Why I believe the pick will be AR-15

It's not that simple. The game that made me a Richardson believer was his game against FSU. He went 9/27 in that game. So why did it make me a believer? Because I don't think I've ever seen a QB throw so many catchable balls to receivers who couldn't catch a damn thing. Richardson's state sheet lies if you watch the games. Yeah, he needs to get more consistent. But he's not nearly as bad of a thrower of the football as you'd expect just looking at the stats.

Written like someone who actually watched his games instead of glanced at a stat sheet and made an immediate judgement.  He isn't as raw as people think he is.  I wouldn't be upset if he is picked at one.  Young/Stroud are safer but all 3 are exciting, interesting prospects.

Too raw for him to go #1 overall when there are better prospects available. He may have the highest "ceiling" in your opinion but that does not make him the better prospect coming out of college. Let me see you do it in college before I believe you can do it in the NFL. He hasn't thrown for 20 TDs in a single season in college. Does that mean he can't do it at the NFL level? Of course not but there is no guarantee he can either. At least with the other QBs their numbers and play align more with a #1 overall prospect more than Anthony Richardson's does.

His bust % and Youngs are probably both the same. If we don't go Stroud I think I would prefer him to young

David Tepper is. He desperately wants a megastar QB.

Picking a quarterback to sell tickets is a good way to lose football games.

Either way, I don't think Tepper is making the decision.

He should embrace it and instead champion mental health. 

The sissifying of American men financially supported by the rest of the world IS bowing to hate.

Stand up!

He should do whatever he feels it’s right. It’s his life to live as he sees fit. I like him. Seems like a very insightful human.

Not a chance that's happening, picking Richardson over Stroud or Young would go down as one of the biggest blunders in NFL draft history.

I'm surprised it took that long. Every game I've watched of his I've sat up in my chair and thought "Damn".

I've said a few times he's going to get GMs fired. I can see us looking back in 5 years and saying "well it's nice that Stroud is a consistent Top 15 / 20 QB, but how did we pass over league MVP Richardson again?"

It was just the first game I'd watched of his.

He has embraced mental health - he's distanced himself from a (very marketable) nickname that associates him with mass school shootings.

Fair enough - we're on the same page with Richardson.

If you take him you're taking that home run swing (to follow up on that home run swing you took by trading away every-fuging-thing to get to #1 overall).

It's the brass balls on the table, "I trust my expensively assembled coaching staff to improve this player" move - and really it's just the short accuracy you have to work on. That's a footwork issue 'cos he's so inexperienced and was surrounded by dogshit coaches in Florida (and dogshit receivers tbf).

Yeah, his evaluation IMO comes completely down to what you think he has between the ears and how coachable he is because if he can adapt to the NFL from a playbook and reading a defense perspective and work on some technical flaws to become more consistent as a passer then he's gonna be the best NFL QB out of this class.

Insight NOW. Hindsight is more like it. He liked it before. 

You know why. Sissies.

I hope it's up to Reich. I'd love for him to make this guy a home run.

I KNOW Pete Carroll can.
