Will he ever stay healthy. Obviously talented but hasnt ever been healthy for a full season. Even had injury problems in college. Look at who was selected after him, Jarvis landry, martavis bryant and allen robinson, all big playmakers. Was he a waste of a pick since he cant stay healthy ?
He is still cheap and still has potential, but the Hawks have to ASSUME that he will not stay healthy and make sure they have a replacement for him.
It is foolish to enter a season expecting an injury-prone player to help you.
When you build a roster you can't just assume the best. You have to assume that players who are always hurt will continue to get hurt. You have to assume that players who had a career year will not have a career year twice in a row (Baldwin).
At this point Richardson looks to be an injury bust, but as long as he is cheap he will be given chances to compete and produce for us.
