QB Anthony Richardson, IND (2 Viewers)

[JohnnyU]

Jim Nagy on Sirius was suggesting AR could be a slide that nobody in the media is expecting. Interesting.

Basically, Malik willis 2.0

Honestly I think he should slide. Sure he can become a human highlight reel. More likely he’s yet another supremely gifted athlete who doesn’t put it together. You take him top 16 and doesn’t develop, at least a few jobs should be lost. Of course if he does, the sky is the limit.
There’s been more scuttle about the titans taking him in the last few days. I could almost accept the risk at 11, but not if they trade up.

I think Seattle is perfect for him. Lions might work too.

I agree with the Seahawks and Lions. I think the Vikings make sense too (for Richardson & Levis)

It appears the Colts will take Levis. Or it all could be a smokescreen.

Whens the last time a team came out and told us what they are doing?

I agree, but if it’s a QB they want at #4, then Levis seems to be the logical pick. However, if either Stroud or Young falls, then that changes everything. Personally, I think they should draft BPA instead of Levis.

Aaaaaaand how do we know they would be willing to even bother with one of these QBs at 4??

After several years of Vets past their prime it is assumed they will go the draft route. Of course anything is possible however, and like I said, if it comes down to Levis or AR I hope the go a different direction.

Will the fans be okay with Minshew as the #1 going into the season? I wouldn't. I'm not a believer in Minshew. IMO he's JAG with hilarious fashion sense and a moustache to kill for. That's great if he's running the team's social media but at QB, IMO it's essentially giving up on the season before it even starts.

How is he being viewed in Indy?

From the outside, after the past four seasons Indy really seems like a team, more than any other, that needs to make an effort to find their long term QB right now.

Go with Minshew, then tank for Caleb Williams If you don’t get Stroud or Young. Big risk, but they were successful doing so for Luck, even if he didn’t play long enough.

It's only assumed because they need a QB. We can't assume they like any of the QBs who will be available. You don't just take a guy to take a guy. Trade down to the 20s and take Hooker then, and get back another 1st for next year.
Pick 4 on a blah QB hurts more than it helps

 

[Chaka]

Relevant to the article / reasons he’d fall are very similar: Raw, both athletic (AR more so of course), inaccurate, didn’t show nearly enough in college to warrant a high pick.

Meh, IMO articles like that are space fillers for the quiet times.

Is the article sincerely suggesting Richardson could fall to round 3? Now, that would be a shock. There was some talk about Willis in the first round but it was nowhere near what we are hearing about Richardson.

Levis seems like the guy that may drop. No one seems to be seriously suggesting him as a surprise #1 overall pick and very few are even suggesting he will go before Richardson.

Then again maybe that's the smokescreen.

Bottom line I am not concerned if two unrelated data sets (Willis/Richardson) can be argued to maybe, possibly follow a similar trajectory down a meaningless pathway (i.e. ultimate draft position).

The only thing I am looking for are any similar data sets (i.e. on field similarities) and how those panned out on the NFL field. That's why I like Allen and Pryor as on-field comps for Richardson.

One success, one failure. Though I would argue Pryor was about 4 years ahead of his time. IMO he would easily be the #1 overall player if he were coming out in 2023.

I see that but Minshew is just competent enough to mess up that plan. How does the Colts draft capital shape up for 2024?

 

[Ben & Jerry's]

ESPN's Matt Miller reports the Colts have QB Will Levis ahead of QB Anthony Richardson because Levis is "more likely to play right away."​

With the fourth pick of the first round, the Colts are almost certain to select a quarterback, and it seems Levis' pro readiness makes him the favorite to go ahead of the rawer Richardson, who blew away scouts at the NFL Combine. Levis would compete with Gardner Minshew for Week 1 starting duties in Indianapolis and would eventually become the team's starter if Minshew lands the Week 1 gig and struggles for a stretch. The inaccurate Levis would likely be bad news for Michael Pittman and the rest of the Colts' pass catchers.

Matt Miller has no idea what the Colts are thinking.

The Colts currently have all their picks in 2024. No picks from other teams yet that I know of.

Nobody does and I like it that way.

 

[massraider]

How is he more advanced? He is a 53% passer with serious accuracy issues. If he is more advanced it isn’t by much.

Because that's one stat, and people have been burned by not looking beyond one stat.

I just think the comparison to Allen is wearing rose colored glasses. Allen at least looked like a decent QB at times and didn’t have the quality coaching and facilities AR had.
He simply hasn’t shown the most important aspects of being a QB.

BUT, that said, if he gets a coordinator or QB coach of Daboll quality he might be able to develop similarly.

Till it’s not. There used to be a minimum of games started, and everyone KNEW you needed a two year starter. Now it doesn’t matter. Accuracy matters, but let’s be honest, people don’t look beyond that number.

Lamar was at 59%, and that was a problem, because it wasn’t 60%, or 65%. Josh Allen.
etc etc etc

But then we get to the question about the level of competition between Wyoming & Florida.

And I'm hardly sold on Billy Napier's staff. Are you?

The more I look at Daniel Jones the more I think Daboll was instrumental in Allen's success.

Richardson under Steichen is a reason to be optimistic. Probably in Detroit too. Not sure about Houston, Las Vegas or Tennessee but definitely less optimistic.

[massraider]

I wouldn’t be nonchalant about it either

I'm not bullish on Richardson. It's a risk, only one year.
But the fact is, Levis wasn't starting at this age. Accuracy is mitigated when the QB can run 50 yards. RBs that play with running QBs suddenly average 5 ypc.

The accuracy seems to be the only negative. And I think it is possible it's not as important as it was 20 years ago.

Tell you what, Bryce Young being the size as a keychain is a bigger negative to me than Richardson's accuracy.

I think people are way too forgiving of Young's frame. How can someone so slight possibly hold up against some of the monsters that will be coming after him?

 

[BobbyLayne]

What would be a better landing spot for Richardson's development?

• Going to a team in the Top 4 that will expect him to start Y1?
• Sitting behind a Geno Smith or Jared Goff for 1-2 years?

I would think reps are what this guy needs more than anything, but could see either scenario working out.

Option 2 - A year behind Goff/Geno type. I think the year to understand, grow, develop and learn "how to be coached" at the professional level would do great things for his long term development and skill.

Option 1 = See David Carr

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Florida QB Anthony Richardson is meeting with the Titans.​

The Titans remain a team to watch with the draft fast approaching. Currently holding the No. 11 pick, the Titans have been one of several teams linked to a potential trade with the Cardinals to move up to the third pick of the draft. While it's possible Richardson could slip to the Titans at the 11th spot, his soaring draft stock could land him inside the top 10. The Titans have Ryan Tannehill under contract for this season, but no long-term solution at quarterback. While the team could opt to continue developing Malik Willis, Richardson's ceiling could entice the Titans to move up ahead of the draft.

Has to be this. All the learning he can do sitting for a year will be way more valuable and healthy for him than immediate game time likely under duress when he’s not ready, with the possible ramification of irreparable mental damage

NFL Draft Rumors: Some Think Seahawks Will Pick Anthony Richardson If QB's Available

 

[Faust]

Why Is Anthony Richardson Suddenly The NFL Draft's Hottest Prospect?

 

[Faust]

Sports Ilustrated's Albert Breer said he "wouldn't rule out" the Seahawks taking Florida QB Anthony Richardson in the 2023 NFL Draft.​

Breer reports Seahawks general manager John Schneider and head coach Pete Carroll "really liked Josh Allen a few years ago, and there are some parallels with [Richardson], including the fact that they wouldn’t have to rush him out onto the field as a rookie." Richardson, who completed 54 percent of his passes for 17 touchdowns while rushing for 654 yards and nine scores in his final collegiate season, is among the most polarizing draft prospects in recent memory. The Seahawks' ability to sit Richardson -- the most athletic NFL quarterback of all time, according to most measurements -- behind Geno Smith for a season and develop the rookie could make Seattle the most likely landing spot for the Florida QB. It's worth noting the Titans, who have the 11th pick in the draft, hosted a top-30 visit with Richardson in mid-April.

I agree but when it comes to physical attributes I don't think the NFL has seen a QB with his size speed combo.

He's what happens when Cam Newton & Mike Vick have a kid.

His risks are massive but his physical attributes, for a QB, are fairly unique. I see, and have said multiple times in here that, IMO, Josh Allen and Terrell Pryor are the best comps physically for Richardson.

 

[Mister CIA]

Jim Nagy on Sirius was suggesting AR could be a slide that nobody in the media is expecting. Interesting.

Basically, Malik willis 2.0

Honestly I think he should slide. Sure he can become a human highlight reel. More likely he’s yet another supremely gifted athlete who doesn’t put it together. You take him top 16 and doesn’t develop, at least a few jobs should be lost. Of course if he does, the sky is the limit.
There’s been more scuttle about the titans taking him in the last few days. I could almost accept the risk at 11, but not if they trade up.

I think Seattle is perfect for him. Lions might work too.

I agree with the Seahawks and Lions. I think the Vikings make sense too (for Richardson & Levis)

It appears the Colts will take Levis. Or it all could be a smokescreen.

Whens the last time a team came out and told us what they are doing?

Mario. I remember a few years where we knew the 1.01 before the draft started. IIRC Jake long even had a deal in place. Of course that was before the rookie cap.

Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer reports an NFC pass game coordinator said Florida QB Anthony Richardson's accuracy is "scary."​

“The short accuracy is so scary. You’ve really got a project in him," the source told Breer. "And the accuracy, you can develop it, OK, but a guy who’s accurate is usually accurate coming out of high school and college, and he isn’t. Even Josh Allen, you look at him coming out of Wyoming, he had solid mechanics coming out, and he just had to tweak it. You watch it with this guy, and there are times when he fits it into tight windows, and maybe you can tap into that. But he’s a project. And the hit on it could be huge, because you don’t just find guys like this.” While Richardson struggled with short-area accuracy in Florida's basic passing scheme, he was excellent on longer throws. His "big-time deep throw" rate in college -- as measured by Pro Football Focus -- was in line with Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud, and better than Justin Herbert and Deshaun Watson. Richardson completed 42 percent of his attempts of more than 20 yards in 2022, the 21st highest rate among all FBS quarterbacks. Whichever team takes Richardson, the most athletic QB in NFL history, will certainly work tirelessly to clean up his shorter throws.

"The physical talent is so good, he becomes top-five in the NFL at any position if he matches what he should be. ... He's the most talented player in this draft at the QB position."

My only concern with Richardson is that he's so sexy that he gets an X rated label and is banned from entering some states.

This thread, after a Pro Bowl season when he's 23 years old:

I don't know, has he maxed out? I dunno if I wanna commit long term. He only threw 29 TDs! Sure, he ran for 1,000 yards, but will his passing get better??
