Too soon?

I was prepared to rip into who ever posted this but It's funny as hell.

If Napier can do the unthinkable and pull a DJ Lagway, we might have that...it's no coincidence the fall of Florida can be traced back to bad QB play....

I could sleep walk thru every thread and contribute more than you, but stay the course it suits you perfectly.

you realize everyone on this board thinks you're an idiot right?

Anthony Richardson Postgame 9-10-22

The key to the loss is his admission at the 2:20 mark that he is a QB and was going to pass more(the NFL scouts were at the game).

I knew it. It was what I feared but expected.

At least we now know what really happened. Better than hungover as some speculated.

Maybe this has already been mentioned but they kept saying there were more than 20 NFL Scouts there. Maybe that got to AR and he either got cocky or nervous. He seemed to be forcing everything and not being relaxed.

Haven’t been in this thread in days….

Just once I'd like to not have a headcase at QB.

I'm not ready to call him a head case yet. Lets see how he responds, if he starts doing subway commercials then it's over.

Trask was as cool as the other side of the pillow. No head case. Even had the stats to prove it. Of course, he did have two first round draft-picks to throw 2 (Toney and Pitts).

And not nearly the hype.

To use a baseball pitcher analogy...AR lost his confidence and got wild...then brought the heat to compensate...and there was no one in the bull pin to relive him.

Good point. Trask was indeed a cool, level headed QB.

It was nice to see AR not making excuses and owning it. He seems like good kid, a mature kid. The question will be is this an outlier or is this the norm?

I think you are half right.
AR is a very good kid but he’s not very mature at all as demonstrated by his immature reaction to adversity last Saturday.
Anthony needs to grow up a bit very quickly.

 

[MertzJay26]

Might need to bring this guy in to challenge AR

Timmy had a LOT more starts under his belt with continuity within the staff and scheme. His ability to accurately assess where he was and where he needed to be was way different.

If AR took that same approach, how much would be false bravado? Can't say for sure about that, however a 20 yr old with the humility to admit he's got a lot of growing up to do has the proper attitude. I just hope his confidence hasn't been shaken more than necessary. It's way too early to think that's gonna be an ongoing problem, but we'll see as the season progresses. I'm still optimistic that he'll use this as a learning opportunity.

More importantly, Timmy could make that promise because he had the Pouncey’s, Trautwein, C. Johnson, and Watkins protecting him, with Harvin. Hernandez and Murphy and Cooper stretching defenses….and on D there was Cohen, Howard, Dunlap, Spikes, Doe, McCray, Black, Jenkins, and Haden. I’m probably leaving some great out!

That’s not what AR has to work with cause of dufus Dan?!?!

He had a heck of a season the one year he was the starter. We likely would have been competing for championship if not for Grantham. Grantham and Dan butt-fuched Trask out of an opportunity for glory.

Pretty sure Cohen was gone by then , but…carry on.

We have a history of guys with big arms and guys with vision. The guys with the arms -- Johnson, Driskel, Brissett, Franks, EJ to a degree -- always seemed to wait until the last minute. The guys with vision -- Wuerffel, Grossman, Trask -- didn't need to rely on arm strength. They got rid of the ball early and let the receiver run to it. Timing. There's a big difference.

The problem with timing is it involves a whole host of motor skills. It's very difficult, if not impossible, to teach. You usually either have it or you don't.

Richardson has a cannon. Can he get the timing thing? I'm not ready to wager on it, but my hands are clasped together.
