Anthony Richardson Film Breakdown Megathread

Recommended Posts

AR is the most complete QB prospect at having all the prototypical physical traits for being a QB, add to that a 4.4, add to that an all time strongest arm in the opinion of many. His only deficiencies are playing time and "touch"?! If Frank likes him those are two things he can fix easily.

So I just read something that makes a ton of sense and pushes me more towards drafting Richardson than I was before (even though I love Young as a prospect and he's my current #1):

Drafting a bust at QB isn't as bad as drafting one that's mediocre. And it's so true. It's easier to move on from a guy who sucks than to be handcuffed to a Derrek Carr, Kirk Cousins, Ryan Tannehill, or Daniel Jones, who play well enough to be a starter and demand 30-40+ million on a contract, but aren't good enough to get you over the hump. 

Damned if reading that didn't make me want to swing for the fences. 

Your at number 1.... go for the homer or draft a guy who is like 10-15 best in the league like say dak would be a super let down at number 1. Richarson has never before seen traits. Young has the same but in a negative light as far as weight and size. As amazing as he is.. best ability is availability.

Stroud just seems safe like high floor... no super defining generational traits. jack of all trades master of none.. This whole qb debate is really interesting tho..glad I dont have to make it.

It is kind of wild how the top 4 guys all shook out.

Want the guy with the best tape? Young, but there's size concerns.

Want the safe pick? Stroud, but there's concern with how he performs when pressured.

Want that big time boom potential? Richardson, but he might bust.

Want the prototypical build? Levis, but there's some questionable decision-making.

All of them are flawed, so folks end up making their decision based on which of those traits they want the most and/or which of those flaws bother them the most.

This... its a conundrum... Like I said glad my job isnt on the line making the decision. Steve Smith said when talking about Richardson "nobody wants to be the guy who passed on amazon or telsa". It's kinda like that... a early investment that could turn out to be huge.

Matt Waldman has a good scouting breakdown on Richardson:

Says his accuracy issues aren't as bad as people think. in fact he throws more downfield than anyone, and throws a consistent catchable ball. 

I am legitimately warming up to Richardson at 1.

Frank has also stated the completion percentage doesn't worry him.

Pete Carroll, especially, could get him and make us look STUPID no matter who we pick. That is very possible if we pass on him. Scary.

    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
    • This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
