Heres how I see it.
Dont look at this as we are building around Cassel...that scews the whole thing. Look at it like we are building around somebody else (Stanzi, Tannehill..maybe Barkley or somebody else next year) because Cassel is gonna fail regardless.
What better situation could a rookie quarterback go into than ours if we take Richardson, if the draft were to fall that way?
Charles was a guy they had to somewhat limit the carries of prior to the ACL, now you would like to think that they will bring him along slowly. Richardson is not only a perfect compliment to Charles style and durability/injury recovery, he is the perfect insurance policy.
There are a ton of things a Trent Richardson does for a football team like ours.
He moves the sticks and lets your defense not only rest, but time to show stills and make adjustments during the flow of the game instead of having to just go bak out there and play right away because we went 3 and out.
He gives you a versatile and effective weapon in short yardage. That's something we haven't really had since Tony Richardson left. He has the power to go right up the a gaps and push the pile...the speed and shiftiness to hit the pylon on a toss...the ability to catch the ball and take it in...he really is a threat that would leave defenses wondering how to cover our wideouts and stop the run.
Lets face it.
These guys are gonna give Cassel one more chance and he is out.
Trent Richardson would open up the passing game for the next man up.
