Well it's clear the Colts need to move on. He's not the answer.
But due to where he was drafted we will see how long they continue to try and force him down Colts fans throats. |

He’s just in year two so they have some time before they have to make a decision about a second contract… which seems like a no brainer not to at this point.

I remember standing in the crowd at the draft when the colts traded up to take Richardson. There was a group of colts fans near us that were freaking out they were so excited to get Richardson. Funny how things work out…

Hopefully with all these huge QB contracts that are not working out this will change but we will see. At least with drafting if it doesn't work out, you aren't stuck w a salary cap killing contract for years. Last edited by PAChiefsGuy; 10-28-2024 at 03:53 PM.. |

This guy was a top 3-5 fantasy QB in most projections. People thought he was just going to magically turn into something he showed zero signs of last season all while not playing. Reality is everything we see now is just a continuation of last season. There appears to be zero progression.

I remember before the draft everyone picking him to go top 5. I thought that the draft guru's were wrong. I mean, I could see that he was trash and I'm just some guy with very limited information and qualifications. When he actually went to Indy, I thought, maybe I don't know as much as I think I do. But here we are. The guy is absolutely trash in the NFL. I just don't get it. How can these scouting experts get something so wrong when common fans knew better?

Overview Dual-threat quarterback with an elite physical profile and a lot of work that needs to be done to reach a potentially high ceiling. Richardson’s frame, arm talent and mobility will demand respect as a potential first-round option. He has the ability to make plays on the move that very few of his NFL peers will be able to make. However, but his accuracy on short and simple throws left much to be desired due, in part, to shoddy footwork and inconsistent rhythm. The footwork issues can be corrected, but the challenge will be determining whether he can be at least a functionally accurate passer at the next level. Richardson’s potential to strike with the deep ball, attack the secondary from sideline to sideline and gash teams with his legs creates greater leeway in his projection as a developmental prospect. Ultimately, he will succeed or fail based on his ability to play with better post-snap recognition and deliver the football with consistency. Seems pretty accurate honestly. Colts just got too excited because of the position and his athletic gifts. |

That said, he was a boom-or-bust prospect. As much as probably any other QB to come out in years. They took a risk drafting him. It was never going to be quick or easy, and his development arc was always going to be longer. Do they have the patience to stick with him and let him grow? Or do they give up early? I would much rather have been the team that drafted Richardson at 4 than Young at 1. Sometimes the big swings play out and sometimes they don’t. He’s had a lot of “wow” plays and that does count for something. |

They didn’t trade up to pick Richardson. They had the fourth pick.

I think(hope?) they’re just trying to light a fire under his ass with Steichens comments. Because even as bad as he’s been, they’re still as good a team with him under center as they are with Flacco, simply because of the threat he presents in the run game. |

I'll say Russell is the only outlier of a brother with a good arm and brains to go along with it. Maybe Daniels and to a lesser extent Stroud could be those guys. Remains to be seen. Usually though, a brother has the athletic ability but lacks the brain or vice versa. Not both at the same time.

I get seeing the potential.. but IIRC, dude didn’t even complete 50% of his passes in college. If you struggle to complete passes against college competition, what are the odds you can do so in the pros? Only guy I can think of who developed like that in recent memory is Josh Allen. Quote:

He got his brains from the white side and his athleticism from the black side.
Got it. |
