He got benched because of the tap out, the team wanted to send the message you can’t do that. He’s still the guy though. Most Colts fans still think he’s the guy…. For the moment at least.
AR is 5-5 as a starter and the only flaw is his short/intermediate passing game. He will figure it out and people calling him a bust already will act like they never said he was. Plus 99.9% of people calling AR a bust said Bryce Young was a can't miss prospect, ignore their stupidity
The solution is simple. Keep Richardson, keep Steichen, fire Ballard! This team has a real internal problem that starts with ownership but unfortunately you can’t fire Irsay. Irsay needs to get rid of Ballard and bring in somebody competent that’s not afraid to make moves.
Guys get paid to sit up there and talk but have no idea why Richardson was benched?! COME ONN. His stats will tell you all you need to see. Being tired was just the icing on the cake. Smh.
Feel sorry Richardson he should ofnever been a started. He never played a lot of games in college and this team should of know he needed help to develop. Hopefully he comes back and works on his mechanics and defense reads.
Ian is 100% right on the money about the history of young QBs being benched. They never go on to succeed with the same team that benched them. Maybe AR will be the outlier🤷♂️.
I think benching was imperative. The tapout sealed it. It sends a clear message to all talented young prospects in this league. Tapping out is NOT OK. Ur not a superstar. U have to prove u belong here. There's that mentality that says u can just walk into greatness. It doesn't work that way. U have to work/study/fight for it
Josh Allen had way 3x as many snaps under center and was a way better runner of the football. There were making Cam Newton comparisons when he was drafted, not to mention he was a better passer than Richardson is at the same point into their NFL career's. Josh was just trying bad passes he could get away with in college hence the turnover issues Peyton Manning was the same way. Richardson isn't struggling with game speed he struggling with accuracy and reading basic coverages. And they're right he's only going to get better by playing through the mistakes. But this isn't college you have 52 other guys on that roster trying to get paid and unfortunately bad QB play depreciates every. Except RBs, offensive linemen, defensive linemen and edge rushers. Why should they lose money just so one guy can figure things out?
a lot of the negativity surrounding Josh Allen (and Jordan Love) coming out of college was because they played in the Mountain West.. Meanwhile AR got a pass cause he was in the SEC lol
Although some were making Cam Newton comparisons (so did Lamar) his 16-8 record against mostly Mountain West opponents left much to be desired. AR is 5-5. Josh Allen went 5-6 his first year completed just 52.6 % of his passes and had 10 TD / 12 picks. So if we look back far enough, we can see that yes Josh Allen wasn't that special his rookie season either statistically. We should give it time to see what we have before us.
@raphaelmckinney they were not comparing Lamar Jackson to Cam Newton especially when they're style of play are nothing alike even at the collegiate level. Lamar was compared to Mike Vick for their incredible speed and affinity to avoid big hits. As where Cam and Josh Allen initiate contact and play every bit as big as their 6'5ft frames allow. Anthony doesn't have the arm strength, arm talent or feel for the QB position that Josh Allen showed his rookie season. You people just quote stats idc about that what do your eyes tell you and there's not a scout in the League that would take rookie Ant over rookie Allen. Like I said Josh suffered from decision making Ant sufferers from a inability to read coverage, arm mechanical issues, reading his progressions, running the correct plays and protecting himself better in and outside of the pocket smh. He can't even run a rpo college style offense Greg Roman utilized with Lamar because Ant isn't a great touch passer like Lamar was. Lamar could make any pass 5-10 yards out consistently Ant can't
Why are these guys arguing so hard for Richardson when they were ready to throw other failed QBs away such as Zach Wilson and Mac Jones? As bad as both of those looked as starters, they weren't anywhere near as bad as Richardson. Is it the NFL's fault he didn't play enough before getting drafted? He shouldn't be in the pros. He shouldn't have been drafted. He looked awful in the limited amount of college starts he had and looks worse now. He's not good enough and has too much catching up to do to get there.
Fire Ballard, and Steichen needs to call plays to ARs strength. Why is he calling plays like he is a pure pocket passer when that is something he needs to slowly develop into. The offense should built around JT (for now) bc we all knew this was gonna take at least 3 years of development. The colts have failed yet again at the QB situation.
In year 2, Josh Allen was already taking his team to the playoffs with 20tds and 9ints, and this was before his superstar leap. One day, we'll stop pretending that Josh and Anthony are the exact same, but probably not anytime soon, unfortunately.
Nobody said they're the exact same. They have similar numbers through their first 10 starts and they are similar talent wise. The argument is: imagine if Buffalo benched Josh after his first 10 games. AR may never reach the level that Josh Allen is at, but we do have a clear example of why you probably shouldn't bench a young project qb after just 10 games.
Teams knew one thing. They knew they could fix the faults that he has. So all the teams that saw his potential called in. To most teams they figured the Colts just gave up on him and figured he was available. Also no one called for Bryce Young if they did we would've heard about that first before the AR stuff. I will say this the Colts have to figure out what they want to do. The teams that called probably all had the same plan which was to fix the problems he had. They probably even knew they could do it. So teams have better QB coaches and wanted to see what the asking price was.
They got too much invested in him to somply let him go. I wouldnt either. Its not too late he can still become something. But he's got a tall mountain to climb, and the clock is ticking
Anthony Richardson is debatably worse than JaMarcus Russell. It is not reasonable to believe that a QB that had a 53% completion % as a starter in college is going to succeed in the NFL.
SO... You benched Richardson for sorry flacco who stunk the other night WHY won't they just trade him if he's so bad?!?! Riddick was spot on. Josh Allen was 🗑️ his first 10 starts with a better team SMH 🤔
@@breonmitchell2443 He's not an NFL QB. Period. Just like Trey Lance, Josh Rosen, JaMarcus Russell, Akili Smith, etc. Just because they were drafted high doesn't make them one. Just because these clueless analysts had him high on their draft boards and don't want their pride hurt, doesn't make him one either. Any good GM can see that he's not NFL QB material. But speaking of the Giants, they have do a joke of a GM right now, but he'll be gone by the end of the season.
He’s not Josh Allen. The thing that can’t be measured is heart. Josh was raw and struggled early on but he was always an absolute dog. His will is a big part of his game and Richardson hasn’t shown that! When someone shows you who they are, believe them! You have a better chance at seeing Josh on one leg or operating on one lung than seeing him tap his helmet on a 3rd down. Side note- Dan is trippin, Josh didn’t inherit a good team, the defense was solid, but the talent around him on the offensive side was nonexistent! He came into a good culture but he didn’t start with a Michael Pittman, Josh Downs, Quentin Nelson. Maybe AR develops, but they’re not the same guy.
I saw Richardson push an entire pile into the endzone after handing the ball off. He shook off a linebacker and made a play out of nothing on the play he took a knee on. He has plenty of heart he's just young and struggles to make the routine throws at times..but he also throws rockets and bulldozes his way into the endzone when needed. That one play only defines him to people who haven't watched enough to know anything else. 💯
Makes total sense. They can get far more for him during the off-season. Never trade a QB unless you can clean house. Then dump them and never look back. Richardson will never grow into an elite QB. He might be passable. But he will never take a franchise to the Game.
Not Anthony Richardson its offense cordinator got him in system like he cant run... Josh Allen got Stephen Diggs you see he talent come out Giants trying make trade wanted start him see Josh Allen comparison
Colts made horrible decisions think its offensive coordinator Josh Allen an Anthony richardson 1st 10 games are literally the same... Bills traded got Stephen diggs josh got more experience he developed to great Qb... Colts dont have Wr that take over game,Anthony Richardson Giants trying make that trade
He isn't worth that at this time. And I don't think he will ever be that valuable. If the Colts can get a Second Rounder...then they got a tough decision. Keep him as a backup...or move on? Me...I would have traded him. He lacks intregity.
Multiple gm’s wete calling them for him Flacco sucks A** literally passed his prime I done seen the worse QBs succeed when everything goes right when the team is just clicking he doesn’t have to do to much just hit a pass every now and then not everybody can do that he’s still a nfl Qb for a reason he’s just not better than alot of other QBs or their backups 😂
It's the team. The colts destroy talented players. They always have. Since I been watching football. Indianapolis NEVER had a dual threat big black dude as a QB. They're trading him. The owner is STILL looking for Peyton Manning
He got benched because of the tap out, the team wanted to send the message you can’t do that. He’s still the guy though. Most Colts fans still think he’s the guy…. For the moment at least.
Nah he's cheeks. Can't even complete 50% of his passes.
@@str8nashtygaming466 yet the colts won't trade him
@FreshPrincex4 they should trade him while he's still got some value. Do like the 9ers did with Trey Lance.
If was about the tap out then why did they put him back in at all? He only sat out one play
@@SimpleManChannel That was the last straw. The Colts didn’t think he was taking his job seriously is the sense I get
AR is 5-5 as a starter and the only flaw is his short/intermediate passing game. He will figure it out and people calling him a bust already will act like they never said he was. Plus 99.9% of people calling AR a bust said Bryce Young was a can't miss prospect, ignore their stupidity
Nail on the head comment.
Dude exactly. He gets so unlucky some of these games with easy dropped passes, and following plays with turn overs
He tapped out of a game for being too tired….. as a QB!!!! Never seen that in my life before he showed his lack of leadership.
@@REDLightMinistries Yup, 22 year olds are gonna struggle with leading a locker room of grown men. He will improve
The solution is simple. Keep Richardson, keep Steichen, fire Ballard! This team has a real internal problem that starts with ownership but unfortunately you can’t fire Irsay. Irsay needs to get rid of Ballard and bring in somebody competent that’s not afraid to make moves.
What has Irsay done besides bench Matt Ryan and fire Frank Reich to meddle with football operations? Hes let Ballrd do whatever he wants for 8yrs..
AGREE!!!
@@vinnye5030 that’s the problem, he also let Grigson destroy Luck’s career
@ andrew luck ruined his career snowboarding in the offseason, grigson wasnt great but he was better than Ballard
Louis giving them the business
Colts should have gone back to Richardson on Sunday night, Flacco was atrocious.
Flacco should've stayed in Cleveland
Better O-Line and Better Defense
Nah. He was still tired.

Bro wasn’t ready when he was college. Thats y I think Seattle was the best place for him to go to learn behind Geno for 2 years then u put him in

When you draft someone like this a team should already know this and have a plan and part of that plan includes the growing pains

Why would Colts trade Richardson right now. All they have the Flacco.
They wont trade him because 31 teams have 0 interest in him.
Colts should have shipped him away and got something before teams see how bad he is.
Pretty sure Dolphins reached out.
Let him learn behind flacco.
I would trade him he is another JaMarcus Russell
AR will be fine,that just making a statement because of the tired fiasco..
Confidence comes from leaning on past success. Josh Allen was really good at Wyoming. When has AR been good?
Fire Ballard, and Steichen needs to call plays to ARs strength. Why is he calling plays like he is a pure pocket passer when that is something he needs to slowly develop into.

Anthony Richardson is debatably worse than JaMarcus Russell. It is not reasonable to believe that a QB that had a 53% completion % as a starter in college is going to succeed in the NFL.
Man Allen had Diggs we got Pittman
Lowest completion percentage ever no? Sat out because tired no? Cut the glaze
AR at TE
Bring Andrew luck back on the team to mentor Richardson kill 2 birds with one stone if he makes him half as good as he was it’s well worth it
Why are they acting like Richardson hasn’t been one of the worst qbs in the league?
they should take a 3rd rounder for him before he is worthless
ridiculous take.
Hater
Riddick shut up. It doesn't mean he's going to be like Josh Allen Richardson is going to be a bust
Right start him now
