I've been a Colts fan since I was 7. I'm now 33 years old and as a long time Colts fan I've been saying for two years now that Richardson is the answer. All I get called is "not a true colts fan" cause I'm honest and realistic
He quit on his team on a 3rd down. Took himself out of the game because he was tired. His main asset is his physical abilities. He quit because his strength isn't even that strong. By taking himself out of the game, he showed he has nothing to offer.
@@marmantole He wasn't strong enough to stay in the game on a crucial 3rd down. Strong is not even a top #3 trait for a QB. He'd make one hell of a running back though
He quit on our team because he was tired, i was infuriated when i herd that. I have been a huge ar supporter, but i think it's clear he isn't a nfl starter.
@terry7342 i have moved on from him. Just please consider thr other players on this team and coaching staff, they have their jobs on the line also. It's not fair to this team or fanbase to throw away a season for one guy.
As a Colt fan. Overall, the Indy fan base is used to great QB playing. AR is not a ready, don't know if he'd ever be. But you can tell that he cannot do the little things. As Qb, you star from the basics and move forward. He tries the spectacular plays and work on the basics
AR has always been physically gifted. He was always a man among boys athletically. He has always been able to rely on that athleticism to get by. He’s in the NFL now, the highest level of competition. He’s still special physically. However, over the years, he’s never really developed the tool set to become a great QB. I think that lack of tools and fundamentals are really starting to hurt him in terms of development. The FO should’ve suspected this. I think they chose to ignore it and now we have quite the mess on offense. PS This is one of the best Colts pods out there. Way too many hosts wearing rose colored glasses.
He is a bust. You cannot teach accuracy or staying healthy. He makes very poor decisions with the ball. Ballard needs to go. 8nyears and this is the product. A depleted defense and subpar defensive backfield and a bust for a QB. Ballard cannit draft. Period. He is too hit and miss tonbuild a great team. I miss Polian.
I think people are right to be pretty angry right now. AR lacks maturity. He doesn’t understand the moment he has or the chance. It’s too bad, but that’s the truth. I’d be looking for a new a qb. They’ve got Flacco and the 3rd stringer from TX. I’d ride with them for now. Sit AR and let him get his rest. He’s not progressing, and he makes the same mistakes over and over. Even if they continue to play him, sooner or later he’s going to get hurt because he doesn’t have good game sense. He’s not game smart. I agree he’s not the answer.
Total agreement here. Richardson lacks NFL level football IQ. It was all over this game. From not getting out of bounds, to huge sack losses, to his refusing to slide, to not knowing how/when to set up and spike the ball, clock management, inability to complete short to intermediate passes... He may be the nicest guy on the team... But we're paying him first round draft pick money - and he is pulling himself out of a game. Look across the field. CJ Stroud came into the NFL at the same time as AR. Is Stroud's game perfect? Far from it. But he just put up 2 W's against us.
This is trial by fire and development by fire. Franchise decision was based on physical talent and hopes in DEVELOPMENT which you/we all know. This is NOT a Peyton Manning situation. AR wont be close to franchise QB until he has at least as much snaps in live games as a 3yr starting QB in the SEC. THE COLTS KNEW THIS WHEN THEY SELECTED HIM. WE ALL THINK HE SHOULD PLAY AT A HIGHER LEVEL. IT AINT HAPPENING. GET OVER IT.
RAW is my word. AR is too raw and and needs a lot of reps,…and I do mean ALOT. Tanking a season or 2 just to give a young RAW talent reps, is not how you go about developing a winning franchise. Especially if he is injury prone. Joe Flacco gives us the best chance to try and fight for a wild card spot. Buffalo, jets, and broncos are huge games coming up that are big for us later on when vying for that wild card spot. Sit AR and let him learn Flacco. I’m pretty sure Irsay wants the “chance” to make the playoffs vs having a for sure losing season and also losing ticket holders.
I am looking at his first 30 or so pro games essentially as his college seasons: purely developmental. After he has had the equivalent of 2 full pro seasons, then his real pro season begins. I don’t understand why he was draft eligible so early, but I’m still hopeful that he can still develop into a franchise quarterback.
I wanna know (and again im not saying they played perfectly by any means but) how Steichen can look at this defense knowing they r doing the best they can and Steichen basicly saying basically no matter how good u do i just dont care about winning.
AR tapping out changed my entire opinion of him. I can't even imagine what his team mates thought about that. Dude lost a lot of respect today. Maybe unrecoverable.
He’s terrible too. Levi’s doesn’t even start anymore it be the same results. Being that Bryce young and CJ were already drafted. I going back I would’ve looked at Hendon Hooker.
I am with you 100% on AR not being the answer. The only thing is that if you keep playing him, you cement losing into the Colts culture. That isn't good for enticing free agents to come here. Not that I expect Ballard to sign any, but I think he will no longer be our problem at the end of this season. I think he is gone, and I'm rooting for Steichen to be gone as well. We really don't need or want Reich 2.0 but that is what we ended up with. And of course with that will come the end of Bradley. Let Flacco play and have some fun before the Great Reset. What do the Colts do for next year in terms of overall leadership? They need a cultural shakeup. Do you bring in someone like Cowher to be the coach and GM? We need someone to scare these guys straight. I'm tired of nice guys and mediocrity.

That's on recruiting taking him at 4 with hardly any experience just he's athletic didn't mean he's Lamar Jackson but here is to him figuring out,but doubt he can
A couple of weeks ago i probably would have said some stuff, but you are right, unless the Coach is going to design an special offensive for AR but that might affect other players on the team. But i've never seen someone checkout of the game because of tiredness, since high school football because we played both side of the ball in high school. That kinda put me up against the field with AR and i been one of his big supporters. The coach is always saying he wants AR to get game reps, this is the only solution i see right now. I'll still start AR and let him play the 1st quarter only, and Flacco will play the rest of the game. Let AR know if he want more mins show me that you can improve.
Good point on the fact that NFL teams are figuring him out--not hard to do. Subtext on how the Colts should play him: hide him until he learns how to lead a team. It won't happen. The Colts have too much talent not to be in the playoffs. A good backup can take this team well into January. There's no way they make the Super Bowl this season, so they should focus on winning, The pre-season is over.
To late now, but how can we say with Flacco we aint winning no SB. Neither the chuefs or SF playing that great but they get in ryrhyms and pull off wins. We get going on a roll with a qb and make progress anything can happen. Only need to score 1 point more than other team
All facts! But I think the reason we don’t see as many run plays call for him is because the jury’s out that he’s made of Glass the “fragile handle with care” sticker is on the back of his helmet
I think it's part of this development Steichen thinks he can do with reps. When you are trying to develop a guy you do that in practice. If all he does is run and throw 40 yd passes every game he won't develop. Developing a player with only reps looks like this.
I've been saying this all season, hoping I was wrong. But sadly, I may be right. Talent does not necessarily equal performance. Also, Payton had MANY games prior to the pros to show his capabilities; not so with AR.
The poblem now with AR is that he lost this team. All the drops shows this!! Zero improvement. Bench him and let think about if he wants to play. He showed that he quit. No more excuses
Yes, it was. Hes awful. Play calling is what it is. Players have to execute, and Richardson didn't. Even the passes that where dropped in the beginning of the game, where on Richardson. He was lobbing those balls, allowing the defenders to get there and break them up. 3 defenders had more pass breakups this game, than they had all season combined. He doesn't know how to play the position. He's just not good. He wasnt ready for the NFL when he was drafted. He should have stayed in college another year. Hes not getting any better either. In fact, he's gotten worse as the season moves along.
I still can’t understand why he was taken with the fourth pick from the beginning. Poor mechanics with little experience. They did like his personality though.😕😕. New general manager in our future?
I haven't watched the video and I'm in the comments, but I agree with the title. AR could become a good qb, but it ain't happening under Shane Stechein.
Cincinnati fan here just wanted to say I’m ready feeling for you guys right now without a solid QB it really holds back this team. I hope the coaches start Flacco or something.
I think you play him and if it works out it works out, but if not you get a high draft pick to draft one in 2025 or 2026. But he has to show some type of improvement by the end of this season.
This was my fear when we drafted him. We sat by and let the draft in 2023 be dictated to us instead of creating a draft. We had two options in that year. One go after the best QB from the draft or set up our defense for a few years as it was rated one of the best defensive draft in a long time especially CB. We waited and what’s worse is that we also allowed our division rival pick a head of us which it could bite us in the butt for years to come. A miss this big sets the franchise back at least five years and right now it feels like we will have to start over after the 2025 season as I’m sure they will make the excuse that this is truly his rookie year which gives him the 2025 season to figure things out before moving on from him.
Even if Indy decides to ditch AR, he will probably become a great backup somewhere. If that guy can just sit around another 5-6 years and learn, he will be a great backup at some point.
In his second Season it's not easy to go against a D like ours. Texans D very Legit . AR -15 needs the right QB coach mix up your O with QB runs designed and try to protect him . Look at what CJ Stroud is dealing with from our O-Line !
Texan fan here……it’s kinda hard to play against the Texan D line. Give him another year or two (he only played two games last year and got hurt earlier in this year also) all things considered he is still in his first year old Professional Football. He had only really played like 6 games. Give it time.
I'm still on it. Start em' what does that tell you about your staff if you dont stick with the kid. I'm sorry but you're all wrong and are too focused on chasing short term success. The truth is immediate success will result in the same net gain. Take your picks this year and keep trucking. You'll actually gain value by working through these tough times.
The passes that did make it to the receivers hands were not good passes alway seaming to allow the defender the ability to defend the pass. He currently has zero touch and I doubt if he will ever be able to throw the receivers open. THe colts give him this year and that is it. The bad thing is it then is a wasted year for so many players. Too much talent on offense to be playing around.
I personally think that Richardson has something going on with him physically that he doesn’t know about. rather it be a heart condition, or something. You don’t tap yourself out of a game cause you’re tired. I’ve never seen that. and I think he’s fooling Shane Steichen. Shane thinks Richardson can do the things that he wants him to do, but Richardson simply just cannot do it. he’s no Jalen hurts. Shane needs to wake up himself and say this guy just needs to sit the bench and watch. or his ass will be on the hot seat after two years.!!
The fact that he isnt in good enough condition to run around for 3 straight plays with a 40 second rest period between plays is absolutely pathetic. He needs to be a professional and get himself into proper condition. He should not rven be allowed to play if he isnt in good enough shape.
He has REGRESSED from last year, and is getting worse as the games go along. If he was telling the truth about being "tired" when he came out of the game for that snap, then he needs to be benched. That is unacceptable. If he wasnt being serious when he said it, then hes not a smart person. He doesn't know how to play the game. Hes relied on his physical gifts his entire life, and never bothered to learn how to play. Its obvious. Joe Flacco said as much. He told McAfee that AR doesnt even know what questions to ask. The only way Steichan can save this sinking ship, is to create a game plan, that allows him to figure out how to play, without giving him a lot of decisions to make on his own. I think youre correct about running him more, and limiting his throwing to checkdowns, screens, and the occasional deep ball. Hes awful, and getting worse as the season moves along. Its a shame, but its obvious hes a bust. Hopefully we can draft Manning, when ARs rookie contract is up.
Y’all forgetting his is just 22 years old he didn’t play that much football in college yeah he definitely having a bad season due to him coming off a shoulder Injury now if anything I think he should be benched an let Flacco take over for the rest of the season and ar need to go work on his craft
WE ARE MAKING TOO MUCH out of this one play that ROOKIE Richardson tapped out on ...however WIND SPRINTS SHOULD BE IN ORDER FOR HIM! CUT the guy some slack, Peyton Manning was horrible his first year set NFL record for interceptions give AR5 a BREAK!
Also AR didn't "quit on his team." In the 3rd quarter when he subbed out, he had just thrown a 300lb lineman off his back and ran back to the LOS to stay in FG range. I'm not surprised at all that he was tired after that. I would be too. I doubt anyone in these comments could throw a 300lb lineman off their back, but of course that doesn't stop then from being ignorant in their comments. They're just looking for reasons to hate.
Yeah, Richardson came out as a raw prospect. Which means that anyone who expected him to be great immediately is goofy. Manning also had 10-12 games in a row. Omg, he's not perfect yet get rid of him! Blah blah. You don't like the comparison to manning because manning was supposed to be great right away and Richardson was supposed to be a raw porosity who would take longer to develop. But you're holding him to a higher standard than manning. That's exactly backward.
It's all karma... Irsay gave up on Peyton and look at what happened with him (2 SB appearances, 1 Title), and every qb we've had since. Suck for Luck is still affecting us 13 years later!! Karma lingers!!!
Hes got great skills but makes horrible decisions. The fact he checked out because hes tired. Thats embarrassing asf for the team. Atleast come up with some bs excuse other than your tired WTF. I miss Luck watching AR play. If im the colts this is your sign to start planning on finding another QB. If AR does a 180 and starts to play great keep him. But as of now i just think hes a bust.
AR was not good BUT I also saw receivers dropping passes, falling on routes, and not getting their feet in bounds during possible TD passes. Stechein also was brought here to develop him. I have been underwhelmed thus far. Playing Flacco gives you at best a wild card loss. I don’t want to see that. Play AR through next season and if he doesn’t show major progression at that point you draft in 2026
@@gearyderochea-bh2oh An NFL WR needs to make those catches though. Some of them were just flat out dropped. Saw guys falling down on routes etc. Stechein also isn’t giving him much help either with the situations he is putting him in. They need to call more designed run plays and utilize more screen passes to get him in a rhythm. Look I’m not saying AR is the defintely the answer but Colts fans been screaming for Ballard to take a swing at the position and now want to end it after 7 games. Flacco is good enough to get get this team to a wild card playoff loss. This years QB class is trash. They pretty much need to see IF he can improve going into 2026 before they totally pull the plug
@@Brianmoore53exactly. These idiots are clueless. How many TD passes were dropped? I guess it Richardsons fault on that TD pass to Pierce that Pittman got the penalty. Lol
They have to use him in the run game. We can’t win throwing 35 times a game right now. If he gets injured then he gets injured, but he isn’t going to get a second contract if he doesn’t start picking it up soon. Everyone else on the team wants to win too and people get fired for losing.
This is crazy. Even you knew AR was going to take time to develop, yet you're turning your back on him this early?? I think people use the Peyton comparison just to show that the NFL is very hard for rookies. A better comparison would be Josh Allen. Whose passing numbers from his 1st 2 seasons are very similar to AR's. But whatever. Ballard, Irsay and Steichen wouldn't have taken him #4 overall if they weren't going to give him time to develop. Essentially, only 10 games in is not enough time. But you guys are welcome to leave for another fanbase. Just don't come back when AR becomes the stud Allen is.
Took what to far, the truth? Hes awful, and regressing, instead of developing. He's worse now, than he was last year. He's gotten worse every single game this year. He doesn't know how to play the game, let alone the position.
Spot on his development has not improved. He's an athletic disaster. Has the size the speed the arm strength but accuracy and decision making are terrible.
Your wrong on Manning draft profile he was not looked as a generational prospect, Ryan Leaf was thought to be better, it wasn’t until He told Bill Polian “ he was going to kick there arse every year that they changed their tune. Manning benefited from arguably the greatest streak of first round help ever, having Harrison ‘96, Glen ‘97, Manning ‘98, James ‘99, 2000 was a bust with Rob Morris, ‘01 Wayne, His family pedigree helped bolster Peyton
No, BOTH leaf and Peyton where considered generational. Leaf was considered the better physical specimen, and the argument was, that his physical gift would carry him further than Manning. The "kicking their arse" nonsense was just marketing. It was known that Manning was more intelligent, and had a better work ethic. That's why Polian picked Manning. He didn't want to deal with the headache of leafs personality. Leafs critics where very quickly proven correct. Manning was considered "in over his head", and "not ready for the NFL" his rookie year, but quieted everyone by mid season his sophomore year. You are flat out wrong. BOTH where touted as "generational", and it wasn't Mannings lineage that elevated him, it was his play.
Your right about Manning being considered generational my notes was wrong. I didn’t say he had success because of his lineage, it because he quite literally went to the perfect situation, the receiver he would team up with and become the greatest Qb/Wr duo was there, for his rookie season he had a HOF Rb in the backfield Marshall Faulk, then the next year they drafted another HOF RB in Edgerrin James, for 8 years he played with a HOF Rb, while in Indy, 4 years he played with 1 HOF Wr then from 2001-2011 he played with 2 HOF wrs that’s why he was successful
I think y’all don’t realize that drive he tapped out he legit was running for his life in the pocket and was throwing Dline man off his back 😂. Shit I’d be tired as well. Shane also was giving terrible play calling with continued deep passes instead of short passes etc
A leader would have overruled the coach on the next play and handed it off to one of the best rb's in the league. He tapped out mentally, pure and simple!!!
@@Axl_colts I’ve never seen a QB shrug off a 300lb lineman with ease then get back to the line. He for sure got winded but y’all ain’t trying to talk about that lol. Our offensive line has him getting pressured on more than half of his throws lol, that’s not gonna be successful for a young QB ever

A couple of weeks ago i probably would have said some stuff, but you are right, unless the Coach is going to design an special offensive for AR but that might affect other players on the team. But i've never seen someone checkout of the game because of tiredness, since high school football because we played both side of the ball in high school. That kinda put me up against the field with AR and i been one of his big supporters. The coach is always saying he wants AR to get game reps, this is the only solution i see right now. I'll still start AR and let him play the 1st quarter only, and Flacco will play the rest of the game. Let AR know if he want more mins show me that you can improve.
Great take ! He reminds me of Trey Lance !
Great video and take !!!
Richardson is awful back to square one at qb
Sorry he lost me by taking him self out done
He can't throw right now. They need to use him more in the run game with taylor, until that arm develops.
I hope the colts continue to lose every year at this point, this fanbase doesn’t deserve anything more than that
Yo what’s up with Richardson taking him self out with the game on line?!
Good point on the fact that NFL teams are figuring him out--not hard to do. Subtext on how the Colts should play him: hide him until he learns how to lead a team. It won't happen. The Colts have too much talent not to be in the playoffs. A good backup can take this team well into January. There's no way they make the Super Bowl this season, so they should focus on winning, The pre-season is over.
To late now, but how can we say with Flacco we aint winning no SB. Neither the chuefs or SF playing that great but they get in ryrhyms and pull off wins. We get going on a roll with a qb and make progress anything can happen. Only need to score 1 point more than other team
We’re not winning a SB period. We can’t even beat the Jags ffs
All facts! But I think the reason we don’t see as many run plays call for him is because the jury’s out that he’s made of Glass the “fragile handle with care” sticker is on the back of his helmet
I think it's part of this development Steichen thinks he can do with reps. When you are trying to develop a guy you do that in practice. If all he does is run and throw 40 yd passes every game he won't develop. Developing a player with only reps looks like this.
I've been saying this all season, hoping I was wrong. But sadly, I may be right. Talent does not necessarily equal performance. Also, Payton had MANY games prior to the pros to show his capabilities; not so with AR.
The poblem now with AR is that he lost this team. All the drops shows this!! Zero improvement. Bench him and let think about if he wants to play. He showed that he quit. No more excuses
Shane’s play calling is garbage. Taking a square peg and trying to put it in a round hole. This was not on AR
Yes, it was. Hes awful.
Play calling is what it is. Players have to execute, and Richardson didn't.
Even the passes that where dropped in the beginning of the game, where on Richardson. He was lobbing those balls, allowing the defenders to get there and break them up. 3 defenders had more pass breakups this game, than they had all season combined.
He doesn't know how to play the position.
He's just not good. He wasnt ready for the NFL when he was drafted. He should have stayed in college another year.
Hes not getting any better either. In fact, he's gotten worse as the season moves along.
@@carllennen3520you're an idiot that doesn't know anything about football
Exactly. The play calling was horrible
AR had raw PHYSICAL skills....... SO DID RYAN LEAF.
I still can’t understand why he was taken with the fourth pick from the beginning. Poor mechanics with little experience. They did like his personality though.😕😕. New general manager in our future?
I also blame ballard,we like our guys.
I haven't watched the video and I'm in the comments, but I agree with the title. AR could become a good qb, but it ain't happening under Shane Stechein.
See this is a good take. I agree with the game plan as well. Hopefully he develops like Lamar did in time
Cincinnati fan here just wanted to say I’m ready feeling for you guys right now without a solid QB it really holds back this team. I hope the coaches start Flacco or something.
I think you play him and if it works out it works out, but if not you get a high draft pick to draft one in 2025 or 2026. But he has to show some type of improvement by the end of this season.
Texans fan here, glad we can finally put this AR15 vs Cj delusion to sleep 😂
This was my fear when we drafted him. We sat by and let the draft in 2023 be dictated to us instead of creating a draft. We had two options in that year. One go after the best QB from the draft or set up our defense for a few years as it was rated one of the best defensive draft in a long time especially CB. We waited and what’s worse is that we also allowed our division rival pick a head of us which it could bite us in the butt for years to come. A miss this big sets the franchise back at least five years and right now it feels like we will have to start over after the 2025 season as I’m sure they will make the excuse that this is truly his rookie year which gives him the 2025 season to figure things out before moving on from him.
As a Texans fan he IS the answer.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Manning also was older and more experienced but just ignore that
Even if Indy decides to ditch AR, he will probably become a great backup somewhere. If that guy can just sit around another 5-6 years and learn, he will be a great backup at some point.
I dont think he will be. He just is kinda dumb.
@@springheeledjack165Dumb, and Gen Z entitled. Can’t handle any adversity.
In his second Season it's not easy to go against a D like ours. Texans D very Legit . AR -15 needs the right QB coach mix up your O with QB runs designed and try to protect him . Look at what CJ Stroud is dealing with from our O-Line !
Tank for Arch
HE STILL NEEDS full season to get acclimated.......Win or lose HE NEEDS TO EXPERIENCE A FULL SEASON else continue the patchwork QBs every year !
Payton never took his self out of a game like Richardson I'm done with him everyone is out of breath hurting He is not the guy
When you tap out and youre too tired to be a qb for a team, you just deserted the team. Thats a fireable offense.
If he fails, he takes down Ballard and Steichen probably.
Jason Bean time
Texan fan here……it’s kinda hard to play against the Texan D line. Give him another year or two (he only played two games last year and got hurt earlier in this year also) all things considered he is still in his first year old Professional Football. He had only really played like 6 games. Give it time.
You’re funny there’s a reason why he made of glass. “Fragile: handle with care”. I predict he will never play a full season.
Why you here?
@@springheeledjack165 I could be a jackass and say y’all lost, why r u here?
@@springheeledjack165😂😂😂😂😂😂🤡
When Kent down on AR that's bad news..
I'm still on it. Start em' what does that tell you about your staff if you dont stick with the kid. I'm sorry but you're all wrong and are too focused on chasing short term success. The truth is immediate success will result in the same net gain. Take your picks this year and keep trucking. You'll actually gain value by working through these tough times.
The Colts don’t want to win, if they did they would start the best offensive with Flaco.
The passes that did make it to the receivers hands were not good passes alway seaming to allow the defender the ability to defend the pass. He currently has zero touch and I doubt if he will ever be able to throw the receivers open. THe colts give him this year and that is it. The bad thing is it then is a wasted year for so many players. Too much talent on offense to be playing around.
So what's the excuses for the dropped passes then idiot
I think a lot of us are out. Once you pull yourself out for being "tired"??? Come on man, your never going to be great with that attitude
I personally think that Richardson has something going on with him physically that he doesn’t know about. rather it be a heart condition, or something. You don’t tap yourself out of a game cause you’re tired. I’ve never seen that. and I think he’s fooling Shane Steichen. Shane thinks Richardson can do the things that he wants him to do, but Richardson simply just cannot do it. he’s no Jalen hurts. Shane needs to wake up himself and say this guy just needs to sit the bench and watch. or his ass will be on the hot seat after two years.!!
You could see paint Manning had some good games and some bad games has rookie year. This guy doesn't have any accuracy.
GO IU
The fact that he isnt in good enough condition to run around for 3 straight plays with a 40 second rest period between plays is absolutely pathetic. He needs to be a professional and get himself into proper condition. He should not rven be allowed to play if he isnt in good enough shape.
He has REGRESSED from last year, and is getting worse as the games go along.
If he was telling the truth about being "tired" when he came out of the game for that snap, then he needs to be benched. That is unacceptable. If he wasnt being serious when he said it, then hes not a smart person.
He doesn't know how to play the game. Hes relied on his physical gifts his entire life, and never bothered to learn how to play. Its obvious.
Joe Flacco said as much. He told McAfee that AR doesnt even know what questions to ask.
The only way Steichan can save this sinking ship, is to create a game plan, that allows him to figure out how to play, without giving him a lot of decisions to make on his own. I think youre correct about running him more, and limiting his throwing to checkdowns, screens, and the occasional deep ball.
Hes awful, and getting worse as the season moves along.
Its a shame, but its obvious hes a bust. Hopefully we can draft Manning, when ARs rookie contract is up.
Y’all forgetting his is just 22 years old he didn’t play that much football in college yeah he definitely having a bad season due to him coming off a shoulder Injury now if anything I think he should be benched an let Flacco take over for the rest of the season and ar need to go work on his craft
WE ARE MAKING TOO MUCH out of this one play that ROOKIE Richardson tapped out on ...however WIND SPRINTS SHOULD BE IN ORDER FOR HIM! CUT the guy some slack, Peyton Manning was horrible his first year set NFL record for interceptions give AR5 a BREAK!
Also AR didn't "quit on his team." In the 3rd quarter when he subbed out, he had just thrown a 300lb lineman off his back and ran back to the LOS to stay in FG range. I'm not surprised at all that he was tired after that. I would be too.
I doubt anyone in these comments could throw a 300lb lineman off their back, but of course that doesn't stop then from being ignorant in their comments. They're just looking for reasons to hate.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Exactly. These idiots are clueless and never played a sport in their lives
I don't think AR picked up the playbook last year. He had an awesome combine.
Yeah, Richardson came out as a raw prospect. Which means that anyone who expected him to be great immediately is goofy. Manning also had 10-12 games in a row. Omg, he's not perfect yet get rid of him! Blah blah. You don't like the comparison to manning because manning was supposed to be great right away and Richardson was supposed to be a raw porosity who would take longer to develop. But you're holding him to a higher standard than manning. That's exactly backward.
I agree not the answer.
It's all karma... Irsay gave up on Peyton and look at what happened with him (2 SB appearances, 1 Title), and every qb we've had since. Suck for Luck is still affecting us 13 years later!! Karma lingers!!!
Peyton didn't do anything in any super bowl. The defense won for him
@biggame2175 We know that's true! However, my point is karma works itself out... Irsay was on the wrong side of it!!
@@forbudt4u2 the karma of true would be leaving Baltimore in the middle of the night
Hes got great skills but makes horrible decisions. The fact he checked out because hes tired. Thats embarrassing asf for the team. Atleast come up with some bs excuse other than your tired WTF. I miss Luck watching AR play. If im the colts this is your sign to start planning on finding another QB. If AR does a 180 and starts to play great keep him. But as of now i just think hes a bust.
AR was not good BUT I also saw receivers dropping passes, falling on routes, and not getting their feet in bounds during possible TD passes. Stechein also was brought here to develop him. I have been underwhelmed thus far. Playing Flacco gives you at best a wild card loss. I don’t want to see that. Play AR through next season and if he doesn’t show major progression at that point you draft in 2026
AR doesn't have a touch on the ball, his passes are hard to catch because of where it is placed
@@gearyderochea-bh2oh An NFL WR needs to make those catches though. Some of them were just flat out dropped. Saw guys falling down on routes etc. Stechein also isn’t giving him much help either with the situations he is putting him in. They need to call more designed run plays and utilize more screen passes to get him in a rhythm. Look I’m not saying AR is the defintely the answer but Colts fans been screaming for Ballard to take a swing at the position and now want to end it after 7 games. Flacco is good enough to get get this team to a wild card playoff loss. This years QB class is trash. They pretty much need to see IF he can improve going into 2026 before they totally pull the plug
@@Brianmoore53exactly. These idiots are clueless. How many TD passes were dropped? I guess it Richardsons fault on that TD pass to Pierce that Pittman got the penalty. Lol
They have to use him in the run game. We can’t win throwing 35 times a game right now. If he gets injured then he gets injured, but he isn’t going to get a second contract if he doesn’t start picking it up soon. Everyone else on the team wants to win too and people get fired for losing.
NFL-Not For Long
Time to move on
I doubt you’ll have any nay sayers.
This is crazy. Even you knew AR was going to take time to develop, yet you're turning your back on him this early??
I think people use the Peyton comparison just to show that the NFL is very hard for rookies. A better comparison would be Josh Allen. Whose passing numbers from his 1st 2 seasons are very similar to AR's.
But whatever. Ballard, Irsay and Steichen wouldn't have taken him #4 overall if they weren't going to give him time to develop. Essentially, only 10 games in is not enough time. But you guys are welcome to leave for another fanbase. Just don't come back when AR becomes the stud Allen is.
Unsubscribed. Sorry, you took it too far.
Took what to far, the truth?
Hes awful, and regressing, instead of developing. He's worse now, than he was last year. He's gotten worse every single game this year.
He doesn't know how to play the game, let alone the position.
@@carllennen3520 No. The play calling was atrocious. You can't make up for that no matter how good you are.
@@AnthonyGiallourakisexactly. These idiots are clueless and don't know football. The play calling was beyond terrible
@@carllennen3520it's not the same play calling from last year dummy. Get a clue
@@biggame2175 I agree. I have way more faith in AR than I do the head coach. He needs to get his 💩 together. Oh, and he dresses like a 🤡. I hate that.
Spot on his development has not improved. He's an athletic disaster. Has the size the speed the arm strength but accuracy and decision making are terrible.
whats up we are looking for a colts fan or two to come on our show this wednesday night to talk about our game next sunday. any interest?
I’ll join I’m a Colts fan
@@GFL2000 a knowledgable one? lol
@@LetsSkol I know the team if that’s what you mean lol
Your wrong on Manning draft profile he was not looked as a generational prospect, Ryan Leaf was thought to be better, it wasn’t until He told Bill Polian “ he was going to kick there arse every year that they changed their tune. Manning benefited from arguably the greatest streak of first round help ever, having Harrison ‘96, Glen ‘97, Manning ‘98, James ‘99, 2000 was a bust with Rob Morris, ‘01 Wayne, His family pedigree helped bolster Peyton
No, BOTH leaf and Peyton where considered generational.
Leaf was considered the better physical specimen, and the argument was, that his physical gift would carry him further than Manning.
The "kicking their arse" nonsense was just marketing. It was known that Manning was more intelligent, and had a better work ethic. That's why Polian picked Manning. He didn't want to deal with the headache of leafs personality.
Leafs critics where very quickly proven correct.
Manning was considered "in over his head", and "not ready for the NFL" his rookie year, but quieted everyone by mid season his sophomore year.
You are flat out wrong. BOTH where touted as "generational", and it wasn't Mannings lineage that elevated him, it was his play.
Your right about Manning being considered generational my notes was wrong. I didn’t say he had success because of his lineage, it because he quite literally went to the perfect situation, the receiver he would team up with and become the greatest Qb/Wr duo was there, for his rookie season he had a HOF Rb in the backfield Marshall Faulk, then the next year they drafted another HOF RB in Edgerrin James, for 8 years he played with a HOF Rb, while in Indy, 4 years he played with 1 HOF Wr then from 2001-2011 he played with 2 HOF wrs that’s why he was successful
I think y’all don’t realize that drive he tapped out he legit was running for his life in the pocket and was throwing Dline man off his back 😂. Shit I’d be tired as well. Shane also was giving terrible play calling with continued deep passes instead of short passes etc
Dude, I’ve never seen a quarterback tap out because he’s tired.
A leader would have overruled the coach on the next play and handed it off to one of the best rb's in the league. He tapped out mentally, pure and simple!!!
@@forbudt4u2 you don’t know football lol, over ruling his coach can be worse for the team and for him in general with trust. He’s trusting his coach.
@@Axl_colts I’ve never seen a QB shrug off a 300lb lineman with ease then get back to the line. He for sure got winded but y’all ain’t trying to talk about that lol. Our offensive line has him getting pressured on more than half of his throws lol, that’s not gonna be successful for a young QB ever
