I have everyone's W/L totals going into the Monday game. Now this will make it easy on me to add everything better. -
I'm of the opinion that AR was drafted too high - with his dearth of college experience, he would've been much better suited to have been drafted a round or 2 later and developed as a legitimate NFL starting quarterback. With that said, I'm not blaming Ballard or Steichen for grabbing him when they had the opportunity because had they not, someone else likely would've, probably with a Top 10 pick. The Seahawks, Cardinals, Raiders, Falcons, Eagles & Bears all drafted after us and of all those teams, only the Eagles had their QB of the future already on their roster. The Seahawks could've drafted him and had him learn from Geno Smith for a season or so but when a quarterback is drafted in the 1st round, especially with a Top 10 pick, there is always intense pressure for them to play right away, and start early into their rookie season. While his size, speed & strength made Richardson a very attractive prospect to most if not all GMs & coaches, it's undeniable at this point that he definitely needed more seasoning before being handed the reins to a franchise and it's entire offense. I'm not ready to cast him aside just yet, but Shane were to start Flacco going forward with AR as the #2 with a few situational plays designed just for him each game (kinda like how Reich utilized Brissett while Rivers was here) and we win as many games as we can that way, we'd probably make the playoffs. I'm not sure if Ballard would allow that though, he took a risk by drafting Anthony as high as he did and if it doesn't work out, it probably costs him his job.
