I mean, it’s not unwarranted. Only three QBs since 2000 have a worse completion rate than AR: Tim Tebow, Mike McMahon, and Akili Smith. Other QBs like Ryan Leaf, Curtis Painter, and JaMarcus Russell all outperform him.
Until AR5 gets another year under his belt (playing or otherwise), I’d probably give the 1-4 nod to Aaron Curry. That guy was supposed to be as “can’t miss” as a prospect can be, but only went 4th because he was an LB and not a QB.
Then…he missed badly
Hope-ium is what keeps Colts fans going.
Damn they already have him worse than Bjorn Werner?
Akili Smith was way worse than Russel.
A lot of recency bias in this.
Clelin Ferrel I think is an easier argument for worst pick at 4 in the last 10 years. Kyle Pitts was drafted at 4 with the biggest hype for a TE that I can remember and has been largely disappointing. Anthony was drafted knowing there were going to be growing pains. Unfortunately for us, it has been more painful than we thought it would be to start.
Def a little premature. Give him year 3. If he takes a massive step forward, great. If he bombs… well…
This list was made by someone born after 2010
Recency bias goes hard
Aaron Curry retired 5 years in with no impact. Objectively worse than Richardson who has been pretty bad so far but has accounted for 21 touchdowns in 15 games.
If he never plays another down he won’t be the biggest bust at #4.
This must be engagement bate. Aaron Curry and Mike Williams are two of the biggest draft busts of all time not just limited to being picked 4th.
The recency bias in this here picture is wild
Feel like some people weren’t high on Richardson coming out, understandably. And can’t help but give themselves a pat on the back every chance they get at this point. Is AR a bust candidate, sure. But this list is a joke.
Does anyone else feel the Donald brown hate is a little overstated? I know he had injuries and a short shelf life relative to a 1st round pick, but he had some moments in his career… I don’t know how much a dependable two rb for 6-7 years is relative to end of first round expectations
This looks like it was made by someone quite young. That said, AR is definitely top 5 worst 4th pick.
I could almost guarantee there’s a worse 3rd than Lance
Whoever made this list doesn’t know a single player before 2010.
AR has not been good. AR has not been the worst #4 pick ever.

Was Wilson really worse than Leaf?
