I think, and there's a lot of hopium in here, but I do think with him back there, we could see an offense that becomes elite- even at the latter portion of this year. In that game the other night you already saw the impact Richardson has on the D line- and the holes that created for JAG's. Now imagine a true 60+ everytime he touches it threat back there with him. The front 7 is going to be on skates and every little fake- which Richardson already looks to be fantastic at- is going to create gapping holes. Then imagine the likes of Richardson and JT in a stretch mode- and the madness that could result from him NOT giving the ball off but planting and throwing 60 yard streaks...
To me, that's the difference- him coming back could put us on schedule to become a really dangerous offense in a much shorter time, and it could benefit his potential to get rewarded. Unfortunately he / his agent appear too dense to see the value of this potential.
