Anthony Richardson looks good in practice. No eye problems, strong arm, hitting every receiver. He might…gasp…wait for it…beat out Riley Leonard for the backup role.

Oh, will the nightmare ever stop?

Am I alone in seeing no downside to this? I assume that the only way he claws his way up the depth chart is if he displays a degree of maturity missing up til now.

Call me crazy, but that isn’t impossible if for no other reason than the fact that the brain is reaching maturity when your 24th birthday rolls around.

The bottom line is that we just don’t have a window into what’s happening in the Quarterback room. We don’t know if the young man has discovered a zeal for film study. We don’t know if his recognition skills have progressed.

By the time training camp ends, we should have a few answers. If he leapfrogs Leonard, the sky hasn’t fallen. Leonard is young, and another year riding the bench isn’t a career killer.
