John **** up a crowbar in a sand box Elway got as much out of Manning in five years. As the Colts got out of him in 13. Then destroyed the next Peyton Manning, Luck. Problem is in house [Reply]

When you draft a QB at the top of the draft, you are swinging for the fences with the bases loaded.
Why draft a QB who is merely a single, or double at best potential wise?
Richardson was the only guy at the top of the draft who had the potential to be great. Sure, he was raw and could be a bust, but his ceiling was much, much higher than the other guys. I really hoped he would fall to the Raiders. [Reply]

Of course he’d try to show he’s the smartest guy in the room. [Reply]
I was real low on stroud but the Georgia game was when everything seemed to click for him. He looks like the best of the class. Richardson has been ok enough as a rookie but I think it’s largely a product of using athleticism and Steichen doing great with scheme. So I just don’t know how much he’s Jalen or he’s kyler. Stroud has been flat out excellent as a prototypical qb. [Reply]

There is a massive difference in how Mahomes runs and even how Lamar runs compared to how Josh Allen and Cam Newton would do it and Richardson is much more like Allen/Newton as a runner. [Reply]
He’s a much much better passer than I thought he would be, having never watched him before this season. He has a real chance to have a Josh Allen type progression in his completion percentage.
He’s insanely athletic. He’s always the best athlete on the field.
That said, he’s got to learn to dial it back some. He’s gotten hurt twice because he lays it all out there on every play. He was a little better last Sunday in terms of not taking so many hits but he still has a ways to go.
All in all, I couldn’t be more excited about him. He has the talent and drive to be an all time great.
I also agree, Stroud is going to be a problem for many years to come. He’s a really talented passer. [Reply]
Lol, I'm laughing at myself. Clearly I know jack and sh*t about evaluating a QB.
I watched about three series of this game, and I was thinking, 'this dude straight sucks'; I saw nothing that impressed me. He threw some dirt darts, scrambled around, took a sack and generally looked uncomfortable back there.
Yet again CP comes through with the next level analysis and shows me that I don't know what I'm looking at. It will be interesting to see how he develops. [Reply]
