@Natey11 Yes, but if you saw the games, he got hurt many times within the games, missing several plays to sometimes entire quarters. He always gets dinged up.

[@TheKindredblades]

As a Colts fan, I'm keeping my expectations really low until he can prove he can stay healty. Nothing else matters.

[@vorhees2093]

Then you should know, his injuries last season, were awkward. Chances of him getting hit they way he did, are less likely. He still needs to play smarter and not let up at the goal line, like he did in game 1 versus Houston. I get the optimism.

[@DarkoProductions]

I speak for all Colts fans, we a pumped for this season, no doubt.

You don’t speak for me. I’m a colts fan. He won’t last. The entire team is amazing. He will have one maybe two good years that’s it. Can’t play when he removes himself from games through dumb decisions or “oops I bumped my helmet on the ground coach and celebrated yet I’m hurt coach.” Shitting play dude. Play. Peyton had his head ripped off luck had his guts ripped in half …. They played. They had love for the game and their team. A-Rich loves himself.

[@najeegoinup8973]

@@ShadowsToDust88 Well keep that same energy when he puts Indy on his back and proves all the haters wrong. F*ck man we have some of the worst unsupportive fans ever. He’s OUR quarterback whether we like it or not. & he’s a KID. Let the kid grow and mature. The whole point is to NOT lead him to the same career as Andrew. Nobody wants him to have the same career as Andrew, Respectfully. Thats why precautions are being taken this time around.

[@meganpersinger7194]

He actually did really good in the small sample size last year. He has the arm to push it downfield, something we haven't had since Luck​@James-jh8pk

[@davidbrown8235]

I love Steichen. He is being honest and he's fired up about it. That should tell you everything you need to know about what he thinks of AR. That's the most emotional I've seen him. It's going to be a fun season for Colts fans.

[@casualwater698]

I'm a Lions fan who has lived in Indy for the last 13 years and this is the most interested I've ever been in a Colts season. Should be a fun year of football!

I’m a Colts fan, and I’m excited. I don’t have a crystal ball, but I don’t think the national media are giving him enough attention. As far as Richardson staying healthy, we will see. I’ve watched all of the snaps, and I think people make to big of an issue out of the injuries still. He took blame for the concussion against the Texans. He thought he was home free, and he ended up getting decked going into the end zone (for a TD). The season ending shoulder injury I was personally present for. It was just a fluke play. I bet they can run that play 100 times, and he doesn’t get an injury that bad. He just landed wrong. He wasn’t doing anything reckless. Alas, he was 21 years and now 22 (I think) so he will learn when it’s worth it to make a play and when to be a little wiser as a runner. I think people just see the result of the plays without actually considering “was he playing reckless?” I hope I’m right, because the kid has a rocket for an arm.

[@mikeymendez7060]

Yeah you're wrong. Richardson will be hurt

[@TroIIingThemSoftly]

Tua figured out how to avoid injuries. Hope Richardson figures out the same just so we can have another amazing player to watch.

I told you! The guy is a MVP. 1/1. There isn't anyone like Anthony Richardson, no one.😉

[@JettyBootChamp]

I'm a Colts fan and I am fired up... I'm also going to be on the edge of my seat, biting my nails, in a cold sweat the first time AR runs the ball.

[@SoulKingKurosaki]

Colts got the right pieces... I do think they can be a problem if AR stays healthy. I know that would make Pat McAfee's day

[@craiglortie8483]

having flacco as the back up is an improvement, i think everyone will be surprised.

[@fritzruffin8054]

Hopefully we don't have to see him play much .​@@craiglortie8483

[@la7era1u54]

It's like nobody watched this guy in college. Great highlights, but the other 95% of his play was horrible. Flacco is a much better option

@@la7era1u54 he played great last year when he was healthy? what are you going on about

[@pluginpanda]

@@jjpitts21he was healthy for about 5% of the season lol

[@JangaLangaBanga]

Apparently Anthony Richardson was the best QB in terms of fantasy points per dropback last year. And that's from a small sample size, true, but also from a sample size of his FIRST FOUR NFL GAMES EVER.

[@pluginpanda]

Plenty of quarterbacks have been great fantasy Qbs and never won anything. Fantasy points are not a metric that should be used for quarterback success lol

[@ByGriPhone]

Crazy how Bryce Young, when everyone thought he was gonna get destroyed because of his size played the full season. While AR, who was considered a physical super human got injured for the season only a few games in.

[@rjonesy3480]

It was Ironic. But makes sense. They had a whole plan to protect Bryce, AR welcomed the contact.

[@coryn.7009]

Yet AR accounted for only 4 fewer touchdowns in only 4 games than Bryce Young had for the entire season (minus 1 game).

[@mikeymendez7060]

Young actually played football before, Richardson is a street baller. I guarantee he will be injured sooner than later

[@ejay30]

I super pumped about the season. If Richardson doesn't stay healthy this season he will go down as a 250lb powder puff. But, I think he will stay healthy this year.

After week six, AD Mitchell is going to come on like HulkBuster on NFL teams. He's gonna be a ROY Candidate

@@jameshanley3947 agreed. Latu is really gonna have to pop off from jump though, he's got a little tougher road behind all the vets. Outside of Pitt, we really need that bonafide #2 qusai 1-b, Downs will be really good, Pierce reminds me a lot of Pierre Garcon. Makes the spectacular, impossible catch, yet, gets crossed on basic routes and drops the easy one.

[@comp_44]

All I hear are negative fans that can't get over the fact he got injured. He'll be fine this season and is gonna make a huge impact

[@marvinhunt8276]

If Richardson goes down and hopefully he shines but if that happens, I don't think Flacco will get through half a season.

[@2bprodigy]

Best test will be how he responds to a few hits.

[@loganconnmusic7314]

I think people should also remember that once Edge stepped in to mediate (not the agent), JT got paid. So was it the asking price or the agent people openly bash?

Health will be the only thing that will hold him back. Colts have so much talent on offense, along with a great offensive minded HC.

[@mt_baldwin]

He's played a total of 16 games since high school, we're not talking about what he can do because nobody has seen what he can do because he hasn't done anything.

[@mikeymendez7060]

The guy still has not reached the stats of 1 college year of Stroud in his entire college and NFl career combined. Richardson is the most overhyped and will be a bigger bust than JaMarcus Russell

[@jackripper5270]

I think ar15 is gonna be a bust!? He is good for "fantasy" with the rushing but ... The second he has a lower body injury... All that is out the window. And he will stay injured with that kind of playing style.... Ppl acting like he is better than Levis .. that's crazy 😂 Levis showed way more last yr...

[@TheVendeada101]

People were clamoring that he should sit a yr because he hadn't played enough ball and needs to be mentored. Well he sat for the year to really soak up the pro game. I think he will be ready and Colts will be problem for every team they play. The secondary is another issue though 😅.

Super talented player but him getting hit like that his career will be like Cam Newton if he is lucky.

[@drinkmorecareless]

I’m so fuckin’ sick of the “if he can stay healthy” nonsense. How many starting QBs go down every single year? How many do you assume are just going to be perpetually injured? STFU with that phrase.

[@josharnoldy6833]

It’s because he runs head first into linebackers and got hurt three times in four weeks until he had a season ending shoulder injury. There’s reason to be cautious.

[@pluginpanda]

He’s played 16 games total since high school. 16. That’s why lol

[@col68p]

In college he was on of the biggest guys, meeting Roquan Smith is different matter entirely

[@drp37]

Why does everyone equate athletic ability with potential.

[@kingkracker1998]

3 pointers wont get Steph killed though. Steph is a 3 point shooter and is paid to be. AR is a QB and paid to do so. NOT a RB.

[@bradm4493]

Still waiting for the player with huge potential if they can stay injured

[@alexshirley6096]

[@crustycritters6148]

He’s an even worse version of Lamar Jackson lol hopefully JT can carry the team this season….

[@junehanzawa5165]

Unfortunately, he's more than likely going to be a bust. Saw him quite a bit in college, and he always got hurt. Many times, within the same game, missing a few plays and others where he missed several games. For such a big guy, he's very, very fragile. And his accuracy is very poor.
