[@cheyenne3882]

I think this is an unintended side effect of less contact during practice

[@CJ739]

The problem with those teams, is that when they Drafted Rodgers, Love, Mahomes is that they already had a competent QB. The franchise was not in shambles when the next QB was drafted, so the necessity of success on the rookie contract is not there. The rookie contract for QB's is the biggest window teams have to compete because you can stack the deck with a top flight QB and surround him with talent with all the money you're saving, and its why you notice all these QB's regress as soon as they get paid because they lose the wealth of talent that was surrounding them. For a bad team that isn't contending, they can't afford to waste the QB rookie contract window, because as soon as the QB gets paid, the window is instantly closed. No team has won giving their QB a massive contract except for Kansas City, and Mahomes takes a pay cut.

IF the catalyst to all this ends up being a high level of self awareness on Richardson's part to pull himself and vocalize that he feels he needs to progress differently. Whether tapping out or not was the right move, MAYBE he just didn't know how to do it any other way than to "make a big deal" so people would take him seriously when he says he's not ready HIMSELF to be on the field.

It's hard to let him develop when he's not playing? Uhh, we have tons of history where young qbs sit and watch behind a veteran qb until he's ready to get on the field. The problem is the owners and their garbage win now philosophy. Sometimes, you have to suck and let the young guys develop slowly instead of just throwing them into the wolves. Not everyone is going to be Stroud.

Didn’t Anthony Richardson say that the NFL is easier than college football??? His stats sure doesn’t seem to back up his statement…

[@jnova707]

According to Dan no QB is ever the problem

[@jgrigg404495]

Heck yeah it was the right call. Give him some time to build up that cardio.

[@dwharton8983]

44 percent completion percentage he's last by 15 points that dude Andrew Hawkins is effing blind he went 10 for 32 it was a winnable game come on man he needs to grow up and people need to stop coddling these QBs he made the decision to come out early

[@anthonychurch726]

I hate when teams throw short screen passes all the time but the Colts never do that with Richardson which it seems could help him get some rhythm and timing and help his completion percentage as well.

[@chrisrogers4052]

That’s the point….dude can’t hit Lake Michigan

[@klohr311]

Sounds like there is longer line on Richardson than Bryce young..lol..

[@roshan2865]

Yeah because if he improves slightly, he can be a force with his traits. If Bryce slightly improves, he’s still at best a bottom 10QB

[@midwestindy-15]

I am a Colts fan and AR will be a bust like RG3. Worst completion percentage.

[@trentlomelino]

Flacco gives them a better chance to win and the taking the play off didnt help.

[@JossT001]

The film better than box score? There was a point (before 4th qtr) where Richardson was like 2 of 20 in completions 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@Pete-zq3dc]

There records still better than half the teams in the league. This is called an overreaction. Let the guy develop and learn. A simple attitude adjustment. Stop giving up on him, he's got great talent.

[@TheFerchodurango]

BRUH ! Joe Flacco is a Superbowl winning QB!!! Why we even discussing this like boohoo he got sit down. This guy was a victim of a notnfit scheme and Lamar being a freak of nature. Joe Flacco is a phenomenal QB that just needs a chance to ball before he goes out into the sunset. Homie just want to play

[@flmdladm_4559]

Sorry Danno. It’s not nuanced at all. He tapped out because he was tired. Bench him. And honestly the way Dan and Hawk were going on about his “incredible” throws was just laughable.

[@JimmySweat-k1z]

They played him too early and who better from him to learn under then joe flacco Do you remember all the flak he got when he first entered the league There is nothing wrong with hitting the reset button until you get the oc and the supporting cast up to par Why is the qb in washington having success The offensive coordinator Let him get acclimated Look at the time period it took Dallas to develop Dak They do need to give him some help with a running game Flacco has seen every defence they can throw at you Anthony is still learning at nfl speed Great move

Washingon's QB started 55 games in college, won the Heisman Trophy. and set the single season passing record at LSU.
