Todd McShay seems to really like Anthony Richardson

It’s like Lance and Allen would be the only comps if he actually goes that high.

Lance was much better in college than AR. Only Allen sucked that bad in college.

Guys like Richardson need good coaching to reach their potential. If Matt Rhule (or even Ron Rivera) were still calling shots I'd be terrified of drafting him in round 1 because I don't think either coach would handle him correctly. The thought of him playing under Reich, Caldwell, Brown, and McCown is a entirely different matter. Any QB they draft, sign, or mentor (Matt Corrall) is going to get better. That's why I'm totally cool with staying at 9 or maybe moving up a 2-3 slots at most.

We are on the same wave here, I think, no I know there have already been talks with seahags have been made. The the issue is when bears trade that pick, 99.9% that team will draft a QB. Now if its texans or colts, the Seattle pick is still in play. Zona and bears *should* be drafting defense studs. The other two picks *should* be QBs...........That brings the Seattle 5th pick into the spotlight.

Thats the read I got along with the hope...... Got to pray to the football gods that Stround or AR and maybe even Levis is still undrafted......

It's all situational.  Lance played for a team heads and shoulders above all their competition at NDSU.  AR played much tougher competition with a Florida team that just blew up after Mullens was fired not to mention battling through injuries and the OC limiting AR's running plays due to injuries and lack of depth.  Switch rosters and competition and who knows how differently these two QBs would look.  The good news is professional scouts and NFL staff are going to be able to make a much better judgement that we can as fans and we actually have a solid staff in place for a change to do so.

Yeah I was referencing some stat I read on here about adjusted completion percentage the year before they went pro but I realize that was trying to claim Lances one game that last year as the last season. You are right.

If Reich, Caldwell, McCown, AND Brown are on board, I’m not gonna sit behind a keyboard and pretend I know more than that braintrust.

 

If it were last regime on the other hand..

Just from watching his film you can see he has the most potential of all the QB's in this draft.

 

If this kid can get coached up he could be something scary. At the same time he could also be a bust. That talent is no good if you aren't trying to be coached up.

 

He reminds me of a poor mans Cam.

Between Bully and that guy who was hyper focused on the way Richardson speaks you can tell ten plus years hasn't made a huge difference with some people.

If AR is the only top four QB at 9 then keep all picks and draft Stetson Bennett late. Much better QB. Reminds me of Brees. Smart and can make the throws. Plays big in big games.

Serious time:

Other than those flashy highlight reels from YT ... just what is it about AR that is blinding some of you? He has barely played two full seasons of college ball. Where does this potential everyone hypes up come from? So much so, you claim he has the most potential out of any QB in the Draft (huge lol btw). Is he tall? Sure ... but not the tallest. Does he have the size? Sure ... but so do others. Does he have a good arm? Yep ... but so do others. Can he run it? Yep. Cool. So ... just what are you AR fans going off of? I really, really want to know.
