I imagine the key to Richardson succeeding is to not just blindly trust his athleticism. He's going to realize very quickly all the guys in the NFL are the country's top athletes. Learning the discipline and good decision making will be huge for him. While I'm not a Colts fan, I do hope he succeeds because the NFL is just better with kickass talents playing the game. Plus, the Colts fans have been through some things the past few years...

[@choosecarefully408]

Someone looked into it & found that all the TEs we know as Great Receivers only became so at age 25 (with Kyle Pitts being a _huge_ outlier). I looked for when men become able to stay calm in the pocket as opposed to freaking out like Zach Wilson. It's about age 23 with 22.5 being the earliest I've found. Not good news for the top-3 with the High Expectations. My favorite example is Peyton Manning. While his rookie year stank, about game 10 his stats improve & mostly stay improved even though nothing on the team or field changed. His ability to shunt aside the Fight or Flight instinct long enough to not throw INTs in a panic kicked in & he stopped throwing INTs just because he couldn't stop himself.

[@Tristanluvgod]

I think this was the right choice I understand wanting to sit him but his main problem is experience

[@Thisguy2532]

Yep so might as well start him. I watched him cause I’m a gator fan and when he was good damn he was playing good huge runs, beautiful deep balls, but when he was playing bad, he was playing like who are you looking at? But still the kid probably has more potential than anyone else

[@ShamBTW]

Minshew is leaps and bounds better and will give you more of a chance to win, but it’s the colts, they probably don’t want to win. At least they have almost a 3 % chance of making the playoffs

[@NDependentColts]

Missed a dropped dime ball to Pierce for a go-ahead TD and his run to the 1-yd line that got called back for hold. I was a huge AR-hater after watching him at Florida, but he looked even better than this video alluded to.

[@AaronJMitch03]

Richardson has been putting in an insane amount of work to prepare himself. His only problems right now are his mechanics and his decision making, although he looked great with his decision making after his interception on the first drive. As a Colts fan I'm SUPER excited to watch him this year

[@RonnyHurdles]

Finally a colts fan who doesn’t point out the interception as a reason to hate him 😂

[@Austin.Kilgore]

@@RonnyHurdlesWdym? I feel like most Colts fans I’ve seen were pretty satisfied with his performance… most people o see holding the int. against him aren’t Colts fans, they’re people who only watched the highlights of the game. (Tbh tons have been Jags, Titans and Texan fans lol)

[@kennethzimmermann7351]

Looks like his decision making was good in the first practice against the Bears...16 for 20, no INTs

[@daz8352]

I dont see why anyone gives a fuck about the INT. It's the fact he doesn't get past his first progression.

[@1SEChawk]

I’ve watched about 15 of Richardsons games with Florida, he is not a good passer. At least he wasn’t. I think it was a mistake to take him at 4, it would have been a mistake to take him in the top 25.

[@connorrobinson3471]

This was a fair, great review of the team! Nice post!

[@ferrynpalmer3875]

How can you go over every throw from the preseason game EXCEPT Alec Pierce's other drop.....the perfectly placed long ball that was dropped in the end zone? 🤨

[@racim86]

[@Ozai75]

Couple of big mistakes. AP was a second round pick. Look at the QBs that Pittman has had throwing to him before you judge him not a WR 1. AR's best throw in the preseason game was a deep corner for a TD that AP dropped. The interception was more on MacKenzie not coming out of his break quickly because of the blitz (He was the blitz beater in that package and he ran the normal route) AR still should of ate the pass, or tossed it way out of bounds, so he's not wholly off the hook. It was less about him being dead on accuracy and more about his poise. A lot of rookies kind of fall apart in their first game after their first pick (like Stroud did) and AR lead two 70+ yard drives in his next two offensive periods.

[@Austin.Kilgore]

[@Jonathan-dj3yb]

AR is the future of the team, best QB in this years draft by a handful, and Gardner Menshew is nothing but a backup that you don't even want on the roster so there's no point in starting him. Tre Lance sat and watch and look at how much "experience" he got from that, the dude is trash. Let AR get those reps in it's not like anyone on earth was expecting the colts to win the Superbowl this year, the Chicago bears have a better chance than them this year. Just let the boy get playing time. Trade J Taylor for 2 2nd round picks & 2-3 3rd round picks, get a new rookie RB and some other rookie players via draft, and let everyone develop together. Then the colts will be a serious team

[@HurshRoad]

I don’t think sitting does anything to make you good or bad. Mahomes would still be momhomes. You either have it or you don’t. Pierce was a 2nd rounder. Mark my words pierce will have more yards then Pittman as his strong suit matched up with Richardson strong suit.

[@ronnyatdrik4700]

Frank ruined himself with the colts period he picked every single quarterback they had besides Andrew Luck. And Andrew luck retired after one season under frank. no frank got fired from the cokts cuz of Frank's bad play calling. and Matt Ryan was the last straw. don't think for a month frank didn't advocate for Matt Ryan, that was his last chance after advocating for Carson!!! lol Panther about to find out too lol

[@justCarner]

That second throw you said he missed was a fucking dot if we’re being real, that was a perfect throw. He had three receivers drop the ball, one for a TD. If they brought those in, his debut looks a lot better with 10/12 1 TD, 1 INT.

[@amcrmd]

assuming by your hat that you’re a boston/new england fan, i have to tell you as a colts fan that i really appreciate you looking at his film with an unbiased lens. i understand AR has problems, but i’m glad that a fan with such a storied rivalry with indianapolis can recognize his potential, especially after all the flack that he’s gotten (some warranted, for sure). AR will be fine, and i appreciate your take on the subject. he’s got limitless potential.

[@amcrmd]

@@kelseykjarsgaard5774 that doesn’t change my comment in any way

[@joseymunoz4176]

I'm a colts fan but I have to say this was a terrible pick. At Florida I never once saw him make a throw that said that's an NFL throw or he's an NFL QB, his speed or arm strength are good tools but they don't win you games at the end. What wins you games as a QB is knowing how to read a defense and throwing men open like manning, Brady, Montana, or even Carson palmer and Phillip rivers. But time will tell who will be right on him

[@luke9648]

He's insanely inaccurate and made terrible decisions on a regular basis in college. As a Colts fan, i'm crushed we took him 4th. His tape says he's a 2nd rd project. Tom Brady and Joe Burrow have a combined vertical jump of 7 inches, but they complete 70% of their passes all day every day. But for some reason we've overlooked the most important traits a QB can have, and fell in love with his combine performance. RECORD JUMPS!!! YAY!

[@joseymunoz4176]

@luke9648 your exactly 💯 % right. He's inaccurate, and he seemed lost on the field in college,so I can only imagine how bad it's going to be in the NFL

[@DarkSlumber]

he's really only about talent. everywhere else he seems to not really be good at anything

[@Austin.Kilgore]

And he had a good run in red zone where he dived for pile on but was out at 2 or 1 yard line but the play got called back

[@LordVEGA8822]

Look as a Colts fan, I love this kid. No he's not Peyton, but I believe he can be a faster version of Bert Jones. I'm hype for this kid

[@altg5708]

Bert Jones was better than Manning. He just got hurt too many times. IMHO Jones>Luck>Unitas>Manning

[@LordVEGA8822]

@altg5708 you won't get any argument from me brother. A lot of the younger generation don't even know who he was or how damn good he was, but us diehards will hold Bert in the highest of regards

[@LordVEGA8822]

[@jordankennerknecht4929]

As a Colts fan I don’t expect Richardson to impact immediately like what Mahomes did. I’ll have to wait and see over time. Also one of the reason why I think that Frank got fired is because the lack of not using the TEs more often. There are games where a specific TE played fantastic but instead of keeping the momentum going the TE that had at least a solid game will disappear for a couple weeks but then here they are again showing up again like 3 or 4 games later. For the WR room I’m really curious to see how Josh Downs and Mike Strachan can do. I hope that we (colts fans) see Strachan on the main roster he has solid height at 6’5 but his 1st year he was out for the year then the year after that he didn’t make the roster. He has talent, specially for the red zone that I hope he will be used for. For the TE room I really hope that our new coach keeps feeding our TEs, specially Jelani Woods. I truly think he can be a matchup nightmare.

Mahomes sat a entire year and went to a team that was already stacked with talent and a head coach who had been coaching for a while.

[@drayiii980]

There’s no way he “won the QB competition” with how well Minshew is playing and how mediocre AR was in his only preseason game, this is purely a move to give him experience. Which I think is a mistake since there’s 17 games, plenty of time at any point to put him in if Minshew struggles. But Minshew is clearly the better passer right now and better option if the Colts actually were serious about putting their team in the best position to win. I think the Colts signaled they’re more than willing to make this a lost season purely to give AR experience, even though there was plenty of time to give him that later in the season……

[@williamcoslosky]

[@SagansWar]

I have been a Colts fan since I was 5. I was so irritated when the Colts drafted him because I think he will be a complete bust. In the 40+ years I have watched NFL football, I have NEVER seen a QB who started 13 games in college, losing record, inaccurate, running QB succeed in the NFL. No, Josh Allen played two years. I think what is sickening is the hype machine on him. He will go 6-17 and the media will say "Richardson Shows Elite Skills". When Andrew Luck was a rookie, if he put up those numbers, they would have criticed him more. Wishing someone would be good and talking positively about them doesn't make them good. I think he will have his share of highlight reel runs and a pass here or there, but overall will be overwhelmed and turn over the ball much. I think Minshew is a much better QB. And for anyone who says Richardson can the big play potential, Minshew actually has a higher yardage per pass than Richardson. I just don't get it. Bust.

[@furiogiunta7886]

Yeah, the tape reveals that he is actually a pretty bad QB. Sure every now and then he'll break a long run or throw a long TD pass, but he struggled with the most basic of pass concepts and reads at the college level, not to mention the inaccurate are in the short and intermediate ranges. I don't see him becoming a successful NFL QB unless he is given 2 or 3 years on the bench to develop.
