What I do care about is the long-term chances for success.

Drafting Richardson makes next year look more like an 8-win year than a 2-year win for sure.

It also makes the next FIVE years look more like 8-win years than Super Bowl years.

I don't know how else to explain it so that it's clear - we don't have a QB and we're not going to get one this year. However, we need to keep looking.

Drafting a player like Richardson all but guarantees they QUIT looking. We'll spend his entire career looking for the next Cassel or Orton and trying to get by, just the like the Vikings.

mmmm....The Viking signed a future HOF QB to complement AP. Then, not even one year removed, they drafted a 1st rnd QB.

The Jags, Titans and Chargers are also examples of teams who didn't follow that recipe, so your argument isn't very strong.
