Richardson: ‘Lord knows what my ceiling is.’

How in the hell do you know this? I didn’t want an answer. It is rhetorical, you don’t

I specifically said I don't know that Stiechen is on Andy Reid's level to develop a QB like Richardson. I read a few articles on the process Reid used to develop Mahomes, it was very intentional that he sat the first year, they recognized he was far away from being ready to start an NFL game when they drafted him, and that just throwing him in the fire could have completely shattered his confidence. Patrick Mahomes as a draft prospect was far ahead of Anthony Richardson in terms of being ready to start an NFL game, that's why I think at least 2 years would be ideal for him. Honestly, a draft and stash strategy where they draft Richardson, bring in Lamar Jackson and make it clear that they're going to run a more run heavy style of offense going forward might be the best way to go. Giving Richardson an Aaron Rodgers style start to his career would be even better, and if you sign Lamar to a 5 year deal and guarantee the first 4, the Ravens are unlikely to match, and then you have a true mentor for the kid who will fully take the pressure off of him to start for the first several years of his career.

IMO doing that or trading up to 1 are basically the only real competitive strategies to move forward.

Its astounding that all the teams who need good GM's have not scooped you up and gave you the keys to the franchise.

Just stomp the breaks right there, Lamar is not signing a contract that would make that possible.

Spending $60 million per year on the QB position is going to be the norm in the NFL.

Sure it will, in 2032, but not in the next 3 years

The Colts spent over $50 million on the position in 2020.

He is not going to sign a contract that we get easy out of after 2 years, that was my point, more than the per year.

I’m reading more and more that we like Levis. Smokescreen or is it possible that the scouting department knows more than Dam?

Is that possible?
