When you draft the ultimate boom/bust prospect, nobody should be surprised that he busts. Richardson looks like the classic athletic QB with cannon arm that can't process fast enough or throw with the required accuracy for the NFL. Statistically he's amongst the worst top 10 picked QB's ever in a dead heat with Russell, Rosen, Harrington, Leinart. Ask Bears fans what happens when you draft a QB top 10 that only had 13 career college starts (Mr. Biscuit). The fact that his record as a starter is 8-7 just goes to show what athletic freak he is when he has room to take off and run but in the NFL you need a QB that can make all the throws. I would say the Colts going with Danny Dimes is the best thing that could happen to Richards as maybe he can develop better at a slower pace rather than being thrown into the fire and failing. I don't like his chances as we have seen this type of QB fail more than not.
