I see Richardson often lumped in with Stroud as rookie QBs who were balling out.

I disagree. Richardson showed some high end talent, but his Rams game was very ugly passing wise. He had 4 completion thru 53 minutes of the game

  • Richardson ranked 33rd in passing grade by PFF.
  • He had the 4th worst on target throws.
  • The Colts ran a very simple pass offense
  • He had the lowest pass yards per game.

Now coming off a shoulder surgery, it just doesn’t seem like he is going to succeed.

    I don’t judge any qb based on rookie completion percentage, a lot of the current top qbs were also bad in their first year

    Richardson had flashes of greatness and his passing will continue to improve, I do think he has to try playing in a safer way tho, nfl hits are much worse than college hits
