QB Guru John Beck on Whether Anthony Richardson Can Be a Day-One NFL Starter | The Rich Eisen Show

[@AJHami]

The thing with AR is yes he’s Uber talented. But he’s also very intelligent and able to process quickly. His movement in the pocket it elite. He looks to pass first. And he works hard and wants to be coached. Gonna be a lot of people who are wrong about this dude.

[@TrippyCommentaries]

You never watched him as a Gator. Intelligent is not exactly what he looked like for them.

[@xrpxtrariceplease2811]

All he needs is proper coaching and give him time to learned from his mistakes. He can throw an interception and the next time with the ball he will make a big runs or throw for 40 yards

[@zackhurwitz9441]

Glad to hear a former player (and a pro QB at that) confirm what I've said forever. It's in a rookie QB's best interest to hold a clipboard for a while, Pat McAfee said the same thing about a QB even as pro ready as Andrew Luck. Development needs to occur, whoever has the patience to do so with Richardson will reap the rewards.

[@zackhurwitz9441]

@noturbusiness123 we shall see, certainly went to a situation where he can thrive.

[@wyattlaw4952]

Hey John and Rich. Doesn't Indy have Gardner Minshew in the QB room already?

[@rickyrougs]

yes and they still drafted him haha

[@dttruman]

If a Day-one rookie starter is to be successful, he better be properly surrounded by talented personnel and the only time I remember that was when Ben Roethlisberger started and he had it all. Top notch RB, Top notch WRs, Top notch O-Line and even a Top notch defense.

[@SosaBryceHarper]

[@dttruman]

@@SosaBryceHarper Are you kidding! He got beat up so many times, he finally decided to quit football. Roethlisberger was in the playoffs for most of his career except for a few years.

AR will only be a star if he goes to the right system. As a panthers fan I don’t want AR but if we do somehow pick him he can develop with the coaches we have.

If he ends up in the right place.

[@johngarynavida]

Minshew and Foles are in Indy Rich.

[@cedricbryant6360]

He may have the highest ceiling for a QB in this particular era of football. He’s like cam Newton and Lamar Jackson combined into 1

[@ngc-fo5te]

I just don't buy these ceiling arguments we hear year after year. Take Richardson - his ceiling, if you even want to acknowledge the term, seems quite low.

[@superdopehiphop]

@@ngc-fo5te nah his ceiling is immense

[@ngc-fo5te]

@SuperDopeHipHop Why? He plays a position that doesn't require great athleticism and what it does require are the things he seemingly doesn't have. Sure he might be good but it seems unlikely. He's certainly more likely to never make it than be a future Hall of Famer - in fact far more likely.

[@TWP13]

@@ngc-fo5te If you think in 2023 playing QB doesn't require great athleticism you haven't watched football in 15 years. Oh ya, the most athletic QB in the league is now the highest paid. What an L take.

[@brandonshirey400]

They are not ready but Richardson has 13 starts. He needs patience and snaps. Get him game reps.

[@mattwa33186]

Man... the idea that John Beck is a QB guru kind of blows my mind. He got a really bad deal with that o-line, but "tight window throws" were not something he had in his arsenal.

[@jarodrochell1310]

I mean, most gurus weren’t great at the craft themselves. The best hitting coaches usually aren’t HOFers, same for basketball coaches, nfl head coaches etc… it’s a different skill set, and more about knowledge than anything

[@cedricbryant6360]

He was always a real cerebral qb tho. He’s a Shanahan mindset guy.

The cupboard isn’t bare in Indy Rich Minshew has played - and won - plenty of NFL games

[@studedude56]

They missed him for sure

[@superdopehiphop]

While Foles won Super Bowl and had another great year as well with 27-2 TD/INT ratio

[@kokoken1]

Look at what happened with the Colts. Matt Ryan had a horrible season and was benched in favor of Sam Ehlinger. The scenario John just described -- the veteran sputters, is benched and now the new guy gets thrown into the fire -- is the exact reason a great coach like Andy Reid sits Patrick Mahomes for his first year so that he can learn how to do it from Alex Smith. The rookie who saves the season from the first time he takes a real snap happens so rarely, it shouldn't even be considered. And yet it is.

[@117Awesome]

It’s a different situation though, Alex Smith was playing MVP level football before he got hurt and had a bunch of weapons and elite coaching. Most teams in a position to draft a guy in the top 10 don’t have that luxury. They could tread out a veteran who can’t run the offense well because they don’t have the weapons or O line.

[@gabesoto9301]

I think any team that takes AR is taking him with the understanding that he’s going to need to sit for at least a full year. I think he’s going to Indy and he’ll sit behind Gardner Minshew and Nick Foles. Idk why he was acting like the Colts had no one capable of helping AR along the way. At this point, Minshew has been around the block and been a starter as well as a backup. And Foles has obviously been a pro for a long time now. I think Minshew starts for a year, Foles is the backup and AR is the 3rd QB.

[@breonmitchell2443]

Don't need sit 😂 always say black Qb sit Caucasian 1s play day 1 😭😭😂😭

[@gabesoto9301]

@@breonmitchell2443 No you idiot he only started 13 games in college and had a 56% completion percentage. He’s shown he has good pocket presence and he can read defenses but he simply doesn’t have enough reps. He’s 21 and started in 13 games since high school and you want him to start right away in the NFL? You’re nuts. Sitting a rookie QB until they’re ready is always a good idea. Mahomes sat his 1st year because he was more raw coming out of college. You’re statement also makes no sense because Bryce Young and CJ Stroud will be starters day 1.

@Austin Howser they didn't have great college numbers is my point though. Brady had a small college sample size, just like AR

[@andrewvillanueva3722]

Anthony Richardson needs to sit one year and learn the quarterback position in the nfl. He has all the physical tools but he lacks experience. Jon Beck is totally correct he needs to learn from a veteran quarterback.

[@dttruman]

And he lacks the knowledge of the intricacies of complex NFL defenses. He would impress me off the field, if he put in more time with his WRs and spent more time with a good QB coach and offensive coordinator in the film room. In other words, be obsessive like Brady

[@superdopehiphop]

Nick Foles is a vet who won a SB and had another year with like 27 pass TDs and 2 INT. Menshew also been one of the best backups the last 5 years.
