If we get Richardson it is essentially telling the fanbase to check out for the next 1 to 2 seasons. 
I think the FO thinks we are close enough to be ready to be a playoff team next season even with a rookie QB. 
No way they get Richardson and expect the fanbase and Tepper to just patiently wait till he is ready. Which may be never. 
If we were still at 9 or if we had an incumbent starter who is aging out and we needed to find his long term replacement I would be okay with Richardson. 
But not at #1 and not with Dalton as a potential starter. 
We need a rookie with potential to start day one.

Especially after bringing in the guys we did on offense. Why waste them?

Right now, my expectations basically breakdown:

50% Young

45% Stroud

5% Richardson

Anyone else would be absolutely shocking.

Mine are

80% Young

15% Richardson

5% Stroud 

 

It’s hard to put a percentage number on the power of reason #2

This isnt a awful idea. The huddle will hate it because its a gamble. Boom or bust.l.. No middle ground.But your talking about a guy with unseen talent in a class where there is no sure fire number 1 guy. There are safe and decent prospects but no cant miss. At Young and Strouds best thats what they are.... AT ARs best hes a generational talent. 

I almost pie'd this.

To me if Richardson anywhere near pans out he's a superstar. That said the more I watch Stroud (and specifically his trajectory) the more I think he could easily be a perennial top 10 QB in the NFL.

I think Young will bust - but I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

You deserve your right to your opinion, and unlike some Huddlers, you provide your reasons for your thinking.  I am sorry you were called an idiot for thinking this--our moderators should not tolerate that, according to what they have said in the past.

Having said that, I think this is a stretch.

I really like this reply

Josh Norris has said a few times he regrets choosing to do the Purdy breakdown with Mccown over the Richardson video because he would have gotten so many clicks.

If it’s Richardson at least we are swinging for the fences, I’ll be sad it’s not Bryce because the more I watch I see Greatness, but Richardson would be fun in the unlikely circumstance we do go that way.

Why waste what? We've simply upgraded our WR and TE rooms to lower-mid league standard.

It had to be done regardless of who we drafted to play QB.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
