Eh, I thought the same thing about Josh Allen. The bigger issue is durability. If you could trust Richardson to stay healthy, you might be able to live with the inconsistencies as a passer, especially if he showed some growth.

Josh Allen also played in a down field throw offense where Richardson in a short throw sitch, look at Mertz 76% comp, Lagway 61%.
Still Allen remains an outlier

That's not accurate. Richardson was extremely aggressive in college. It's why he had a higher yards per completion average than Allen did. (In fact, Richardson was #1 among all P5 QBs in yards per completion in 2022.) Mertz is/was a checkdown artist. Regardless, nobody is disputing the accuracy is a problem. My point was that I understand why Indianapolis did what they did. They wanted their own Josh Allen. Unfortunately, they've not done much to help Richardson's development, and Richardson struggles to stay healthy.
