Anthony Richardson declares for the draft

[SOJA]

At this point I think he is a realistic option for us as I think we will be out of Young and Stroud range. The argument for him over Levis is they are both projects but Richardson potential is through the fuging roof

Dude has some GREAT pocket awareness, feels pressure well and moves around to avoid defenders while keeping his eyes downfield. He even steps up in the pocket instead of bailing backwards.

Dude has a canon arm too. Like flick of the wrist and ball goes 50 yards. 

He has all the potential in the world to be a great QB, but would we have the staff to develop him?

He can't hit the broadside of a barn

 

What good is a cannon if you miss?

If we are going to go, might as well go hard.  Roll the dice with this kid and see what happens.   fug it, the way I see it, its either we win the lottery or a total reset in 3 years.

And age. Also Richardson was the best player on the team, his WR's let him down a lot. Levis looked like a bad QB on a bad team this year.

Hell, if he interviews well it wouldn't be surprising to see him go top 10.

Maybe. I've think he's be a top 15 guy and just out of the top 10 even if he interviews extremely well. Though this could change if Stroud looks really bad in the playoffs against Georgia and teams look elsewhere.

It's going to depend on our next coach.

The athletic talent is tantalizing.  Dude has all of the tools.  Were he struggles related to a lack of talent and execution on the team or how much of that was on his own?

I actually made an effort to watch some Florida ball this year for him specifically.  I have no idea =P  Like you can see the tools.  Man, he's got some gifts!  But I saw a bunch of times when he's throwing layups where he missed a dude by 10 feet.  How much of that is on him versus the play or his teammate?

That's what makes picking a QB hard.  If we drafted him, I'd be excited for him and us.  But again, I have no idea how it's going to go for him in the run up to the draft.  Like most QBs, he'll be pushed up.

Welp there goes our next 10 years. 

We will probably draft this scrub and suck for a very long time.

He's a better prospect than your boy Grayson.

The Panthers drafting Richardson or Young might make your head explode.

His bust factor is absolutely astronomical. 

It will be interesting to see this play out.

But his hit may be the adverse.  Could be a josh allen nfc clone if done correctly.  Odds are squarely against that but fug it, lets have some fun.   At the baseline, the absolute baseline, he would put fannies in seats and at least be interesting for a short period.   I think once people start watching his highlights and see just how big and fast he is along with probably a top 3 arm in the nfl then folks are going to start to take notice

The Coastal QB, whatever his name is.  You've been hyping him up lately.

He's definitely boom or bust. That said, outside the top 5 or 10(depending on the rest of the prospects), I'd take the chance if I was a GM.

Lol I never have.

I wanted Penix in the 2nd.

The Coastal kid doesn't have enough velocity. I've been saying that all season.

I'm in the wait till next year camp

That's about where I'm at.  I'd use a 2nd on him.
