Anthony Richardson benched, Joe Flacco named starter

[Born2BKing]

I think Richardson has all the athletic tools but it’s just not clicking between the ears. BTW I think the clock will strike midnight on Flacco. People are enamored with the story but I don’t think he’ll keep the level of play up

Flacco still has possibly the strongest arm in the NFL, until that changes, he will be good.

Anybody that saw AR at Florida knew he was years away from being a starter in the NFL, raw as hell but “he’s 6’6 and can throw to mars!” blinded people.

That's the first step. Ask him if he wants to switch to WR next or cut him. He isn't a QB

That was not a hard decision. They might as well teach him how to run routes right now, because he is a wide receiver.

He is big enough to be a tight end and with his athleticism he would be devastating, but the pride of the guys these days probably will not let them do it.

Ironically he was a WR in HS for I believe his first two years before he became a QB

All this convert to TE, RB talk is ridiculous when he’s shown he can’t take hits at the NFL level.

I just see him as an old immobile Qb who does have a strong arm but still old and immobile. I could be wrong though

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

I was coming in here to say, well take him over here in NYC over Danny

Vikings are cursed

went from a sure win to Flacco lightly lighting it up against us

couple things here

1) The fact they ran a draw play after he left the game on 3rd and long shows the coaching staff wanted players on the team to feel some way about him leaving the game

2) AR was ass in college, it was obvious he was a developmental QB, really only had 2 good games his two years at UF

3) to point 2, dude ain’t start a full season yet. NFL teams be fukkin wildin giving up on high capital players early. Waste of a top 5 pick

A tale as old as time. Richardson will not be the last guy taken high for that exact reason.

 

[Osmosis]

They're not done with him, right? You don't take a player this raw and give up so quickly. This is a multi-year project, he probably shouldn't have even started his first few seasons.

???
how many coaches sling the ball on third and long with the backup QB who has to come in all of a sudden for a play?

not even dan campbell would do this

They coulda ran a screen, something

Flacco is a SB winning QB who went to the playoffs last year, there could’ve been an attempt to call a play that atleast attempts to get the ball downfield, maybe even 5 yards

I really think the whole staff was fed up with shyt

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

Absolutely inept move by the franchise. You don’t draft project and give up on him this quickly. It shows they are unable to develop, teach, or coach.

So see if he can get on ESPN as an intern?
