I think the only way this makes sense is if you are sitting Richardson for Flacco with the understanding that you want him to work on his throwing mechanics right now. I could get on board with that- some of those throws just need to be made at a NFL level.
If you can't take what the defense is giving you underneath (one of those clips is a 7 yard out FFS), then the best coaching staff in the world isn't going to make a difference. I do think the entire situation has been mishandled though. |

I don't know how he got drafted that high after reading all the dumb shit he says. He legitimately has a fridge temp football IQ. How does he get through the myriad of interviews during the pre draft process and this not show up as a flashing neon sign

Modern day Jamarcus Russel.
I was wow'd by his early displays of arm talent. I was off. |

It’s hard to say for certain he’ll be a bust because he does have some good physical traits, but it’s beyond obvious now just as it was when this thread was started that he is nowhere close to ready to start games.
He should have sat all last season behind Minshew or maybe brought in a more established veteran last year like Flacco or Wentz to let him sit behind. But after screwing that chance up last season, if you are going to throw him out there again this season then you just have to live with the chaos and losing and hope he improves. That said, surely they knew he still wasn’t ready this season, but because they already bypassed the sit behind a veteran option last year, it’s really hard to restart that process from the beginning of this season. So now they are forced to bench him because he’s completely unplayable and they appear to have no idea what to do with him. |

It's easy to get enamored by big armed QBs but when it comes down to it accuracy matters more. Chad Pennington could probably barely throw 40 yards and he had a very good career.

Then I kept going and man, he misses everywhere. Wide, short, too hot, too short. It was like watching my golf swing. If there was one thing wrong, maybe I'd be fairly confident in resolving it. But it seems like there's a different 'oops' on about every one of those tosses. |

Yeah, that single sentence uttered probably put the kibosh on any miniscule chance he'd had of a successful career. I'm sure the folks in the Colts organization already saw how undedicated he was to football, but now he's publicly admitted to it multiple times. What competent coach is going to hitch their wagon to this guy?

Woof. Chris Ballard has become persona non grata with Colts fans after this. Like, he's reaching genuine Pioli levels of hatred in that fan base.

In the OPs defense, Anthony Richardson has become a problem

Everyone gave Ballard shit because he was "to scared to go get a QB in the draft"
He does it, and they're still pissed. Almost like it's really ****ing hard and takes alot of luck. |
