He's worth the wait. 

Truthfully, with this staff, I don't think Richardson's wait is '24. 

I do believe Dalton would start, but Richardson would be a mid-late '23 starter.....maybe game 9 or 10. I do believe Young/Stroud would be week one starters though.

I also agree that Richardson is in a tier below BY and CJ7 and you don't move up to #1 overall for AR. However, it could also be argued that if AR is "their guy" and the pricetag from 1 to 3 is about the same, why risk losing out on your guy if IND or LV also likes AR and moves up to #1 overall ahead of you.

Again, I think CJ or BY is our choice, but AR isn't that far off.

He's by far the most talented and physically gifted qb in this draft and it's not even close actually. 

Mental processing, accuracy, pocket awareness, etc. are all forms of talent and both Young and CJ smoke him in those areas. Most physically gifted yes, most upside because of that sure. But most talented, no. He needs a ton of work to have any NFL success.

Arizona wanted pretty much what we gave up for 1 to get their 3rd.

Upside has gotten a lot of people fired...

You can say that about any of the QBs or any other prospect honestly. There's no Peyton Manning, Julius Peppers, or Calvin Johnson in this draft.

Sure, comparing them to HOF.. but with what's available in this class AR would seem like a reach.  I'd be ecstatic if we took him at 9.

Maybe for Bryce but Stroud struggles against any kind of pressure what so ever and this is clear as day on tape.

 His mental processing and pocket awareness aren't that good Nfl wise. He's accurate for sure and he can make every throw, but he's going to have a learning curve unless he always has a clean pocket. 

 

The concern with Young is size and that's pretty much it. 

 

The concern with AR is can he put it all together but he's another prospect you'll have to design a playbook around. 

 

Young is the cleanest qb prospect in this draft if you don't mind his size...if you do then the other three have serious question marks in the NFL. 

 

So you take the one with the most upside and that's clearly AR, otherwise you take Young.

Indy loves him, wouldn't have been available at 9. Maybe Levi's would have been but that's the only qb that would've fallen that far imo.

    • Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself. 
    • Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.
    • That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
