In a world where Daniel Jones will be at or north of $40 million a season I can totally get why teams would rather risk it on someone like Richardson. Yeah he could be a massive bust, but also could be top 3 QB in the league if he hits his potential. Young is obviously the safer choice, but because his floor is much higher if he doesn't hit his ceiling he may end up being, well, Daniel Jones level, and then you are stuck. If Richardson busts you are right back into the cycle. Until we get a reasonable QB middle class where you can get a Daniel Jones for $20 million a season then gambling seems wiser than playing it safe.
