Eh then how’s the accuracy comments come into play here? They took the least accurate of all QBs

Accuracy in today's NFL is more fixable than lack of size or lack of athleticism or lack of pocket presence.

Well it seems like no one hurt themselves more in the predraft process than Carter as he went from a possible number one overall pick (when the Bears had the pick) to maybe slipping out of the top 10

Haha I’m not so sure about that

I also think when your a guy who plays like Richardson your probably going to have weapons that are more wide open.

He went 9th overall that would be almost falling out of the top 10

Plus he’s apparently been working with some really good QB coach recently.

 

But yeah, glad to have that pocket awareness/escabaility.

Yeah they announced on my feed right after that

[JediXMan]

Alec Pierce is one big winner. He finally has a QB with a big arm and can extend plays.

[John Waylon]

Even if Richardson is a complete and total bust the likes of which we’ve never seen before or we’ll ever see again what’s the worst thing that happens? We find ourselves in position to draft Arch Manning in a couple years?

 

Please, no, not that! Anything but that! 

 

This is all chips in. It was the only move for all involved. I love it.

Hi Chloe

Are you happy with pick

I told you guys I wouldn’t be mad as long as it’s a QB.

I've been on your case for weeks  for your anti AR posts ...sorry. But in the end...this is the best result...trust me.

[pkbrux]

I'm pumped. In a conference with Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, Herbert, Jackson, Lawrence, etc, you have to take the big swing at this type of upside.

 

If he busts, then you just have to take another swing, but this was a risk worth taking.

I can back you on that. You did say that many times on here.

Damn right! Don't force it.... but IF he's ready to run a functioning offense without developing bad habits... let him play! He needs to play and gain experience much more than he needs to watch others play. 

[ChuggaBeer]

I hope Will Levis has some bananas in the green room.  If Tenn doesn't take him he is gonna sit a while 

[AKB]

Very happy with this pick. I'm at work and missed it. 

 

Anything else I missed?

Especially with all those tall WR’s and TE’s out there

Carter fell to 9.   And would have been out of the top ten if the Eagles didnt trade up for him

His bananas might get brown spots by the time he gets drafted... I hear brown spots peels are healthy for you...

Arch can’t even start at QB… in college. Did it go to his head

Yea he was on talking about the AR pick.

Ballard and Steichen went for the higher ceiling, rather than the higher floor. I love it.

 

I trust Steichen will know how to get the best out of this kid.

We need a speed WR to take the tops off Ds. We will be playing against stacked boxes consistently...

[Archer]

Sing with me: “‘Cause, I’ll stand erect, and you’ll stand erect, and we’ll all stand erect together!  We’ll be alright in the middle of the night, standing erect together!”

Would be cool to see Levi's go to Ten

They have Davis from Georgia on their DL too, their interior DL is stacked.

Plus...he can run..think Josh Allen on steroids.

[presto123]

Anthony Richardson's arm strength compared to Jeff George? After seeing that Twitter video yesterday, I wonder. haha!

[SR711]

Overall, good pick…I agree with swinging big there especially at QB.

 

Steichen has shown he can develop young qbs.

I am certain this was ultimately his call. 

If he can develop consistently playing/winning in the pocket (and he has every tool to do so) he can be really, really good.

Jeff George couldn’t move like AR can.

It could be good for him to get knocked down a peg. Hope he gets his chance.

I'm sure it was a collaboration

I’m good with it even though I think he’s very inexperienced and raw.

 

simply cause we didn’t trade up to do it

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

So Ballard was telling the truth when he said we could get our QB at 4. He said he knew months ago he was the pick. Sounds like he had him 1st on his board.

It took them 20 seconds to make the pick. They've been on him for a year.
