown

 

Would not be surprised at the least AR15 is the pick

I disagree.   Processing speed cant be taught for example.

Passing accuracy isn't something you see a lot of improvement in either.

People will point to Josh Allen as an example but I don't really know how valid that is.

And to be clear completion percentage doesn't really measure accuracy. There's a lot of other factors in that number.

He's worth the wait. 

They didn’t give up what they did to trade up to #1 overall to draft a project. But hey, who knows what they’re thinking. 

I don’t dislike Richardson. He will probably have flashes of greatness in the NFL early in his career. His athleticism is off the charts. But there have been many QB prospects like him before that only have a good deep ball and running ability who flame out of the NFL before their second contract. If he was the pick at #9, I would have been fine with it.

Like I said before there’s a real chance Richardson is on his 2nd or 3rd team before he puts it together, like Geno Smith. That’s not a player you draft #1 overall. 
 

I would say Richardson is a bit more raw than Fields coming out. I don’t want another run first, first read pass guy. I’m ready for great passing. That is what wins playoff games. Richardson is nowhere near the level of Cam Newton coming out of Auburn. Cam was a true dual threat until he got injured in 16/17.

Dude, the last qb prospects close to Richardson was Cam Newton and Donavan McNabb. His floor is another Josh Allen.  His Ceiling is whatever he wants to be.

You think he only has a good deep ball and running ability?

Interesting...

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By countryboi · Posted

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
