Is Anthony Richardson a “project” like Trey Lance?

is AR a project? yes.

is AR a project like TL? no.

different skillsets and different starting positions in their development. AR has a much much much higher ceiling than TL. AR is a legit threat when running the ball. AR has much a better arm, he throws lasers. still needs to develop touch on his passes. TL doesn't have near the same athleticism, nobody is scared of his running ability or in awe of his arm. meanwhile, AR is an absolute freak athletically. there are many reports that TL gets "arm fatigue". not a good sign. both have accuracy issues, progression issues, mechanical issues. atleast AR has played in a pro style offense and against good competition. TL played in the missouri valley conference, basically complete scrubs compared to the SEC where AR played. AR has started more games in the last 6 months than TL has played in the last 3 years. TL is very aloof and seems to believe his own hype. AR seems more grounded and takes things more seriously from what i've seen/heard.

Bro you hit the nail right on the head with this post. There are many things that are wrong with Lance’s game most notably his lack of mechanics and poise. Lance was a decent FCS quarterback but certainly not worth the sweat off my sack and the draft capital they sacrificed to acquire him. “Ass” would be the word I would use in today’s urban dictionary to describe his game and that’s being polite

FWIW:

Lance was a higher rated prospect, but then that's just NFL.com, which probably has some agenda, unlike the objective Mr. Finger.

Trey's ceiling is more peak Kaepernick, while Richardson's is Josh Allen. Both raw and athletic as hell, but I wouldn't group them similarly.

I'm disturbed by the Jake Locker comps with AR

 

[MORGULON]

Richardson would be like drafting a guy that could be an Olympic decathlete that you'd have to teach how to play NFL QB!

He's a better prospect than Lance. But it's hard to imagine him starting day one.

Richardson doesn't have to START on Day 1 to have a huge impact as a rookie, because of his running skills.

If we get him, I predict Waldron installs some Wildcat and jet sweep packages that get AR on the field for a few snaps each half, and have some gadget play options off them. Not unlike how the Saints use Taysom Hill, who almost singlehandedly beat the Hawks. Put Richardson in motion for a jet sweep handoff, real or fake, and that's going to cause distraction problems for defenses and potentially open up runs between the tackles. Also 3rd-and-1, 4th-and-1, the "Eagles" package where Jalen Hurts sneaks it and gets it 99.9% of the time, Richardson can totally do that.

Is there such a play as a bubble screen lateral wide receiver dropback 60-yard bomb to DK? Never know until Waldron tries it...
