Thats part of my problem too....I don't trust the staff or the front office that much with a project like him right now. Theyve done nothing to show they deserve trust.

    He has a high upside but he also has the lowest floor and highest possibility of being a massive bust of the top 4 QBs. There's a reason why he appears to be dropping and there are mocks that have him falling out of the top 10.
    his floor is cam newton and lamar jackson, so he has very high and safe floor

People are enamored with his athleticism and for good reason but his ability to throw the ball is extremely concerning
    his mechanics can be changed, his footwork can absolutely be fixed, richardsons skills are off the hook good, his running speed of under 4.5 at his size is off the charts he's the same size as cam newton but much faster and he is a hard worker and smart kid ...this kid is worth the risk

    I saw a video by an “expert.” He made a few good points.

    How many NFL teams compete regularly for division and conference championships, as well as Super Bowls today, without a franchise QB? If you don’t have the best QB in your division or close to it, will you ever compete in your division? Very few — if any compete for anything unless you have the best QB in your division.

    What is Richardson’s upside? Nearly limitless.

    How will the Raiders ever compete with KC unless they have a QB who can go toe to toe with Mahomes? They won’t.

    With Garrapolo under center, the Raiders have the time to mold Richardson. They can bring him along slowly. They can use him on a few plays here and there, without expecting him to lead the team. Garrapolo has proven to be a great mentor of young QBs.

    McDaniels is a good QB coach, as evidenced by his coaching rookie Mac Jones into a Pro Bowl. Mac Jones.

    I’m not saying that Richardson will or should be our selection. He may not want to learn and may not be able to learn complex offenses. He may not have an elite work ethic. Without both, he should never be our selection.

    People are saying Hooker ran a gimmicky offense at Tennessee. I didn't watch enough of their games to know if they did or not.

    From Twitter addressing his relative athletic score:

    Anthony Richardson is a QB prospect in the 2023 draft class. He scored a 10.00 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 1 out of 890 QBs from 1987 to 2023.

    gonna be 26 yrs old this yr, coming off fo an acl injury which takes a yr to recover and more time to get back to being confident in the knee and ran a gimmicky offense that didn't require him to read defenses ...no thanks

    McDaniels is not going. I don’t believe they’re as high on him as lots of people hope.

    Talent doesn't always turn in to good play. A strong arm can hit, or overthrow a deep receiver. Decision making is more important than physical skills.
    Anderson is a developmental player who may be great. He can also be a bust. If the Raiders want to put their future in his arm, they might as well tank this
    season and get the defense and line help they need in 2024.
