I don't think the people down on Richardson have watched the 'film'.

I did. I saw a young, raw qb put up good numbers against Utah. He then completed 40% of his passes against Kentucky and finished the year with 33.3% against his rival FSU. He then decided to sit out the bowl game. 33.3%. Pathetic.

As a QB prospect he's the outstanding one in this Draft - his highlights tape is by far the best, and it's only 13 games or so. He has poor / lazy footwork, but that's fixable - I posted in the Pro Day thread about how it's mainly his short accuracy that drags his completion percentage down (well that and his awful receivers - @Varking how the hell does #1 Pearsall see the field at Florida?!).

 

The key for him will be his personality - I've no idea what it's like. He says he wants to be the best in interviews with the media, but you'd need to do a much deeper dive to convince me. I think the only way he busts is if he tries to coast on his talent and is happy with that initial pay cheque.

I think he's already made a wise decision leaving Florida after 1 year - he wasn't getting good coaching there and was surrounded by awful receiving talent. If he commits to improving his mechanics then he's going to be a terrifying prospect for (I sadly assume) AFC South teams twice every year for the next decade... but admittedly we said that about Newton, so who knows. 

Pearsall wasn’t even good enough to crack the top 2 at Arizona State yet had to come to Florida to be our 1. It’s embarrassing. We have some up and coming WRs but they won’t be ready for two years. Richardson was smart to leave. 

[WOW!!]

Asked this in another thread.. 

Richardson was in Florida for 3 years .. Why didn’t he start sooner?? Who was holding that much talent on the sidelines??

Kyle Trask (2nd round pick / Bucs QB) when Richardson was a Freshman, then Emory Jones who I believe was the 'next in line' and a Redshirt Junior (albeit looking at his eligibility now he's a 6th year player next season thanks to COVID). Richardson ran him off in the Spring (transferred to Arizona St).

Do you think that completion percentage tells the whole story?

There was no way he was starting over Trask - he threw for 4,200 yards and 43 TDs that year. 

Emory Jones started under Mullen - I don't think he trusted Richardson, plus it's the whole political game of if you start the underclassman the older player will just transfer.

That said it's all assumptions, I'm not a Gators fan.
