Opposing Defensive Coordinator: "I wonder if Richardson has any running ability."
Jim Bob Cooter: "QB runs and scrambling will always be a part of Richardson's game."
Opposing Defensive Coordinator: "Whew. Thanks Jim Bob. I almost ignored Richardson as a runner. Close call."

Full participant today. Hopefully that means he is good to go for clearing the protocol.

Fan since I did my annual college prospects research. Love this dude's game, except for one fatal flaw I noticed in his college tape and NFL preseason. He does not actively avoid collisions. I think he thinks that b/c he is so big that he can overpower everyone when he turns RB. He can't. Not in the SEC and definitely not in the NFL. Either he'll get past this particular hubris or it will ruin him. Again, I am a huge fan of his game - he is a unicorn. But ARich needs to recognize which battles are worth it and which aren't.

i got a handful of leagues where i punted qb for a bit and took richardson and backed him up with tua or purdy. he won't go in over tua but even with in the purdy ones i think i have to wait a week if arich is cleared. i honestly think my best hope with arich is to sell high when i can cause my backup plans panned out

Hopefully he learned a lesson with this injury. He seemed to slow down a bit and let his guard down. Cant do that in this league. If he stays healthy he should be a beast!

I'm glad you saw that...seemed to me he let off the gas as he was crossing the plane and got wacked.
He learns his lesson.eagles 123

Arrow pointing up if he seizes the moment this week, schedule this year is looking very favorable.

And so we gather...
-MoP big critic but about to rip the roof off here
-Many will ask why now? MoP Jr, already has a frontline QB but he says "Pops, why keep Player X as a back up, this dude just got released and if he hits..."
...wait for it....wait for it, like yeah if you have the kind of team MoP Jr terms as "Candy" for the back up QB then pull the bleeping trigger
Anyone who thinks I'm sleeping or holding on to summer thinking obviously did not read/participate in the JAX-INDY thread week 1
-Please do not shut down discussion from both sides, open minds are like parachutes, typically only work when they are OPEN and it's a 2-Way Street
@Faust obviously not directed at you, thanks for the updates and INFO
Cheers!

I'm not going to lie. I have no idea what you just said. Starting Richardson with confidence. Richardson about to feast.

I have no idea, but I think....I think.....he's saying hold on to your back-ups because Richardson will get hurt again. I think, but I have no clue.
If so, he's not wrong, if that's how you roll. Richardson looks absolutely fantastic, but the way he takes hits, you have to assume some injuries are coming.
But I think it's league and personal preference dependent. I don't trust Richardson to make it through any week, but I despise burning roster spots on back-up QB's.
In a 12-team one-QB non-superflex, whatever, the WW is the bench for QB's. It doesn't matter too much If you get the runt of the Baker/Stafford litter.

I was referencing this Billy Madison quote. "Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."WTF are you guys talking about, besides talking to the third person in the room?Oh I think you know exactly what I said, just hard to accept, I understand

I am a dude who thinks AR’s ceiling is ridiculously high. But two things have to happen.
1. Improve his accuracy.
2. Stay healthy
The early issue that lingers is #2. I have little doubt he can improve on #1 long term.
But #2 has proven to be a pot hole for him throughout his high school/college and now pro career.
But he is a freakish athlete at the QB position with a big time work ethic.

Simply stopped in to see what condition A-Rich's condition was in. Nice that he will suit up. Too bad I started Jordan Love this week because he's my backup. Ooof.
Poor timing. I've had A-Rich for four weeks now, and only started him once. He left that game with a concussion. Ay de mi.
MoP makes a good -- if indecipherable until pollardsvision translated -- point that you'll need to carry a backup if you want to roster A-Rich as your number one guy. Rostering backups takes up a precious roster spot depending on how deep your league is.
Good point.

Love looked like a bad start this week but he did end up with 19 so not the worst. In my dynasty league I had the same decision and rolled the dice on AR getting cleared instead of starting love Thursday.

My backup to ARich is Herbert. Has worked well so far.
Hugsy_Malone
Footballguy
Herbert didn't fall that far, did he? Or you didn't reach for ARich like that, did you?
I guess what I'm trying to say is that you didn't take ARich before Herbert, right?
If so -- and assuming you took ARich when he was reasonably expected to go -- that would be very fortuitous for you.

It's not unreasonable but ATM Lamar is one of the few guys you probably have to start. But Richardson has made that choice difficult.

Not more worrisome than playing Fields.

I would just like to see him finish a game where he is the starting Quarterback
-2 week concussion protocol where he had to signal to the team that something was not right
I continue to find this story disturbing
I wonder how many players do not signal and go unchecked or undiagnosed

Denver has allowed 105 points in their last 2 games vs a challenged Washington offense that just got ripped 37-3 last weekend
Denver allowed 35 to Sam Howell
If you didn't catch the game or didn't hear, Miami pasted on 70 last weekend.
Denver is now on the road again this week
You are going to bench Fields vs that soft serve ice cream, you might as well just cut him
I took Herbert in the 5th and ARich in the 12th of a 12 team league. Herbert was the 7th QB off the board. I'd say as of now, I nailed the QBs in my draft.

I just wanted to spell out what you are deciding,
I doubt you are the only person with this choice today
Rams Defense
Geno Smith Week 1 was held in check
Brock Purdy Week 2, Niners did put up 30, CMC was a decent size chunk of the offense
Joe Burrow-They did hold Cinci down but couldn't pull out the win, lose 19-16 IIRC
ARich would be next, Rookie QB, has not been able to finish a game yet and coming off concussion protocol
But he's likely better than whatever is on your waiver wire
It's FF and it's supposed to be fun, my son reminds me of this often.
Roll the dice on ARich, he had an extra week off, more time to prepare and review his first couple weeks in the NFL

First 2 games were division games. Rams know both those teams very well. Bengals game was close but Burrow was not operating at 100%. The upside here is 2019 Lamar Jackson against the Rams.

If Richardson had actually finished a game this season, I would probably choose him but since he hasn't, it's Lamar.

Sometimes, you just shouldn't overthink things. I'm glad I didn't here.

To be fair Lamar was the right choice but Richardson still had a pretty monster game as well.
He makes it tough. I benched him for Cousins & Hurts, it was the right call but didn't work out. This kid is dynamic AF.
