Richards

No one was open. Where is the separation? Can’t blame the QB for that.

You'd be amazed at how much more wide open our WRs would have looked with out having to come back for underthrown bombs or pulling up early as the passes sailed 10 feet over their heads.

On a few occasions (Greedy vs AR down the sideline close to the endzone was one), instead of throwing some of those deep passes further out in front of our wrs and allowing them to accelerate to the ball Rosier instead underthrew the ball and forced our wr to come back and play defense. Rosier's inaccuracy greatly contributes to the perception of a lack of separation by our WRs, imo.

Being at the game the receivers were open all night, Rosiers gotta go. Scrambled when he didn’t have to and every pass floated, no zip or accuracy. OLine held up ok, not dominant but did a decent job. On defense Dean got worked all night, and interior dline got smacked around early
 
Hamstring injuries are wicked according to sources close to the situation.

Richards is pedestrian. Struggles to separate against tight coverage, doesn't fight for the ball, can't be trusted during 50/50 balls.
Early in the game he had a chance to go up and make a big play and he waited for the ball to land in his hands instead of fighting for it.

The scout assessment of him that I saw was spot-on. He only excels versus off coverage. Get in his face and he's done.

Pretty sure Brooklyndee posted on the gameday board that Richards was sidelined because he went off on Rosier early in the game and/or at halftime. Supposedly, other players were getting on Rosier, too. TIFWIW.

Dee's comments about Richt and Richt Jr. are what's the most concerning to me. QB development is clearly not happening and we have no one unseating Rosier at QB.

Rosier's messing with Ahmmon's money now. Ahmmon's playing for 1st round money and at this point doesn't even look like he'd get drafted.

Ahmmon is playing with Ahmmon's money.
He hasn't worked his way into being a 1st round WR.

He had a chance to make a 1st round play tonight and he blew it.

I was at the game tonight and said the exact same thing. Kid showed no desire to go up and compete for the ball. It's like if it ain't in his chest, he ain't gonna exert himself too much in going to get

Not disagreeing. Rosier sucks donkey ****. But we are suppose to be elite at WR. Didn’t look that way at all.

Dude, Jeff Thomas was exceptional tonight. Hightower showed he's got potential to possibly play on Sunday's in a few years. The rest of those guys were open most of the night. I was at the game and I lost count of how many times we saw open receivers running down field and no passes thrown their way.

In Rosier's defence, the play of the OL didn't help, but the instances where he had the time to throw, he would mostly misfire or tuck it and run.

****...u just killed him 🤦🏾‍♂️
 
He is obviously not in sync with Rosier and has no interest in hiding it. Very reminiscent of some games late last season.

I was hoping there would be a change from 2017 but from early in the game when the balls were being forced to receivers other than Richards I was thinking it could unfold similarly again.

I can't say I remember a similar situation in 50 seasons following this team. There was one year we wasted Chuck Foreman at wide receiver with quarterbacks who couldn't throw. That's the only thing I can think of immediately in terms of squandering immense talent but it is hardly comparable since this seems to be attitude more than anything else.
