This. I've seen enough. The fear was that Richardson is sooooo raw that he would be overwhelmed (therefore, stunting his growth). I didn't see that on Saturday. He is a rookie but he looked like he belonged.

That is actually a very insightful take on it. Of course Richardson had the yips today. I wonder how clever SS is - was it deliberate? A kinda test? Interesting.

The eye opener is the rookie completion percentage record. Who realized it was that low? Makes one wonder; what was Luck's rookie completion percentage?

He has a good catch radius. He. Catches. Everything. Doesn't that sound just about perfect for a talented rookie QB who has a reputation for inaccuracy? He will be AR5's security blanket. Bank on it.

If I understand correctly, he (his accuracy) is actually much better at the long throws. His weakness is short/intermediate timing routes. I may have read somewhere this is because of his footwork (that he has been working on very deliberately this entire off season). I expect tons or 'no riskit, no biscuit' type throws from him during his rookie season. You will see fireworks.

I think I might go to Germany for the game. That is likely it this year. I'm strange, maybe even a bit bougie - if I'm not able to attend the game in a suite; then I really, really prefer the game on TV. I just can't tell what's going on otherwise.

I'm thinking about it. Not just because of the game, but its as good of an excuse to take a trip with my son as any other.

What about Emil Ekiyor jr. ?

I am happy that Ballard has turned the Negative Nancys into Silent Sallys. It lets the rest of us enjoy the draft coverage that much more...
