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.

Similarities for sure but Cam dominated at Auburn like no other player has ever dominated in college football. AR wasn’t that great in college but has huge potential. Who knows if that potential is ever realized.

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.

      Ekwonu doesn’t get dog walked under 2 minutes in the 4th, we drive, kick a FG and win

      How do you expect him to step up in the pocket when Ickey is being pushed to the spot you want him to be. Stills don’t tell the entire picture.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.
