Anthony Richardson is your 1.01 now

Yeah, I have, I just said that.

Cool man, sweet, just checking.

Good talk.

All good. Like I said, I've seen worse coming out of college, but all this recent stuff added to that. Yes. It's very concerning. I am pulling for him, but the reality is, doesn't matter how big you are, if you can't avoid injuries. The idea he's big was supposed to be a point for his durability. The reality is, this may cap his upside, too, because they will be a lot less prone to running him as much, to max out his FF upside, due to injury concerns. You also can't have much upside for FF, on IR.

Feels like RG3 all over again... but he can actually pass... not sure what it means, but he has to protect himself better

He has impressed much more so than I would have given him credit , hopefully he can put it together and stay on the field .. I am rooting for this kid he is electric.

Your Devils advocate:

This man only played in 13 games as a college starter. Started one single college game in 2021 as the backup to Emory Jones. Played all 12 games in 2022.

Our current data sample:

13 College Starts
4 NFL Starts

17 games total played:

1x Grade 2 Hamstring
1x Miniscus Tear
2x Grade 1 Concussions
1x Shoulder AC Joint Sprain

Good sirs... I am positing to you: this man's injuries sustained on a per-game basis are begining to suggest... that maybe, just *maybe*...

The big man is just a little bit injury prone.

Now trending toward Season Ending Surgery per Rapoport.

If this does indeed go ahead - then it is a pretty troubling data set for him in the Pros, right off the bat:

Started 4 Games, Finished 1 of them.
Grade 1 Concussion sustained in 2nd game, missed a week.
Season Ending surgery due to AC Sprain in Week 5.
Missed 76% of his rookie season due to injuries.

"Availability is the best ability". I love the talent, and the fantasy advantage when he's on the field is clear.

But thus far, he has absolutely confirmed the worst of our "injury prone" fears - continuing exactly what we saw in College. Bummer.
