For Pat, a quarterback getting a potentially career threatening injury was one of the most important days of his life; for the Colts, it was Wednesday.

[@Voysh2Voysh69]

Try being a Bears fan watching Fields go down. At least Colts fans have recent memories of a GOAT like Peyton Manning… the Bears are truly cursed. Never once had a franchise quarterback. Never once had a 4,000 yard passer or a QB throw 30 TDs in a season. We **almost** had one in Fields and he goes down with an injury and will likely be traded away.

[@kevinhellardjr9508]

@@Voysh2Voysh69 Dude, that is the dumbest comment. You could’ve possibly made Colts fans lost out on Peyton bringing more championships to Endy due to injury. Then we turned around and drafted Andrew luck only to get him played three or 44 years may be a couple more than that at most, just to retire very early due to injury, and now, this! And you have the audacity to say imagine being a Bears fan watching Justin Fields? You should’ve said, imagine being a Bears fan and never in your history having a decent quarterback.

Florida fans knew for a long time that this kid's body was fragile. There's a reason we didn't draw up more run plays for him. He dealt with a major hamstring injury for a very long time that they didn't want released. He'd always limp after any minor contact. The Colts should've done their homework before drafting this kid.

I love how Minshew was carving up teams to start the season, and after one bad game, everybody loses complete faith in him

[@elephant615]

It’s like when he was on the jaguars. Was putting up mvp type numbers. Then had a game with 2 INTs and played with a broken thumb on his throwing hand. And when he recovered they continued to bench him to rank for Trevor. Whoever has faith in minshew will find a franchise qb and the face of the nfl

[@frankiestein78912]

I totally agree he is underrated and deserves to start somewhere, but let’s not get carried away lol

[@crzycolchris]

Well... I started losing faith when her got blindsided not 1 not 2 but 3 times by a totally NON blindside blitz against the ravens. Then we had to set a freaking record for 50+ yard field goals to escape with a victory in Baltimore. That means our offense sucks lol 😂

[@MM-cs2rt]

He effing sucks. Let it go.

[@ViolentMLG]

@@elephant615 Minshew is not a franchise QB, franchise QB's don't have games like he does. His arm talent is severely lacking and his mobility is mute. He's probably the best backup in the NFL, but for starters, he's certainly bottom 20.

[@ricosuave7905]

Colts need to remove the qb run and the option from the playbook. Richardson should only be allowed to run if he has the open space when a pass play is breaking down.

[@TheHolySC]

Does everyone forget that Philip Rivers had a pretty good season and they were super close to beating the #2 seeded Buffalo Bills?

It was a horrible choice to begin with. Richardson - ten years prior- would have been a sixth round project. The MASSIVE hype for mediocre college quarterbacks is coming back to bite the NFL. Good.

[@12thMandalorian]

This seems like a completely recoverable injury, but he has GOT to do a better job taking care of himself in the future, or it won’t be a long career.

[@dashmow9809]

Pat’s description of Richardson’s play style sounds a lot like his description of Wentz’s play style

[@SinclairSound]

If you watch them both live they are incredibly different.. Richardson looked like he was running real plays, Wentz looked like he never watched a football game half the time.

[@Jmoneythadon]

You must be slow

[@Fektthis]

Wentz was in the MVP conversation. Helped get his team to a Super Bowl. Richardson has played what? 2 games? Sat out one between them with a concussion? Was out for the season after that? Didn't even win those games? Richardson hasn't done squat. Hell, Wentz did more as a Colt and that was a horrible season. Still he was better than the guy before him and the guy after him. He was a convenient excuse for ownership and coaching staff to blame on how horrible you all really are. Your O line stinks. It has for DECADES. You're going nowhere any time soon. It's not a curse. It's incompetence.

The coaches really did not manage this situation well with playcalling. The first few weeks had proven he was fragile so the last thing they should have done is call a designed QB run play especially when you have Moss and JT in the backfield

[@chrisparson4542]

This is what happens to a running qb. Anyone who has watched the NFL for a long time knew this was going to happen soon er or later. It will happen again next year. That was a reason he was drafted to run the ball. He isn't very accurate when he passes it. He is the next rg3. They will ride him out for a couple more miserable seasons and draft a other qb. Hopefully one that is a passed instead of a runner.

[@Nobody-xe9fc]

As a Colts fan, all I needed to see was that Week 4 game against the Rams. Yes, they did lose that game, but that's not the point, and also not his fault. That alone told me everything I needed to see and hear. Anthony Richardson will be a solid QB for this Colts organization. He will do amazing things, and this gamble will pay dividends. BUT let's face fantasy with facts. The Colts entered Week 1 with many people saying they had a "outside chance" to make it into the playoffs. I myself was fully expecting a year of learning with this young and fresh team. I was fully expecting a guy from Gatorland with only ten or so games of experience to fall flat in the bigs, but AR impressed me with his football IQ, his ability to lead his team, and his ability to be a dual threat on the field. Sure, he may appear injury prone, but look at WHY he was getting injured and not how. He was trying to play to his strengths. He was trying to be the best version of himself for his team. It's how the Colts got back against the Rams and tied the game. Had the Rams not scored or they hit a FG, I think AR would have won that game for his team. I wholeheartedly believe in him, and every Colts fan should, too.
