Yeah. It's Stroud.

I wonder if they take him out to dinner after the pro day? I just find it odd they did it with Levis but not with AR.

Not everyone was available. I suspect they will though.

Since people love this comparison, you know how many members of Cam Newton’s offense at Auburn got drafted (besides Cam)? 1. Lee Ziemba. Yet Cam still put them on his back and carried them to a national title. That’s a dude that has “it”. Richardson ain’t it.

Weird comparison. Nobody said Richardson is Cam Newton. He just has some of his traits.

 

Cam was arguably the most dominating college player in history. He really was a man amongst boys.

AR is so tantalizing.  He already has a floor of one of the best running QBs ever. We know he has the arm. If he gets the passing figured you are talking of best athletes ever to play QB. If they took him at 1 I wouldn't hate it. Swing for the fences.

I think this is the likely outcome.  

I know we won’t draft him one overall, but man, if the team views Levis higher than AR, that’s what bugs me. Granted, none of this matters, I have a feeling it’s stroud or young anyway.

Newton ran a completely different offence at Auburn, one that highlighted the absolute mismatch he was in the run game. 

Florida asked Richardson to drop back and read the coverage far more. 

I see why people lazily compare them, because they're both athletic freaks, but I think they're wildly different QBs.

Probably, but Richardson is the only one that excites me from this QB Draft class. 

It'll be telling if they arrange a post Pro Day meal or not with him.

He's planning on a 30 visit at the least. That might be more of a film/board day

Look at it like horse racing, the draft trade to 1st overall represents a huge pile of your eggs being wagered. 

AR is too much a long shot to bet huge to win. Maybe you play a place or show bet, but putting huge amounts down, you want the safer bet.  Better chance to win, means less chance to lose. 

Spending the 9th would be a different story.
My preference would be to place a longer odds bet on a guy at 9 (rather than to bet so much we are afraid to place on what we think could be the fastest horse).

Unlike horse racing, you can win the same amount betting 5 bet or 50 if you choose wisely. Years of picks, or a 3rd rounder, pay the same when they hit. 

If we're playing this game: I think Richardson is the HR swing. I think Stroud is the line drive double.

AR-Home run swing

Young-triple down the line

Stroud- double in the gap

Levis-swing and miss

True to an extent. We do know he had a 53% completion percentage. I find it difficult to believe he applied himself as fully as say Bryce Young or CJ Stroud, especially given his immense physical talent.

Completion percentage doesn't matter. Holton Ahlers(67.2%) had a higher completion percentage than Stroud(66.3%) and Young(64.5%) last year. Does that mean Ahlers applied himself more than Stroud and Young? No, it's just a report of how often the WRs/TEs/RBs caught passes no matter how good or bad they were thrown, and not a measure of how good or accurate a passer the QB is. Which makes no sense why it's a QB stat.

[CamWhoaaCam]

Going to be interesting to see how accurate he is tomorrow. He's definitely an intriguing prospect given his insane athletic ability.

 

Frank has never had a QB with those skill sets. He's getting older so he might want to go out trying something bold.

 

Im not writing off AR as of now. I think we will know for sure closer to the draft who are our finalists.

He had Andrew Luck.
