We can't lump Allen and Hurts together. Allen is athletic enough, but so was Luck. Luck was actually the same size as Allen but faster, quicker, and more explosive. We wouldn't lump Luck as a football player with Jackson, Newton, Hurts, Vince Young. Allen is an anomaly in that he's top passer who is asked to do designed runs. It's risky, but they do it. Luck could've done that. If Allen runs a sweep and lacerates his kidney like Luck, I bet they stop doing it. But Allen would still be a great QB without the runs or without an absolutely loaded team. I don't see that with those other guys.

I don't mean to shit on Hurts, but he's got to prove it longer. He's hot now with tons of talent and the best OL in football. But Kaepernick was also white hot at one point when the 49ers were loaded. Dudes were saying he was tougher to defend than Rodgers, Brees, and Brady. The future. Well...

Taking Richardson in hopes that he'll be Josh Allen is one thing. I'm not saying anybody is wrong for wanting to take that shot. Personally I think the odds are way too low to take the gamble.

Really, forget Josh Allen... odds are he won't even be Hurts/Newton. He's probably at least as likely to be the next Malik Willis as to be the next one of those guys.
