Flacco should have started the second half Sunday, that game was within reach. Now we are 3 games back. AR needs experience but not at the expense of losing.
Exactly. If you were just going to bench him, why not run him more verse the Texans? If he gets hurt he gets hurt, that’s why we had Flacco, not so we can bench him after throwing Hail Marys all game.
@@rickjannings7689 who referenced last year? Anyways I watched the game buddy. You go look. There was little to no designed run plays versus the Texans.. in the 1st half especially.
@ hey buddy….I dont give a fuck what you referenced…..I dont care about your opinion buddy. The coach did what I SAID THEY SHOULD DO….I am right you are wrong…now cry me a fucking river clown boy. Fuck you and AR…is that more clear for you “buddy” if not you can come visit me…..I will kick your ass for you. You dig?
Myopic. Maybe it’s his tone, but I’m not sure an inexperienced head coach can truly make the assertions or “predict the future” as he does here. So much for playing to get better. Goodson catches that dime, or Mitchell drags his foot or a terrible PI call that deleted Pierce’s TD and this doom and gloom presser isn’t the focus.
Shane outright said he can't "predict the future". But we've seen this same noncommitment leading to mediocrity for the last decade, so everyone else knows where this is heading. It's just so shortsighted and pointless.
If they're indeed giving up on AR, then some other people need to be following him out the door as well. He didnt hand himself the keys to the franchise.
No one handed him anything…..in the NFL you get handed a SHOT….IRSAY owns the franchise….Ar never will. No player will…he was given teh keys to take a shot at driving Irsays car..thats it….and he crashed the car
@rickjannings7689 my point is that he's not the only one to blame for this failure. The people making these decisions to gamble a top 5 pick on a project with little to no foundation should be hailed accountable as well.
I keep telling people, just because the Colts say AR is project that they are long term committed to, never meant he would start no matter what. Stechein has an obligation to that lockerroom to win. Guys dont have years to wait for a qb to develop. Like Pat Macafee said, you tell me what seasons we should not be trying to win.
Right call for now. I think AR is a good kid. The team still has a chance to get in the playoffs, so before that slips away, you go with Flacco. If we are out of contention late in season, then we play AR. I would not be surprised if Shane brings in AR for select plays in future games if AR if not mentally devastated by the demotion. Maybe not this week. But in a week or two, there are some times a RPO is a good option. Right now, we need a Pass Run Option (PRO) offense. And if teams are going to blitz us because AR is not ready to make quick reads on passing routes, this is the best move for the team and him. I am not totally done with AR, though flag is up over the "tired" comment.
You should have let him sit on a bench when he was a rookie and watch other quarterbacks do what they have to do he wasn't mentally prepared to do quarterback work in the NFL in college yea NOT NFL READY
Just as a frustrated Colts fan in general, Ballard’s time in Indy is past due, fire his mediocre, smug, stubborn ass at the end of the season along with Bradley.
The media guys did a great job in asking sooo many excellent questions. Shane Steichen clearly underperformed in response, He basically repeated his same 3 answers to nearly every question posed. The session began with great promise, as it appeared as though Shane was prepared to deliver meaningful depth, insight, and clarity to the pool of reporters. But in typical Shane Steichen fashion, he did not deliver as such. As time went by and the solid questions kept coming, Steichen simply stalled-out the room...
This is only a good move if they are done with Richardson. I know it is Optimism Wednesday. It does no good to have AR sit. It seems like they are done with AR.
Seems to be too little too late, we lost the division against Houston this past Sunday. So not sure hindering Richardsons development further, is the right answer
I wish the media would get rid of putting these coaches on the podium to be questioned about players, because you’re not gonna get a straight up answer from them, so why bother having them coaches on the podium speaking I don’t understand it!! Have a good day, Kent!
Shane made the correct call here. Anthony needs a great amount of fundamental work so that all of his potential can be used properly in winning football. Tough call to have to make but a clearly necessary one. Anthony's maturation as an NFL quarterback can be met and achieved through some serious development work on fundamentals behind the scenes. Professional means professional, it's no longer about just having fun. It's business, and there is no privilege, only merit. Ok great let's move forward and get a win up in Minnesota with some maximum effort football. C A
People change their minds….thinsg in life are fluid….they NEVER once said they would let AR develop for two years and never go to a back up…EVER not once.
Can ANYONE come up with an example of a non rookie QB getting benched mid season, that went onto work out for the player AND the team? If you can find one I’ll shut up.
@@ultramagahoosierhermit2767 yes he is obviously a dumb fuck….Ar needed accountability and he got it….Amen….rap videos, necks tattoos…not looking at his tablet during th egame..not picking Flaccos brain ……not asking people why he sucks so bad…..all that………..cant complete 6 yard passes…yah….he got benched….AMEN.
@ they aren’t throwing anyone under the bus….he failed..period….the pay calls suck because the kid cant do shit. Period….cant complete easy passes candy run out of bounds…..cant read thru progressions, etc….the kid completes 54% at college.. 44% in the pros and you all want to blame it on everyone else…..when even in. T he video he tells you that HE just needs to get better……period….you moron. The kid sucks period. There are great players on the colts team….and they didnt lose their jobs….neither did he. He got benched. For someone better……and Steichen was the pay caller for JOE also when he had success and we scored 12 ppg more than AR does….as well as Joe himself compl;eyed more passes…a higher pct….less turnovers…..
This change should have either been made before and last weeks game or not at all. Making it when the division is likely out of our hands is a terrible call considering Joe is 39 and Richardson is the fourth overall pick at 22 years old.
It was the right move. I have been a big defender of Richardson, but you can't ask your players to put it all on the line every week and not give them the best chance to succeed.
I still think the play calling this year has been better than what we saw in the Reich era however I do feel that there hasn’t been as much creativity compared to what we saw in year one. Players seemed more open and had much better separation schematically. Hell Minshew ended up in the pro bowl last year with Shane’s play calling. I also wonder how much of Shane’s relationship with Flacco weighed into this decision as well, I’d be hard pressed to believe it was 0% of a factor in the decision
@@IowaRealtordon’t bother… I’ve tried explaining exactly that to people last year after the 4ᵀᴴ & 1 call but more often than hit it was a waste of time, they already made up their mind on how to feel about it and that’s that.
Im so confused right now… while AR’s playing I’m mostly seeing people say he needs benched but now I’m seeing everyone act like this was the worst decision ever and they could’ve never seen this coming. Feels like people just love to complain.
AR was never the future and if you thought that you are delusional. Not saying Joe is but you gotta remember there are 52 other players on this team that want to win now. And Joe gives them the best chance to win, best case scenario AR can learn behind joe
Amen. Except he ain’t gonna learn shit. Notice he is never picking Joe’s brain on the sideline or even looking at the tablet. He don’t care. He will be out of the league by the end of his contract
@@jarydfye3909exactly….hewas just happy to be drafted to get his family out of poverty…God love him but he isnt a pro dedicated to his craft……hes just blessed that God gave him enough natural ability to get drafted and make a few bucks…..honestly….jhe isnt a professional truly….
He used the word professional, and.professionialism repeatedly. I interpret that as work ethic, attention to detail, and maturity. I would argue that he was a better QB last year. And it would seem AR maybe took that starting position for granted. The way he answered the question about how AR took the demotion, led me to believe it wasnt great. Which also fits thatblack of professionalism/maturity. I hope he ises this and learns from it sooner rather than later. Id hate to see him put it all together for another team
What is pathetic is his play…..he has TO EARN his spot….you dont get anything GIVEN TO YOU….what kind of fucking pathetic take is that? He isnt the QB 1. Just liek Kamala isnt a president…..she was GIVEN the nomination……..you need to earn that shit.
yea lets put a 40 year old in who will be gone next season to MAYBE get us to the first round of playoffs at best. SMH bradley and steichen both know AR needs development. He played like 7 games this year, missed half last year, 13 in his college career. Yea lets give up on him now....smh
Shane has been terrible this season ... he tried to make Richardson a pocket passer when he should've been running a system like Baltimore did for Lamar early in his career... I'm not sold on Shane on being a head coach... look what they're doing for Daniels in Washington... smfh
We are not a Flacco away from winning anything meaningful. Why after the Texans game? Why even start him day 1? All the colts have said is he needs reps. Complete 180 from the organization and coach
He does need reps….but he also needs to sit…..he is high maintenance…LOL…he needs ALOT…..and we are here to win first deal with all your baby dramas rap video neck tattoo tapping out 44% compe pct ass issues
Fire all these people right now this is craziest thing I ever seen. You draft a guy and you say be patient then give up 10 games in that says you can’t be trusted to draft or develop the next guy so they all need to be fired immediately
They should trade AR at the end of the season. He should have a chance to be trained by coaches who actually know how to train.Shane failed this young man, and through him under the bus, and might have destroyed his career. This is a head caoch failure.
Hmm, that's funny. I always hear that a mediocrity was the worst thing possible. Rivers 2.0 here we go. At least Ballard won't be blamed for this one, Steichen said it was his decision. Hah, who am i kidding. Of course Ballard will be blamed.
sounds like a man protecting his job. this season was never about winning. the play calling dictated it so!! Shane has failed just as much maybe even more than AR.
He needs reps and he needs to sit. Kid is high maintenance……….and any person that has never been a prio at anything doesnt understand just because you are drafted doesnt mean you are GIVEN anything….doesnt mean you EARNED anything…you earned a SHOT….no one owes you an explanation or a job…..or support….you earn it day in day out.
I heard threw the grape vine Anthony Richardson showed signs of being high on marijuana before the game an during. No wonder he don't care about anything on the field
They all hide it but Anthony Richardson smokes weed and showed up high trying to play. What ever it is he aint living right an it shows everything happens for a reason
Absolutely man because it really starts from the top irsay is not a good owner. There's no accountability. Ballard is been dropped the ball. He should have already gotten rid of Gus. Shane is a coordinator, not a head coach. He's not being held accountable either
@ bruh Ballard should have been gone 3 years ago. Nobody in their right mind would have taken AR with the #4 pick. Ballard loves the smell of his own farts and that’s a fact. Sure he’s good at picking semi productive 7th rounders. Wowwwww
This stinks of Irsay. This decision is counter to everything Steichen and Ballard has said. You draft a project qb and you give up on him 8 games in, for a guy with a 9 win ceiling. This is a dysfunctional franchise on par with the Jets and Browns.
Bro shut the fuck up he never said nothing about giving up on him everything Shane just said is true he didn't say nothing wrong I just don't understand yall like y'all talk shit about the kid like he's playing terrible and then when they make a decision like this y'all think somebody is giving up on Anthony Richards y'all need to shut the fuck with this this is the right move Joe Flacco gives a better chance of winning we can't do nothing or go nowhere with Anthony Richardson and that completion rate that low like that plus some of y'all don't know shit about football and don't understand the meaning of being a leader n the face of the team nobody that's supposed to be the face of the team ask for no break there is no break this is a billion-dollar million dollars incorporation business this is your job we are dependent on Richardson as the leader to lead us to success and when it's all about winning bro you sound stupid as fuck this is the right move in the only move
@Sowed_ And then on top of that he's not improving he's not getting better the team play better when Flacco in the game he never said anything about giving up on him he said right now and it's all about right now we sitting at that 500 and have a chance to go to the playoffs and win a division f*** all that he need to play to learn know Joe Jordan Love didn't play right away Lamar Jackson didn't play right away Tom Brady didn't play right now everybody can't be a CJ Stroud a Jayden Daniels a Pat Mahomes the way you making it seem like this man is giving up on him know he's not giving up on him they want to win and Joe Flacco is that guy to win
Steichen is getting dumber by the day and benching Richardson was a stupid decision. All we get with Flacco is a worse draft pick. Oh, FYI, Richardson threw FOUR BRILLIANT touchdowns. Not his fault Mitchell is too stupid to plant his feet inbounds, that a tight end can't catch an easy td and that Pittman draws bullshit PI calls. Now let's count the stupidly dropped midfield plays. Even with the pick Richardson stupidly threw, we would have SMASHED the Texans if EVERYBODY ELSE NOT NAMED RICHARDSON DID THEIR EFFIN JOBS!
Should have pulled him after that horrible first half.That dam game was too important to just sit back do nothing.
Yup. I stopped watching once I realized they weren’t gonna make a change. Not gonna watch a team that ain’t trying to win.

This is hard to root for.
They have one of the worst defenses in the NFL year in and year out and Steichen has confidence in Gus. What gives?
Defense played their asses off. They have played good enough to win this season. Every game has been decided by one possession
You don't actually watch the games, do you?
We had a chance to win that last game and he blew it.With his terrible play calling.
Yeah behind all this I’m more mad at Shane for the plays he was calling than for ARs poor execution of it
Looking at our roster? You have one of the worst defenses in the NFL and Gus is fine and you have faith in him.

8:58 How can the head coach not speak for the locker room? what a joke
Will Colts trade AR?
Should have started Joe to begin with.
ExactlyARF was not better and did not earn this job in pre season…
So sad ballards made this decision
You can't tap out as a QB and finish 10-32
Should have never drafted Richardson.
I heard threw the grape vine Anthony Richardson showed signs of being high on marijuana before the game an during. No wonder he don't care about anything on the field
They all hide it but Anthony Richardson smokes weed and showed up high trying to play. What ever it is he aint living right an it shows everything happens for a reason
Shane looks kinda jumpy
Fire Ballard, Steichen, and Irsay should sell the team.
I just wish he had a son to hand down the team to.
Absolutely man because it really starts from the top irsay is not a good owner. There's no accountability. Ballard is been dropped the ball. He should have already gotten rid of Gus. Shane is a coordinator, not a head coach. He's not being held accountable either
@ bruh Ballard should have been gone 3 years ago. Nobody in their right mind would have taken AR with the #4 pick. Ballard loves the smell of his own farts and that’s a fact. Sure he’s good at picking semi productive 7th rounders. Wowwwww
Go buy a Chiefs jersey.
@@carrite wow what a comeback. How long it take you to come up with that genius zinger
This stinks of Irsay. This decision is counter to everything Steichen and Ballard has said. You draft a project qb and you give up on him 8 games in, for a guy with a 9 win ceiling. This is a dysfunctional franchise on par with the Jets and Browns.
Bro shut the fuck up he never said nothing about giving up on him everything Shane just said is true he didn't say nothing wrong I just don't understand yall like y'all talk shit about the kid like he's playing terrible and then when they make a decision like this y'all think somebody is giving up on Anthony Richards y'all need to shut the fuck with this this is the right move Joe Flacco gives a better chance of winning we can't do nothing or go nowhere with Anthony Richardson and that completion rate that low like that plus some of y'all don't know shit about football and don't understand the meaning of being a leader n the face of the team nobody that's supposed to be the face of the team ask for no break there is no break this is a billion-dollar million dollars incorporation business this is your job we are dependent on Richardson as the leader to lead us to success and when it's all about winning bro you sound stupid as fuck this is the right move in the only move
@Sowed_ And then on top of that he's not improving he's not getting better the team play better when Flacco in the game he never said anything about giving up on him he said right now and it's all about right now we sitting at that 500 and have a chance to go to the playoffs and win a division f*** all that he need to play to learn know Joe Jordan Love didn't play right away Lamar Jackson didn't play right away Tom Brady didn't play right now everybody can't be a CJ Stroud a Jayden Daniels a Pat Mahomes the way you making it seem like this man is giving up on him know he's not giving up on him they want to win and Joe Flacco is that guy to win
@ryontajames4108 Again, Steichen lied. How many games did AR start in college compared to those guys? I'll wait
honestly hope the colts lose every game for the rest of this season
I do too but not cuz they benched AR….because I want Ballard and Bradley Fired.
one week too late
I support Steichen 100% and I hope AR becomes the player we hoped he would be. Go Colts!
The rest of you haters should be ashamed of yourselves.
He is not a good coach .Just like AR , he was throw in his coaching roll too soon.
Colts fans are terrible, they deserve this. Fire your hc and someone else will pick him up no problem
What a joke
This is all on Ballard. What a mess the last 5 years has been. Where are the impact players?
Draft cam Ward from Miami hurricanes and let him n AR play for the starter job next year
We wont pick low enough.
Told you all Flacco gave us a better chance to win…including YOU Kent.
He hasn't won anything yet. But we can all read QB stats, you weren't exactly going Hot Take with that.
Steichen is getting dumber by the day and benching Richardson was a stupid decision.
All we get with Flacco is a worse draft pick.
Oh, FYI, Richardson threw FOUR BRILLIANT touchdowns. Not his fault Mitchell is too stupid to plant his feet inbounds, that a tight end can't catch an easy td and that Pittman draws bullshit PI calls.
Now let's count the stupidly dropped midfield plays.
Even with the pick Richardson stupidly threw, we would have SMASHED the Texans if EVERYBODY ELSE NOT NAMED RICHARDSON DID THEIR EFFIN JOBS!
Lmao he’s a clown 🤡 we going 7-9 lol and we not making the playoffs 😂😂😂😂win what goofy lmao smh 🤦🏽♂️ dummmmmmmmmmb
If your comment wasnt laced with stupidity I would say more. But your comment says it all. You are a dope. Zero IQ individual
worry about your damn self was anyone talking to you
Overhyped, overrated, enamored by size and speed but not the actual ability to be a nfl caliber quarterback.
Dumbass
I know who you are
@@Ryan78900 13 college starts. Is only big and fast. Let him sit a year or two and maybe he could be a c tier qb. Stfu Ryan. Delusional colts fan
