From the video
obviously he's coming off the Achilles. Even prior to the Achilles, you were kind of seeing like once like the honeymoon phase got over... he can't read cover six. He has issues with certain types of zone coverages... The teams have all figured out what Shane's doing... he can't create... if Richardson gets a shot here down the stretch. They keep losing... he was making big plays, but also making big mistakes. You know who else was making big plays and big mistakes in his first two and a half years of his career? Brock Perie... he's in the 99th percentile in terms of athlete.
STACKED’s take
Fundamental issues predate injury, but athleticism and Purdy comp make him Eagles trade target.
Richardson has fundamental performance issues that predate his Achilles injury; cannot read cover six, struggles with zone coverages in the middle of the field, lacks ability to create outside structure, and gets pocket blind. Teams have figured out the offensive scheme, creating significant concerns about his viability even post-recovery. However, Brandon Angelo positions him as a potential Eagles trade target and preferred QB option over Daniel Jones, emphasizing that Indianapolis rushed him off the field prematurely due to image concerns rather than performance. His early mistakes (big plays and big mistakes in first 2.5 years) are comparable to Brock Purdy's early career trajectory. Richardson's athleticism is noted as 99th percentile, and he is advocated as a better long-term investment than pursuing top-tier 2027 QB prospects if the Eagles cannot secure a top draft pick.
