I've just got a bad feeling that he's done.
Who's stoked to watch Paul Richardson this season?

I like the idea of having Richardson and Lockett on the field at the same time with Baldwin (plus a healthy Graham, fingers crossed) but he has proven to be injury-prone.
At this point I would be happy if Richardson can stay healthy until Graham can get back and contribute.
They don't NEED to draft a WR this year, but if Richardson gets hurt again then WR joins the shortlist of positions to be addressed in the 2017 draft.

That's just another reason to be happy about Lockett.MontanaHawk05":1rytxtvv said:
It gives Richardson the 2016 season to try to get things right and stay healthy without us NEEDING to sign/draft a guy in case he can't stay healthy.
I, too tend to give up on players who can't stay healthy (being injury-prone is a real thing) but the Hawks at least are not depending on him to carry a big receiving load this year (it would just be a nice bonus).

He certainly deserves a full season. The game creates injuries, and he has kinda been snake bit. Kinda like Chad Brown was toward the end of his stay here.

Excited about the previews and possibilities. The big 'if' is him making it though a season with those Percy-noodle rollers.

Its arguable that this will be PRich's make or break season.
- He still is cost controlled for two years perhaps 3 but I do not understand what counts as an accrued season for players put on IR.
- Seattle has kept around more expensive injury plagued players like Carp and Okung perhaps out of necessity.
- Richardson isnt a malcontent like Harvin. By all accounts he is working his way back and along with Lockett and Kevin Smith seems to be glued to Russell Wilson every other week.
PRich as a player and what he has showed before the Play-Off injury looked like he was building excellent chemistry with Wilson and found a niche as a chain-mover and despite his size was a scrappy downfield blocker.
If Lockett is a slightly diminutive adrenalized Doug Baldwin.
Paul Richardson is a slightly dimunitive adrenalized Jermaine Kearse at least in the short to intermediate passing game. We havent seen much deep ball ability from him at this point.
But what I love is that there isnt a great deal pressure on Richardson to over exert himself or be exposed to injury via high snap counts.
So if the top 3 WRs stay healthy, Richardson can work his way back with limited reps which will in turn keep him healthy and on the field.
What I love the most though of what Richardson brings is:
-that he was stellar in the scramble drills again his developing chemistry with Russ was extremely positive in 2014.
-that he has a pretty solid catch radius for his size (see dj hackett) and some of the best catching coordination ive seen. Which is saying something on this team. He makes catching Wilson darts look simple and easy.
- While he is not a pinball of agility, his athleticism and accelleration is very smoothm and direct that it looks easy. Its going to be awesome to have another player that will consistently command the DB to give up 5-10 yards of immediate cushion of the ball along with Lockett.
Basically, the Seahawks WRs potential could be:
Baldwin: elite short wr
Richardson: elite intermediate wr potential
Lockett: elite deep wr potential
Kearse: jack of all trades wr
If you can get Graham and/or Willson and/or other to dominate the middle of the field the Seahawks passing game potential could be unstoppable and highly effective in attacking all areas of the field.

I believe he will outperform Tyler Lockett this year.

I really like him but it is pretty hard for me to envision him with a big enough role to make a huge impact unless there are injuries or he somehow flat-out steals Kearse's job, which I just can't see.

If you watched the guy at Colorado - he was their whole offense.
Everyone knew it and they still couldn't stop him.
The Seahawks HAD to take that kind of a chance, even with the durability concerns.
Considering how well $16 worked out, we aren't stuck if he doesn't. But he is absolutely going to be a huge bonus if he does.

Ive learned to not get my hope's up on anyone in particular (especially people coming off injury) and just be pleasantly surprised when things turn out good.

It's make or break for him, period.
I like the kid, and he's got some upside, but he HAS to stay healthy for a full season - and contribute noticeably - before anybody can even begin to think he's turned the corner for the better.
As it is, Baldwin, Kearse, and star-in-the-making Lockett are going to get the majority of the snaps this year. They've earned it, so PR needs to maximize any and all opportunities given.

I feel stoked when he makes it to the BYE and hes only missed a game or two. I am giving him a couple game cushion considering his history.
I dig the videos hes been in this offseason but that doesn't replicate a hard tackle or aggressive personal foul penalty. I am holding my breath on how he does. At this point thus far just like im sure many are. I am wishing we took Allen Robinson haha. hindsight is 20/20 though.

Hard to get excited for a guy that can't stay on the field.
Hopeful but not excited.

It is legitimate to suspect he will have a leg injury again.
Which is too bad, he gives our 4 wide look a fearsome edge. And has polish Lockette will never have.

I don't think it's possible but if it happens I would love it. Lockett is a stud so if you're prediction comes to fruition it means Richardson blows up, doesn't mean lockett slumps or regresses.SeaToTheHawks":185wst34 said:

Lockett will not regress.
