I remembered one of my friends who's an SEC apologist referred to the beating he took 'playing in the SEC' as reasons for his problems in the NFL. However in finding this it seems that Richardson's struggles might be related more to his football IQ then previously thought.

However in all fairness if wear and tear is a problem it actually might be more related to the program he was a part of rather then the conference. I've heard on more then one occasion that Saban has a reputation for having very physical practices and it's not too crazy to think that more then a few Alabama players have a little bit more wear and tear then other players when they start their pro careers.

Either way I guess that's preferable to the LSU players in the NFL bust theory which states that many players that come out of LSU are physical freaks with low football IQ's and tend to get lazy once they start getting paid.

Though the NFL is certainly grueling I've noticed that pro coaches seem to be a little more cautious as a whole when it comes to making sure guys are healthy during the season. Regardless Richardson better hope he can make a Mershawn Lynch like turn around because at this rate he's looking to be a huge bust.
