So I had Richardson making good decisions 37 times out of the 38 times that he threw the ball yesterday ...... not bad for a rookie with expectations that are through-the-roof making his career debut in the NFL.

On the other hand, I do think that he should be a little more judicious in regard to deciding when (and how often) to run with abandon ...... especially when considering the possibility that the offensive line may not be very good this year.
For example, I thought that it was a reasonably good decision for him to lower his shoulder and plow forward on 4th down with the game on the line in the final minutes of the 4th quarter yesterday ...... but I
DO NOT think that it was such a good decision when he did the same thing on the very next play when it was 1st down.
