I don't think you give up on Richardson, but I'd bring him along slower. Let him work in a series, like some do in college, and give opponents something else to think about each week. That would be a big change of pace from Flacco and give home some experience but not 20-plus passes a game until maybe next year.

Shane presents very differently from Frank, and his offense is more modern and fun (at times). But as far as his seeming blindness to what I think are obvious answers, yeah, they have some things in common. Richardson might not be it. From the beginning, the odds of him becoming a very good NFL QB were longer than most prospects. Young QBs mostly fail, including those drafted early in the first round, so that's not surprising. But add his rawness and inexperience, and yeah, he had a tough road ahead of him. Then he got hurt in his rookie season, which made it even harder. And I don't want anyone to misunderstand my viewpoint on him. He's been pretty bad. Reckless decisions, inaccurate passes, etc. But that's what I always expected from him, specifically because he's raw and inexperienced. It's the job of the coaching staff -- a staff full of offensive assistants who have worked with project QBs in the recent past, seemingly handpicked to nurture a guy like Richardson -- to work around his limitations while he gets better. But like @Solid84 said, they're treating him like he's an experienced veteran. Almost every one of his passing attempts has a high degree of difficulty; he has the longest aDOT in the league, by far. He needs to be governed, through very careful gameplanning and play calling. Instead, they basically took the governor off, and now everyone is surprised that he's careening off the road. The staff is failing Richardson, and they are failing each other. And end result is looking like everyone is going to be gone by the end of 2025, if not sooner.

Before a game that Flacco started, the pregame show had Steichen saying that the gameplan is the same when Flacco starts as when Richardson does. Steichen shouldn't get a paycheck if that's true.
