On a planet where scouts, player personnel guys, and the Mel Kiper/Daniel Jeremiah types obsess over measureables and drills against air.

NFL GMs convince themselves they can teach a guy with all the measurables to play the position. Sometimes they are correct. See Josh Allen.
You don’t teach someone what Josh Allen has. That’s God given. And Anthony Richardson doesn’t have it or anything like it. At least not yet.

Avg football player makes $2.1m.
Avg tenure is approx 3.3 years.

The league made $18B in revenue in 2022 according to Forbes.

Avg player salary is 0.000117% of revenue. Maybe it isn't slavery. Let's just say it's exploitative.

JaMarcus was a way better QB than Richardson.

He was marginally better. Their stats from their first year starting are nearly identical. Either way, Russell had no business going first overall.
