Being a Florida Fan and getting to watch Richardson, he had remarkable talent and a lot of wow moments. However, if you actually watched his college games you are not suprised by his performance in the NFL. Athlete playing quarterback not a quarterback who is athletic.

[TheLumpyOne]

How about better scouting and not overdrafting the talent?

Alternatively, you can sometimes find a savvy veteran and ride the hot hand...a la Joe Flacco. Flacco can still sling it, still has heart, and is a lot cheaper than Richardson.

Serious question: What's Richardson's ceiling, anyway? Trey Lance? After taking himself out of the game, what are the odds the Colts even get a conditional draft pick for him?

[Ishai]

The situation in Europe is very different now. The NFL could probably monetize a summer league now. It's the offseason for soccer as well, those stadiums are mostly empty. There are more fans who will show up to watch games, maybe a future star. If you actually sent young QBs like Lance and Richardson, names they've heard about, it will be even more marketable.

[cjokerp]

The Colts organization can do nothing but blame themselves for overdrafting Anthony Richardson in 2023...
There's was no way in hell he was worthy of a #4 overall pick based on his very limited starting QB experience in college. Not to mention his undisciplined quarterback mechanics and maturity...

The 4th round is where he should have been drafted

[ché_]

Experience, work ethic, leadership, reading defenses, accuracy, calmness, and clutchness are the necessary skills of a franchise QB. Athleticism should only be the cherry on top. The colts drafted the wrong qb and will have to pay for their mistake in the next 3-4 years.

[wbjwdft]

One second spent talking about the Jets is one second too long. A team that's literally done nothing to merit this much attention except for spectacular failures.

[kurt]

Didn't know any better Albert? Holy hell this kid is a professional football player, not a 10-year-old.

[stephenayers]

Why don't they partner with the UFL and provide them with players for spring football?

[ComPLeX_Nugget]

all these reporters saying for anthony richardson to take a breath lmao

[patrickfort]

All you need to do is look at the success of the rookie qbs this year who played a ton in college. Don't draft raw qbs in the first round and then expect them to start. When has that worked? Williams, Daniels, and Nix all played a lot in college, and it shows in their transition to the pros.

[anthonynonya]

Richardson and Lance and Young and Mac Jones ect ect ect is exactly what the UFL should be used for. Develop players.

[yepyep]

The team you’re on doesn’t matter when it comes to your next contract.

[delbertphillips]

I wonder what Albert's thoughts would be on the concept of extending the mandate of NFL team practice squads, which, by the way, is already the de facto "development" arm of league. In its raw form: each team would identify 11 players on both sides of the ball who would play real inter-sqaud games during the off-season. That would give guys undeveloped potential the trail and error opportunities they need without risking coaching staff jobs. What I'm describing used to be the preseason. However, raw talent evaluation hardly exists anymore during the preseason and probably will be eliminated all together once the league expands to 18 games. The Green Bay model of quarterback development is now being tried out in Atlanta. Hence, I think that this is a concept to be explored and utilized for all positions in league mandated structure.

[chrispritchard]

Well there is the XFL/UFL now they can use as a developmental league. Only issue is that league isn't tied to the NFL

[mypointoftoon]

Answer to the riddle: European League of Football 🇪🇺 🏈 ... Surely, there's an opportunity there to share young drafted players for development and increase ELF's profile while not compromising competitive balance🤔

[REALJayDOTWill]

He was not looking like Cam Newton 2.0, stop saying stuff like that lol.

[seansullivan]

“Anthony Richardson and Trey Lance need snaps and can’t get them in the NFL” hey here’s a crazy idea STAY IN COLLEGE!!

[juanmikel]

Fans talk about football like it’s Madden. They can’t seem to comprehend there are other livelihoods at stake. Coaches, players, Front Office. They all have Jobs they would love to keep. Kids at school, new real estate.

[ColemanJRimer]

The NFL does have a training program - college football. Just because people whiff doesn't mean this is broken.

[brettinnis]

Shouldn't have drafted him.

Teams are gonna sign 2 vets and a kid and do a bullpen style especially mid market teams
