Anthony Richardson Film Breakdown Megathread
Mr. Scot replied to Ricky Spanish's topic in Carolina Panthers
-
Nah, he actually meant #2. It was pure speculation, and per his own admission unlikely, but that's what he said. Reading between the lines of some of his more recent stuff, I think he's regretting that he ever said it
-
Try applying that principle to this forum
-
Funny you should mention... Caplan points out that if Richardson slides out of the top ten and the Texans don't take a quarterback second overall, they could conceivably pick him up at #12. Wouldn't that be interesting
-
He threw it out as kind of a "what if" thing. He actually seems to be kind of regretting it now (I think both Richardson fans and Stroud fans are pestering him about it) When asked, he said he still believes the pick would be either Young or Stroud... most likely Young.
-
I would start my negotiation with "so we've been talking to the Colts". Hell, I'd call the Colts just to scare the sh-t out of the Texans
-
Kaye says what a lot of people are thinking...
-
They moved Judge to quarterback coach? I missed that. Oh, lordy
-
Agree completely
-
It's been said before, but our current front office and coaching staff seem to be very good at keeping things out of the news. Pretty much everything we're hearing is speculation.
-
Seriously
-
My dream? No. I already gave you mine. But if the team actually managed to get their franchise quarterback and get extra picks In the process, especially something like a future first rounder, you'd have to explain to me what about that scenario would be bad. (keeping in mind that the "what if it's a bad pick" question isn't really valid because that can happen either way)
-
Nothing would tickle me more than us picking the right guy. I don't care whether it's at #1, #2 or #80.
-
Oh, I'm not missing the point you're trying to make. The point you're trying to make is wrong. Taking the wrong guy is devastating either way. If we pick Young and he busts, then people are going to point to everything we traded to get to #1 and laugh.
-
That's kind of the point
-
Eeehhh, I don't know that they're "pipe dreams". I wouldn't predict anything like that happening, but it's not that farfetched.
-
If we pick Bryce, he doesn't pan out and CJ does, same result. I see it a lot, but the idea that the whole "what if we make a bad pick" idea only applies to a trade down scenario is kind of silly. We could absolutely stay at #1 and still blow it. Young is no more a guaranteed success than Stroud.
-
Pick 12 seems to be a non-negotiable for the folks who would accept this trade. It's kind of begs the question, if we did get that pick, who would you take with it?
-
Getting a franchise quarterback that you wanted anyway while also recouping some of the draft capital you gave up would make someone a laughingstock? Hell, that's genius.
-
We done know any of that for certain though...
-
See above Besides the "Young or nobody" stories, You've got the added drama of Caserio rumored to be on the way out. (he denies it, but of course he would) If that's true, he could definitely be looking to make a big splash on his way out the door.
-
Always. And if the stories that the Texans are so high on Young and nobody else that they won't take a quarterback at #2 are true, I'd start off by asking for the moon
-
Like Manning and Leaf, though if that's how it turns out I hope we get the "Manning" of this draft. It is, of course, possible that both guys will turn out to be great quarterbacks. It feels like very few of the debates even acknowledge that as a possibility.
-
If we keep #1 and that pick turns out bad, we live in "eternal regret". Making a bad pick is an equal problem no matter where it's made.
