More importantly accuracy and touch are two of the more difficult things to teach QBs. Particularly if you have to breakdown a lifetime of muscle memory (footwork, release etc) to do it.
And in ARich’s case, his short area accuracy issues have been largely attributed to his footwork, which is coachable.
I’m not making a sweeping generalization, I’m specking to this one player based on what I’ve read/heard from scouts and writers who are far more adept than myself who made this observation.
In general I’d agree. But specific to ARich, his deep accuracy is reportedly pretty solid., even on the move.
Time will tell if those observers are correct. I’m optimistic.
Short ball accuracy requires touch passing as well as excellent ball placement.
If he's used throwing full bore 50 yards down field and doing the same 7 yards down field that isn't an easy coaching fix. It may be fixable but it really depends on correctly diagnosing the exact nature of the problem, the correct fix and the coachability of the player.
The good news is by all accounts Richardson has a great work ethic.
But all the theory in the world goes out the window when Jeffery Simmons is coming at you full bore ready to steal your lunch money.
And "experts" are looking for likes just like the rest of us. Ask 30 of them and see if you get a consensus on what Richardson's issues are and how to fix them.
