Did we just pass drafting Cam Newton Jr….

AR was who I wanted and I would be absolutely and unquestionably ecstatic right now had we took him, regardless of what we looked like in the preseason.  The concerns I have about Bryce now are the same ones I had before we drafted him and once we selected him, and they have me legitimately concerned that we may have really took the wrong guy - but again, I'm hoping for the best.  But ngl, seeing AR play into his potential is going to be very hard to watch over the years regardless of how Bryce looks, because even if Bryce plays up to his potential, the physical limitations are still there - but if Bryce consistently wins, it will hurt a little less...  but, damn, AR is a lot more fun to watch.

Cam was so insanely far ahead in his development than Cam at this same stage of their careers. It remains to be seen if and when Richardson is able to close that gap.

I am extremely skeptical Richardson is anything more than just a freak athlete masquerading as a QB.

Out of interest, how was Newton more advanced in his development?

He was a much better passer and could read the field better. Many people thought AR needed a year to sit because he is still pretty raw as a passer. AR isn’t dropping 4000 passing yards like Cam did his 16 game rookie season.

AR wasn’t that great in college. Look at his stats. I wonder how he can dominate at the pro level when he didn’t dominate at the college level. He’s a freak athlete that’s for sure.

Cam had the athleticism  coming out of college but was also a Heisman trophy winner and the best player in college.  

Richardson looked like hot garbage at Florida on most days.   

Not saying he won't develop into a legitimate NFL quarterback, but comparing him to Cam Newton at this junction is just dumb and disrespectful to Cam.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
