Well, what else has anyone claimed he
could be? A big, athletic, dual-threat QB with great arm strength, but lacking accuracy? Admittedly I haven't watched much of Richardson at all, but I don't think I've heard anything positive about him aside from his athleticism and measurables.
Cam Newton had a perfect 10.0 RAS, measured elite in basically every category, and is taller and bigger than Richardson. So any athletic comparison is going to be splitting hairs at best. And obviously Cam Newton had proof of concept by winning the Heisman and a National Championship.
And it seems to me to be a stretch to expect him to even be Cam Newton. So if we're going to gamble on a guy, I don't know if we want to do it with a guy who is (unlikely best case) in that mold. I think these other guys have a playstyle more conducive to long term success if they work out.
