Already hammered, oddly judgemental, most likely going to pass out on his front lawn holding a lawn chair stephenpe is by far my 2nd favorite form. Easily Top 15 maybe-Bradford County posters on here.

Disgusted at his play tonight. He’s got what baseball players call “the yips”. We all know he’s better than what he’s showing last two games. The fact that he was on the money with all of his throws until he misfired for a bad (horrid) pick, then he was spraying the ball all over the place, not within 10 yards of WRs.
SOMEBODY GET THIS MAN A PSYCHOLOGIST. He’s too talented to look like Treon Harris.

He needs to be benched. And if he's the best we got then Napier needs to answer a lot of questions. There was plenty of time to address this in the portal. He's awful.

2nd game in a row, where AR's passing in the 2nd half has killed us. He never looks to his check down, which is always open.

I hate to give up on him, but I just don’t think AR is going to work out. He isn’t who we thought. Last years bright spots were flukes….fools gold. Turns out he’s just another athlete that doesn’t have it between the ears.
If we can’t go with another QB we must go full out running attack. I honestly don’t want to see him pass again.

Like I said in another thread, dude gives me Driskel vibes. Last two games were textbook Driskel

Don't want to give up on him either. I'm sure if Miller was available he would have been given some PT by now. Hopefully get becomes available soon. But at this point not sure that Kitna and other would do worse. So why not?

I have to ask myself if what I've seen previously from Richardson was all a mirage. Because the guy who showed up the last two Saturdays looks nothing like the previous version.
Be careful how you approach this, Billy. Let the kid play loose. Let him regain his confidence. Let him be him. Teach. And hope for the best.

That's a very good point. Charlie Ward was terrible until they let him play his game.
Fingers crossed they find the solution.

Here's my wife's take but I'll explain it my way.
You're on the interstate driving along. There's little traffic. As you journey on, your doing 73mph casually in the middle lane leaving the passing lane open because your a good citizen. As you look ahead there is only one other car ahead of you. He's also in the middle lane but he's going about 60mph. You flip your blinker and move to the passing lane just cruising at your same speed. As you near the car ahead that is going 60, he sees you. He looks at his speedometer and realizes he was just sightseeing at 60 mph. Now caring about his speed, thanks to you, he realizes he now should be doing 70. Your wondering what is this guy doing so you gun it and complete your pass and switch back into the middle lane where the other guy being alone on the road again settles back down to 60mph and gets smaller on your rearview.
My wife firmly believes that AR is the type of guy that needs someone else on the road to get him up to speed. She thinks he needs to compete with someone to do what needs to be done and that being left alone as the starter provides him no motivation to 'speed up'. She is adamant that he is the type of guy that has to have competition behind him to be able to 'outdo' him. That's her reasoning for the difference from AR vs EJ and AR vs himself. Not my take but she mentions this every game quite a few times.

My concern is that outside of a solid(still not great passing) game against Utah, all the other moments he’s had have been as a reliever when there was nothing to lose, or against bad competition, or both. The pressure, and his performance, is totally different when the pressure is on.

AR never really wanted the starting QB job and responsibilities. He was perfectly content being #2 to EJ and said so somewhat in deference to EJs seniority, allegedly. AR doesn’t appear to have any desire at all to be a leader with its attendant responsibilities. AR needs to be on the move to throw accurately, much like Charlie Ward. He is flat footed and lost as a pocket passer. Letting him move won’t solve the lack of leadership problem, but at least will let him relax and play more naturally…maybe.

Defenses are taking that away. And it will continue. You have to be able to read and make plays in the pocket to be a successful QB. The roll outs and movement can’t be your base offense. It’s too easy to shut down.

Did you ever see Charlie Ward play his senior year?

I was 13 but yes. I don’t think that’s a sustainable approach. The UK linebacker literally called us out and said they wouldn’t allow AR to do what he did to Utah. He was right. Then Usf executed the same blueprint. The roll outs with no one there and open field in front of him for at least 5 yards in week one have turned into rollouts with a DE/LB not only in his face but forcing him backwards and throwing off his back foot. That will be the new norm outside of mixing it in occasionally and catching a team unprepared.

Completely agree. Not sure why people are suggesting more rollouts/boots will make things better, those have been some of our worst plays.
