Anthony Richardson, Josh Allen, and the danger of drafting inaccurate quarterbacks
In my recent piece on the value of drafting a quarterback, I was surprised to see that many readers suggested targeting Anthony Richardson in the first round. This was unexpected to me because I simply don’t see it with the formerpasser. To be fair, I thought the same thing about Josh Allen when he was coming out of Wyoming. Obviously, Allen has turned into one of the most explosive players in the NFL, but he didn’t start out that way.
You can see some very similar statements, particularly around the “mental” or “processing” aspects of the game. Nobody doubted Allen’s arm and athleticism, and the same can be said for Richardson. However, I think we should look at Josh Allen as an outlier, and not the norm. As the report above noted, the currentstar had noted accuracy problems in college. In fact, he and Richardson’s stats in their final collegiate season are remarkably similar.
Josh Allen and Anthony Richardson in their final college seasons. I am thinking that most people that are high on Richardson are hoping for a similar trajectory, but it should be noted that Allen is an exception... inaccurate passers in college rarely become accurate in the NFL.
