AR 5

[TEBOW TIME]

Just watched every snap he had in his first preseason game and it looked a lot like his year at Florida. Throw an interception his second or third throw of the day. He's gonna find out the boys on Sunday are a lot faster than the boys on Saturday. 7-12 for 67 yards, interception and 67 yards rushing and played 3 series

I wasn't impressed at all and it looked just like last yr. It is his first NFL experience ever though so don't be too harsh lol

I want to see him play a full yr before I judge. I thought he was going to get the GM fired (not his fault) if he had to play early. Something I'm monitoring this yr is his play, got the NFL pass or whatever it's called.

All the Colts fans are probably like…

“Well, it’s just one game…”

Lol.

 

[PacoGator19]

I have always thought he would struggle in the NFL but come on. It’s his first NFL game and got thrown to the wolves and quite frankly he doesn’t even have that much game experience in college. The best thing for him to to probably sit for a year and continue to develop but he may not have that luxury due to the Colts QB situation. His future isn’t determined by this one preseason game.

He's a Gator and seems like a really good kid. I will pull for him to have a successful NFL career.

I have a large discrepancy between what I want and what I expect.

I want AR to have a fantastic NFL career and actually be a Gator QB who is also a top NFL QB.

What I expect is, well, less.

Yeah, but sadgator’s still admittedly still butt hurt over the thought that he didn’t try as hard as he could and in the way he bailed in the end…

 

[bradleygator]

Man did that pick look familiar. It was that same zone read action and he was so jittery and trying to get to the throw, he didn’t even execute the fake.

I think he is just terrible at that handoff read. He makes up his mind before the play what he’s going to do with it. That’s a tough handicap for a running qb.

 

[ocalaman]

I will always pull for Gators to make it in the pros and AR seems like a great young man. But I respect Shane Matthews, who has expressed doubts about him from the time he stepped foot on the UF campus. He has the body and arm strength, but just doesn't have the "it" factor to be a consistently winning QB - reading defenses, making quick/correct decisions during a play, throwing accurately on a regular basis, etc. Because the Colts drafted him so high and has a huge investment in him, he'll be given every chance possible to make it in the NFL. I hope he proves Shane wrong, but I'll be very surprised if AR makes it (although he's already rich with his signing bonus, so in that respect he already has made it).

…and just like that…he’s named the starter…

Richardson “shocked” to be named starter. Just what fans want to hear.

Sure wish he would have done more of this when he played at Florida especially vs Vandy last year.

AR is a Gator so I will cheer for him to succeed. However, he irritated me last year because often times he was playing not to get hurt.

He left today's game with a concussion

Dang. That stinks.

 

[TEBOW TIME]

1st QB in NFL history to have 4 rushing TD's in his first 3 career starts

 

[bradleygator]

Yeah the further he gets away from Billy Napier’s offensive coordinating the better he looks, even against NFL defenses. Hmmmmm.

 

[Countygator1]

AR is playing fairly well. But he's relying on his legs. He will need to learn how to sit in the pocket and accurately deliver the ball downfield. Running too much will only earn him more time in concussion protocol.

 

[gatordad3]

AR-15 pretty much played all last season not to get hurt. He goes down with a shoulder injury and may be out a while. Imagine my shock.

Regardless of what anyone thought of his on field performance, he's a Gator who always represented with class. Hope he has a speedy recovery.

He was always a little fragile. I can see why he would play not to get hurt until after he got those fat NFL $$$

 

[LizardGrad89]

He was more concerned about his career than the Gators. Not casting shade, those are a lot of $$$ to risk. But it's hard to get a feel for Napier as OC with the QB going 80% most of the time.

AR was very savvy at UF. His goal seemed to be to not get hurt, but manage to generate some highlight reel plays every game for maximum tape cachet, which got the attention of the NFL GM's. So at the end of the year the GM's were saying "incredible physical specimen, looks great on tape, injury free." What's not to like? That's how you jump from mid/late 1st round to top 5 overall.

While there is some NFL discussion here, it's time for the Buccaneers to plant Kyle Trask as the starter. Baker Mayfield is garbage. Especially if Todd Bowles wants to save his job.

Totally agree.

With Philadelphia being the last undefeated team to suffer their first loss, of course the last surviving members of the 1972 Miami Dolphins squad again popped the cork of another champagne.
