I guess he is going to be a problem for the trainers in his rehab now.

Just think if the Donks grabbed Minshew instead of Tater.

May still need surgery. That hasn’t been ruled out.

Richardson might be decent when he’s healthy.

I agree he’s looked pretty good at times for a rookie, but they’re gonna need a damn good backup.

He plays way too reckless for the NFL. He takes hits like Josh Allen but he’s clearly not as robust.

And Brooke Pryor might look decent if she didn't weigh 700 pounds...

Scenarios that will never happen.

Strongly considering season ending surgery for that AC joint.

You really know how to call 'em

This thread aged well.

Richardson hasn't played long enough to show he is a "student of the game". Until then he only relies on his athleticism. What you don't know if he is learning to be a student. Remember when Mike Vick, Vince Young, Cam Newton, Lamar Jackson,...... were all considered the 2nd coming? For a short bit it looked like they could be but only to the novice eye.

Because they were not students of the game, DCs around the league caught up to their athleticism because their lack of "knowing the game". Kyler Murray, Jordan Love, Justin Fields, Zack Wilson, etc..... are well on their way to the "athletic back up heap".

Vick was probably the most athletically talented with Jackson close behind and Newton closing out with their athleticism extending their careers but DCs eventually caught up to them. Vick said, when he went to Philly he finally became a real QB working with Reid. :thumb:

Young talented rookie pitchers come in as "throwers" in the big leagues and have immediate success 'because' hitters have not seen them. But over time IF the talented throwers do not learn how to 'pitch' the hitters will eventually catch up to them.

Oh look, a post where Chiefs”shrink” disparages black QBs (and MILF ****er Zack Wilson)…..

It sounds like he's disparaging athlete QBs who can't read the whole field well and/or pass from the pocket in a pro style offense.

It sounds like he didn't spend a single minute watching the video in the OP.

I must admit I've been shocked that Lamar has lasted as long as he has.

He's had some knee problems, but he is both a really elusive RB and his passing has improved. He doesn't take many hits when he takes off running.

If I was a Raven fan, I would still be worried about Lamar's longevity. It's not like the issue goes away as he gets older.

And Lamar doesn't have the best record of carrying his team in the playoffs.

But his accomplishments deserve at least some recognition.

OP actually meant Richardson’s AC joint was going to be a problem for a long time.

I actually think the Ravens would be a sneaky-problematic team for the Chiefs to beat in the playoffs.

I'd still take the Chiefs, but the Ravens present some tough matchup issues. I'd take the Chiefs 60/40, as opposed to much of this board that might take them 80/20.

Reports out of Indy as far as Richardson's work ethic and desire to learn were great. He's always at the facility.

Lamar has had playoff games where his throwing mechanics get off and he misses a lot of throws.

But when that doesn't happen he's a top ten QB ability wise.

I agree that Lamar is problematic if you're looking to win playoff games.

I just like their defense/run game combo. I think it has enough juice to really test KC, and then Lamar can hit you with counterpunches.

I would still bet on the Chiefs, I just have a lot of respect for Harbaugh and some of the talent on that team.

I do too. Would always expect to win but let's say we draw Ravens first in playoffs.


They are one of the few teams than can take away Kelce and then Rice has to beat his guy repeatedly or we go home.

Lamar has ended the last two seasons injured and not playing.

Hey, I'm impressed he's still starting each season...

And one of those injured seasons was maybe a contract dispute?

But yeah, still a huge injury risk.

Love Smith and Queen.

But how many times have the Chiefs faced teams who seem well-equipped to “take away Kelce” who have failed miserably?

:rolleyes:

You guys even shit on a premier football channel like QB School. Easily among the best channels on football.

It’s a great channel. He does excellent work. And in the OP, he makes a compelling case for the incredible promise we all saw in Richardson but immediately elected to hate the second he went to an AFC rival.

Best ability is availability, something Richardson hasn't shown a lot of so far.

Very true.

Yep, and he’s gotten injured on routine tackles. He hasn’t even been hit that hard.

I watched it early on and it seemed incredibly basic... like just a guy commenting on plays.

I watched a bit from the OP yesterday and looked like he was giving a lot more insight than I remember from the first few I watched, so might be worth another shot.

Kadarius Richardson

He's built like a tank, too. I wonder what's causing that.

AG3

Just injury prone I guess. Sucks.

If someone could embed that please.

Done for season.

Shocking another running QB goes down...just shocking

Oh...would you look at that

Well done too

Direkshun - 0 for forever in player projection.

Declared him better than Hurts already as well and a top 5 QB ROFL ROFL

I didn’t make the video in the OP. A guy who’s forgotten more about football than either of us will ever learn did, and showed the receipts.

Refute that. And please evict me from whatever rent-free space you’ve holed me up in within your mind.

Richardson had his ups, his downs. But the plays he made in the OP, man. Sky is the limit — if he can stay healthy.

I do think this guy has a bright future IF he can ever stay healthy. Right now that's a pretty ****in big "if".

I think the Colts learned their lesson from Luck, who had a very similar injury in 2015 and elected for rehab instead of surgery. He ended up playing with it the rest of 2015 and all of 2016 before finally having surgery and missing the 2017 season.

It sucks but it’s probably for the best for his future.

:LOL:

No, you're just always wrong. Wrong on Mcduffie, wrong on Donovan Smith, usually way off on any and all draft possibilities, or team building, and wrong on Richardson and that's just off the top of my head. Which other than whatever time I spend on CP doesn't include you at all, I assure you.

This feels like a Deberg thread.

I've been plenty wrong, no problem with that. I've re-litigated the McDuffie thing a million times, so I'll just say that I was a huge fan of the draft pick, grew concerned with what I saw in person which reflected some weaknesses he showed in Washington, but my opinion changed over time as he balled out his rookie year and is playing at All Pro levels now.

That doesn't have anything to do with Richardson, though? QB School is far more knowledgeable than you are, and he shows his receipts: Richardson has played at times like a bona fide stud. If he stays healthy and Steichen continues developing him, that's going to be a major problem for the Chiefs. (Though it will be fun for football lovers everywhere to watch.)

I don't think there's a question health will be an issue -- guy needs to make major adjustments there or his career won't last.

But, damn. That's some good tape. Tell me I'm wrong.

https://media.tenor.com/TkMHVKg9SXYA...ic2-eggman.gif

Seems unlikely… he’s getting outplayed by Malik Willis today.

I miss that guy

Agreed.

I don't think he's going to be very good. Maybe average at best. He's too inaccurate.

He'll make some amazing plays here and there but it's not enough to make up for all his inaccurate throws.

Deberg was a master troll.

Direck is just earnestly wrong a lot.

You can Belize that

BRING BACK DEBERG

Ooooooof. DEBERG level fail

Heard a quote on Twitter that nails it.

Anthony Richardson can throw the passes 99% of QBs can’t throw. He also throws 99% of the passes other QBs wouldn’t throw.

This is great.

He’s like 99th percentile in every measurable you’d care about. 6’4” 245, 10.5” hands, 4.4 speed, arm like a legitimate cannon.

But he’s a sub-50% passer.

He's got Steichen and Cooter, loads of young weapons.


Super talented and raw. I love his situation.

I'm not sure he'll ever be a good QB, he's a guy who 15 years ago would have been a super dynamic RB or WR...

Hey, cut Direckshun some slack. "Anthony Richardson is going to be a problem before long." That statement is 100% true, for the Colts.

He's essentially a rookie, but he keeps missing routine throws. The accuracy problems are real.

He'll be a problem the same time Derwim actually erases Kelce

He's a real specimen folks! He's big, he's fast, he's got a rocket arm!

Problem is - he's dumb as **** and makes dumb as **** throws.

A real JaMarcus Russell type!

He’s regressed somewhat this year but it’s partly because Steichen is running a different offense than he did last year.

The RPO heavy and designed run offense has changed to more of a short passing west coast style offense.

The upshot is AR doesn’t take near as many hits and hopefully stays healthy.

The downside is his short passing accuracy is NOT good. He always misses high, which you’d think could be corrected, but who knows.

He can be successful in a Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson style offense.

I’m not sure he’s ready to run anything else.

We sometimes forget that most of what makes a good QB is between the ears.

Would it shock any of us to learn that AR15's Wonderlic matches his jersey?

I heard that was an issue coming out of college. Josh Allen had a similar profile overall. In time he did get a lot better. We'll just have to see.

I'm a Florida fan and was kinda shocked he was drafted where he was. Not that he didn't have insane physical talent, but the guy is just so raw with so few actual snaps.

It's not remotely fair to put him next to someone like Bo Nix as a comparison. One guy is the most experienced NFL draftee of all time; the other guy is the opposite.

He has a ton of raw ability, but he should need more time than others to be accurately judged.

Agreed. He needs a lot more experience before we know what he is.

I think the Colts have somewhat robbed him of what makes him really dangerous by keeping him more in the pocket but that’s almost where he needs the most work and where he’s less likely to get hurt.

He's a real problem for the medical staff it would appear

LMAO

Damaged goods at the ripe old age of 22

Has anyone been more wrong about everything than OP?

He’s either injured or sucking.

Mr. Glass

OP also observed McDuffie at training camp and deemed him a bust.

That’s in the running.

Whatever that guy says, you can just assume the opposite.

Took himself out of the game because he was “tired”… embarrassing.

Oof Texans were ripe for an upset and they couldn't even give him the game

Richardson is like the kid that is a foot taller than everyone they play with in basketball at every level they are in so they never learn how to actually play the game or develop repeatable skills.

I give a good chortle whenever I see this topic bumped up to the top.

That is ****ing perplexing. I’ve never heard of such a thing.

I mean. Running backs do it, sure. But Jesus.
