OT: AR-15 goes 6-17 and CBS Sports states he had 'productive' outing

[gamecockcat]

I know it's preseason, but completing 35% against base/vanilla defensive schemes with, undoubtedly, several starters not playing is hardly productive, imo. He picked up some yards running but I can't believe the Colts picked him #4 to run the ball.

Don't understand why CBS thought he had a productive game.

Is that some kind of rifle or something?

It’s a narrative plain and simple

But Levi’s goes the same and he’s struggling.

Ar15 is going to stink this year no way around it. He was poor in college and the thought he’s going to be decent as a rookie is dumb….but colts are going down this path regardless

Maybe in three years this genius coach can
Scheme it up and Coach up Ar15 ljke he did in Philly…but year one is a mess

Richardson will bust, if not on the field, then off. Bank on it. He's a narcissist with limited arm talent beyond strength.

AR, like many others, is going to prove the combine can’t judge what’s between the ears. I’ve never seen a guy get more rattled after he makes a mistake, he throws one pick and it’s game over.

Only if he's driving the Uber.

It makes me remember our game against him in the swamp and the “beep, beep, beep” sound of the announcers backing up most of the game after over hyping him at the start.

Good Times.

I question some beat/network writer’s abilities. Many of them don’t want to say much negative (especially rookies.) I understand not backing the bus over rookies during preseason, but there’s no doubt they jump on the bandwagon of who they will/will not write negative things about. One negative article will cause an avalanche with the other writers following behind them.

Read 2 articles over Bfast and listened to 10 mins of sports radio while driving. A second national outlet called last night a mediocre performance. Sports radio was much more negative.

I don’t want to see any man fail when it comes to professional. But, running QBs will not win many NFL football games unless they have better than average accuracy. Harbaugh deserves credit for building an offense around Lamar’s strengths. They utilize the TE and midrange passing game to fit Lamar. Now, he’s developed other parts of his passing game. I don’t think Indy will be patient with AR. Nor do I think they have a strong team around him.

Pretty dead on. Also….AR isn’t close to Lamar from a pure football athlete standpoint with his legs and shiftiness. AR is a basketball type athlete playing football…meaning, maybe he’s the better overall athlete but some of his athletic advantage doesn’t translate to the backfield/open field w the ball. “Basketball” athleticism translates to outside WR/TE much better where lateral quickness/shiftiness is a little less important when you’re 6’4+ and can run like a gazelle and have a good vertical jump.

AR may be able to succeed if complete offense was developed around his skillset. Few NFL coaches do that. Harbaugh deserves credit for what he’s done with Lamar. But, they almost always have great defenses.

I’m guessing Indy gives this 2 years. (That’s all most starting QBs get.

He’ll be successful if they run combine drills for points instead of playing real football.

Totally....a reel of stupid McShay, Orvlskey, Spears, etc...should be played for how stupid this was to pick him so high based upon his 40 time, high jump, and even his backflip after throwing a long pass (albeit with no defense on the field).

Why his terrible SEC play for 2years played little to no impact vs. his combine results is yet another example of crazy NFL QB assessment..
