This is so boom or bust but god damn that pure athletic ability is just crazy...

Someone dumb?

Ballard sounds like a good candidate

Ballard is risk averse it would be totally opposite of what he'd do.

If you have a coach that is good with QBs it might be worth it...his ceiling is crazy.

Honestly…I would take him if I’m the Lions. You’ve got an extra 1st rounder and Goff isn’t it. But you also wouldn’t have to start him this year either. Seattle could take him for that reason too.

I think those are probably his best landing spots for being successful.

Problem is he very likely won't end up there as he'll go 1 or 2 or to someone trading with Arizona...

Best coach for this would be Colts Steichen who already developed Hurts.

Yep. The problem is that Steichen has to count on Ballard to do something and Ballard just isn't that guy, IMO.

It's too risky for him.

Stuff like this says he's further along than Hurts, Hurts was seriously run 1st in college..also Richardson is a far better pure athlete.

Can’t take Mahomes.

Too risky

The real question is, do you swing if your Carolina?

CJ Stroud is safe but is he ever more than say the 8th-12th best QB in the league? Young is so small...

Do you swing for the superstar or do you play it safe?

Um...

Richardson had a 55% completion percentage in college, with 3100 yards, 24 TD's, and 15 INT's in 3 years.

In 3 years at Tech, Mahomes throw for over 3100 yards in a season TWICE and finished with over 11,000 yards total. He had a 63.5% completion rate, 93 TD's, and 29 INT's.

It's really not the same situation at all.

He won't make it past the Raiders, IMO.

Well thats air raid etc but yes Mahomes played much more, Richardson is a better athlete, probably the best athlete ever tested at QB...

He ain't going past 3.

For sure.

But does he have the QB skills to put himself over the top? That remains to be seen for sure. He's an athletic freak but can he be an NFL QB? That's the risk.
