If people keep saying he's the #1 pick enough surely it will become true

it's Shedeur Sanders all over again... just wait for Mel Kiper to melt down while Arch drops like a rock during the draft

u/Geiseric222 7d ago

The sad part is he probably still will be because the narrative is to strong

NFL GMs aren't losing their job over a narrative

Anthony Richard’s got drafted high

Don’t underestimate them

u/RukiMotomiya 7d ago

But he wasn't the #1 pick, he was the third QB taken.

u/Geiseric222 7d ago

Yes and he could not play the position of QB

He should have been a forth round flier not third QB

u/RukiMotomiya 7d ago

I completely agree, but the entire first post was that he would be the first overall QB entirely due to narrative. Richardson being the 3rd QB taken doesn't really show that.

Yes but the point is narrative can be a boost.

Manning has had times were he looked good and the narrative can paper over the rest

Anthony Richardson is the most athletic QB to ever come out. It didn’t pan out but he would have been in the Josh Allen tier if he took the game seriously and developed correctly.

Arch on the other hand doesn’t have any elite traits

I would say Cam Newton holds that title. AR and Newton are literally identical in height and weight and athletic ability, but Cam actually worked out. That’s just my opinion though.

u/SituationKey8985 7d ago

Fair enough but the point is there was a legit reason to draft AR even if was risky. It wasn’t a media narrative draft pick.

Josh Allen single handedly got an entire generation of Tools™ QB prospects over drafted. Every GM wants to draft underdeveloped tools QBs anyways and Josh Allen provided the justification.

Pffft you underestimate NFL GM egos.

Zach Wilson has entered the chat

Also not the #1 pick.

u/SaltyBarDog 7d ago

That isn't the flex you think it is. If you are drafting a QB top five, he should be what you are building around.

u/RukiMotomiya 7d ago

The first post was that he'd be the first overall (and thus above not only above other QBs but also guys like Jeremiah Smith) due to narrative, so Zach Wilson doesn't say anything about that.

u/JokeandCack 7d ago

Hmmm, I think that’s exactly something they would do lol

Have seen some of the shit drafted highly?
