Richardson always had good pocket awareness going into the draft. That is a super underrated quality of NFL QBs. If Steichen and the Colts coaching staff can get him to be more consistent with his reads and throws, he could be special.
Because of his attitude and his humbleness that's why he got picked over will levit ... The biggest understatement I ever heard because of this athleticism because of his physical built because of his world-class speed because of his Cannon Arm.. need I say anymore
I'm rooting for Anthony Richardson. I LOVE a person that has great talent, but I REALLY love a person that is a gym rat. (First In/Last Out) type of guy. I feel that AR is a FILO guy.
And that is not a good sign to draft a QB cause of his character, cause if Levis turns into a solid QB with his so called cockiness, and Richardson doesn’t; we’ll I’m sure the colts will kick themselves in the ass. If the guy is cocky but can play, I’ll take that all day. This is football, not a nice person contest.
I think the colts will run a similar system to a year two Lamar when he won his mvp so a lot of run first but when he throws it’s gonna be short distance just to ease him into the nfl
Lamar is actually a way better passer than he gets credit for. If AR can be even half the passer Lamar was in his mvp year, the colts could be an above .500 team
Colts fans are probably the most patient in the league. Whether it’s week 1 or not, Colts fans will be on his side. He has atleast until year 3 before the his seat gets hot.
@@carrite Indeed it did. It seemed like the team was heading off a cliff with no type of direction out of the QB carousel. Honestly, the Colts got extremely lucky having Richardson not only declare for the draft but to actually land him. Even if he isn’t great from the jump, Colts fans will be excited and hopeful for what he can potentially become.
This is a tough one. I’ve watch football from the time a QB on the side lines for a couple years was the norm. I know it’s a new game and some of these QBs coming out of top College teams are ready. Is Anthony Richardson ready? I doubt it but hopefully if they start him, he will show the confidence they put in him was correct.
@@Jay-pd9kc I bet you will. It will be cool for the Colts to give their fans some excitement. I agree with Matt that Richardson has great potential. We had several exciting QBs come out in the last few years, Mahomes, Herbert, Prescott, Hurts, Jackson, Burrow, Allen, Tua, Murray?, and Lawrence. I think Ridder, Young, Stroud and Richardson could be on the list pretty dang quick. The Jones boys, I don’t know. Thought to put the Giants Daniel Jones on my list but I hemmed and hawed to much and NE Mac Jones, time will tell. Gonna be a fun season.

"Slot guy" in my opinion no longer means a 2nd tier receiver. It is simply where you are most often positioned at the line of scrimmage. The most explosive guy in an offense can line up in the slot
Seahawks have Metcalf, who is a straight line, huge burner; and Lockett, who is an undersized, route-running outside receiver. The opening on the team is in the slot position and that's where JSN will be this year. After Lockett hangs them up, all bets are off.
I was worried as soon as he went to the colts they’d be excited to have a shiny new QB for the first time in a long time and rush him out ready or not so I hope the colts aren’t just seeing something they want to see and hurting him in the long run
I think they are pushing him ahead of schedule yes but personally I think they’re comfortable with that because Steichen has experience with young QBs and taking their game to the next level. It could be lightning in a bottle with this dude
Peyton Manning started right out of the box and he SUCKED in year one. He had a 56.7% completion percentage and threw 28 picks in his 16 starts... The Colts finished 3-13 - in the cellar of the five team AFC East. That worked out okay. The optimistic fans think the Colts will be about a .500 team. The pessimists like me are calling two wins. They'll probably finish somewhere in the middle of those two extremes.
@@carrite His love for the game, his drive and all the time in the film room made Manning great and he expected the same from those around him which also elevated them. Richardson isn't Peyton, he will be Richardson and any Colts fan can have hope that this is an exciting new era for Indianapolis.
There is no benefit in the "sit and learn" approach to new QBs. Throw them into the fire. If they lose confidence due to sucking early then they don't have the mental makeup to be successful anyways.
No, if you watched his tape, you saw that he wasn’t as “raw” as people were trying to push. He had good pocket presence and pocket mobility, like genuinely good. You also saw that he showed he can read defenses and go through his progressions. He was not a one read QB. He also called protections at Florida. Not to mention he’s a good person who’s willing to be coached. The absolute biggest issue with him is his accuracy and it’s not about his release, it’s about his footwork. It needs a lot of work and it’ll take 2-3 years for him to be a league average passer in terms of completion percentage and general accuracy. But he understands how to play the QB position. People saw the insane physical tools and his sub par stats in college and just assumed he was super raw but he wasn’t. I’m not saying he’s going to be good out of the gate, but I think he’s not going to be as lost as people think he is when he’s starting week 1.
It’s one thing to have a good week of practice, but can he do it the whole year under live fire in the NFL, he couldnt at florida, but COACHING mite make all the difference
I think he's ready to start in an rpo offense which is what they will run I think. Maybe work on some passing fundamentals to make accuracy as good as it can be.
The colts did manage to win 9 games with Carson Wentz, I think them winning games will have more to do with there O line playing like they did the year prior and JT playing like he did that same year, because if not it doesn’t really matter if Richardson will be good at that point
I have been a Colts fan longer then anyone in Indiana. Because I was a Colts fan from Baltimore. Since 1967, I worshipped and got to see Johnny U. Play. After 50 - 55 yrs of watching the colts at memorial Stadium in Baltimore, they’ve never drafted one black QB. We’ve had 4 Superbiwl trips. We won 2 and lost 2. I never thought I’d see the day when the Colts put there faith into a running and passing threat!! Way to go Irsay. U r way slow!!
As a Colts fan from the Pacific Northwest with dual Seahawks citizenship, I'm quite good with both of your focus players. AR5 is a lottery ticket. Maybe it pays off, maybe it does not, but the Colts HAD to pick a QB at 4, so to the lottery ticket machine they did go. Colts will be bad this year, maybe turning it around next year. But Peyton sucked as a rookie and we Colts fans will gladly give him a one year mulligan. He will play week 1, I think. Seahawks, on the other hand, are close to contending in the weak NFC. They're currently the 4 seed by my count (Eagles, Niners, Cowboys) - and they're coming for the Niners this year. They just completed a second consecutive A+ draft and they're STACKED outside of DT. Hawks have arguably the best WR trio in the NFL now with Metcalf/Lockett/JSN.
The NFL is basically a crapshoot at QB. So why not take a QB with immense potential over a guy like Levis for example who compares more to a Carson Wentz.
Can we atleast wait to see him in even a preseason game first? I mean, we talking about practice!! Not a game, not a game, we talking about practice man!
As a colts fan i hope he will succeed in this league. i am very happy with our new quart back. I do not watch college football that often but when i found we were on him in the begun of year i knew right away he was our guy. I was shocked myself when i read he is on fast track; i couldnt believe in my own eyes he is week one ready; i thought at lease week 4 he be the starter. I appreciate the Anthony richardson content. Should be interesting to see how this all play out during camp and preseason. I am just excited that we have a franchise quartback; now. It has been a long time since colts nation has been this exciting.
He's gonna prove them ALL wrong!! I can't wait until he breaks out and makes all these other teams defences be scared to death to play the Colts.. Imagine him playing well WITH Jonathan Taylor on the field at the same time... That's scary.
I think with the colts line and a healthy Jonathon Taylor they can afford to start this experiment early. He will likely have a very simplified package of plays and a read one and sprint to the sticks mentality. His athleticism will allow him to buy time to learn and grow at reading complex nfl coverages.
Anthony Richardson has a natural talent for running and throwing. However, if they try and change and improve him too much. Oftentimes the over coaching can hurt a Qb. If they overdevelop his talent. That could take him out of his comfort zone. By trying to influence him mentally, it could reduce his natural abilities!!
What makes this even more impressive is the colts got a pretty good defense , and for a guy who’s supposed to be hella raw and inexperienced playing pretty good against them is a really good thing. Even tho we did lose Gilmore and our secondary is kinda our weak point on defense , but against our wr’s it shouldn’t be that big of a loss during practice
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere-in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts of the Apostles 1:8 NLT)
I don't think he will lose his confidence he didn't lose it in college...I think he's ready and so what if he makes mistakes this is the NFL not college football he's a rookie but the line gotta protect this man periodt...if they protect him the sky is the limit
Hey Matt, What do you say at the end of your videos? My husband and I can't figure it out. We know you're a huge Bama fan, but we don't understand Bama speak. We aren't Bama fans, but we love your channel.
Napier only had Richardson for 1 year. First year starting in college, new coach, new system, hard to blame anyone at Florida for not winning with him right away (although I do think they didn’t run him enough, but even that was likely good for Richardsons long term career, trying to protect the guy). If anything, if Richardson does well in year 1 in the NFL, you could credit Napier for having him so well prepared for the draft/NFL in 1 year.
the AR hate was so crazy and unwarranted (it still is) with people calling him a guaranteed bust and the next jamarcus russell. i hate it and i hope he destroys all his doubters.
I always prefer when a rookie sits behind a vet fir a season or two. Like Aaron Rodgers etc. Dozen of examples. Thats why i like Bryce Young not starting. Id orefer hes sit behind a better QB. Hopefully AR can get it and go! Love seeing a rookie QB shine!
This may end up being the best QB class in years. I believe every one of the five big QBs are getting glowing reviews so far. They will all be starting within three years, and probably at least four of them will end up being franchise players. And Richardson looks to definitely be doing his part so far.
Every rookie qb gets glowing reviews this time of year. Time will tell, but given the historical norm, only 1 maybe 2 of the top 5 QBs will amount to anything.
His lowlights and highlights show all a pro coach should need to win. He played in the SEC. Meaning he played teams with better athletes than his team. NFL teams are judged by how many defenders they have that he played against. Not that he's seen NFL defenses, but he's taken hits from NFL talent. He knows that defenders can harm him. Some guys don't learn that and never catch on. Carson Wentz etc. Doesn't matter how big and strong you are the NFL will chop you down. Also why I think Bryce Young will be fine. Not because he can take punishment, but because he smart enough to avoid it. Richardson is hard to hit. He can take a few if he has to. The highlights show nice throws with replicable technique. The lowlights show mostly getting beat. He reminds me of Kurt Rambis. Kurt Rambis wasn't a dynamic amateur but what he did worked in the pros. What this kid does looks like it will work in the pros. What I see is that he is completely able to do everything he did in college because his skills fit.
I told everyone ESPECIALLY Raider fans that AR was going to be a future SuperStar QB but nobody wanted to listen... He isn't there yet obviously, but it's clear he's off to a good start. Will Levis who was rumored to be the colts number 1 interest prior to the draft hasn't looked very good at all. Lucky for colts fans that it appears the front office made a solid pick and decision grabbing him.
Every thing you hear about being good in practice should be taken with a grain of salt because its just practice where there is no pressure, you arent allowed to hit the quarterback and your not going up against a live defense that much. Im not saying he isnt good im just saying that being good in practice and being good in a game are two very different things
The main reason I sub to your channel is that your opinion isd yours and you don't try to please all. I like that I can disagree with you on certain takes cause it shows you're not just trying to appeal to everyone, even those who have the same takes as you on most topics. (Not saying I disagree with the AR takes just saying in general)
What we missing here He is used to losing So by him playing bad and loosing confidence of what He came from a losing back round But he has mentality as a winner So regardless it he do start bad with us being 0-0 He going be Ite He around some good talent and leaders on offense and defense So I think with his attitude and demeanor Plus with his wild athleticism He be great
Accuracy only knock lol that's pretty important for a QB. It's just practice he couldn't complete 50 percent of his passes in college but now all of a sudden ,no worries. Please we will see. Let's see how accurate he is after he gets hit a few times. I'm not buying the hype.
@@dantelabella9753 maybe...we will see, will he make some plays I'm sure. But I dont buy the hype till I see it. I see him as a Cam Newton, Kapernick type of player. Both made it to a superbowl. But short careers.
Peyton Manning had a record setting amount of interceptions his Rookie year. Im not saying he is Peyton Manning but let him play. I dont know when everyone got scared to start their rookies.
Every mobile quarterback should want to aspire to be Mike Vick from the Steelers-chargers game a few years back…still mobile but can sling the ball efficiently and reading the defense
I think we should get going with AR - 5 as soon as possible. i believe in him. How quickly it will result in success and wins I'll wait and see. Of course I want it to happen sooner than later. Either way I'm with Anthony. Go Colts!
I think that going by total amount of talent that shroud had behind him the weapons he had we can agree Ohio state had the way more talented team so if Anthony Richardson had the same weapons and just a little more vision he's really close to being on the same level my point I think Richardson will be the better league QB
the Anthony Richardson fans are always in the comments saying he has good pocket awareness, good at reading defenses, and has a great and accurate arm. To me at least one of those things can’t be true or he wouldn’t have completed 54% of his passes. If your completion percentage is that low, you are struggling with at least one of those things if not more.
Luck was a different situation that was the GMs fault for not getting him a better oline and Luck progressed super fast because Stanford at the time ran NFL style offense
@@richardcharles4126yeah luck did hold onto the ball for too long but that oline was not good bro I remember our center Samson satele garbinooooooooo , mewhort- pretty average he just got hit a lot I guess is my point he did make it worse by trying to do too much I remember that shot he took that split his spleen, brutal. He was tough as nails but to a fault
Can't be that shocked. He played 13 college games. Most athletic chosen QB in history does not mean he's going to shock the nation. I hope he proves me wrong because I love the colts but I'm not a fan of a pick like this.
Practice is PRACTICE. Minshew was traded by Jax because he made Trevor look bad in the OTAs. Look at Richardson’s throws in games. He needs to hold a clipboard to start. They have an established QB with experience in the system who has an edge to compete above most other QBs in this league. Minshews stats were better than Murrays in his rookie season yet the Cardinals push of a short & under performing QB in 2018 in the media got him the ROY award. Jax dumped the entire season leading up to the TL draft so they would get the first pick and literally hurt Minshews career by not playing him on purpose. If the Colts want to win, they have the QB who runs a Play Action offense from college and ran the same system every week in Eagles camp. Minshew should start and Richardson should hold a clipboard until at least 2024 unless they do have a losing record so bad that its viable to risk the health of an investment like that to start them against a strong conference defense. Russell Wilson is the best example. Drafted late, wasnt supposed to beat out the QB the Seachickens gave a nearly 50M contract to, and now nobody can even name the QB who was supposed to start before Russell took over. This is going to be an annoying media hype until you see Kapernick 2.0 get exposed by experienced defensive coordinators. Give Richardson time to develop if they want him to be the QB of the future. Remember the QB who came to the Redskins named Campbell. Yea and then Hoskins (RIP), too few of experience prior to being thrown into the fire. 17 Tds passing with 9 ints in his senior year at florida makes him raw. He can look like a superstar in practice, but from someone who played in college, saw qbs come and go who couldnt perform in games but were amazing in practice, a practice superstar qb is a practice qb. Assistant coaches are watching a QB throw routes in OTAs right now but the biggest mistake they will make with him is starting him week 1. If aaron rogers started week 1, his career wouldnt have been successful.
I'm more inclined to say Young isn't on Richardson's level. Young played for a stacked Alabama team. Stroud had a really good Ohio State team and Marvin Harrison Jr. What did Ricardson have? I am not impressed with Young. He is small and I'm not sure he is that good at making reads. He hangs on to the ball way too long and that will get him killed in the NFL. It is fine when you play for a beast of a team in college and you are facing college defenses. That won't fly in the NFL. Of the top 3 QBs picked, I think Young is the most likely one to flop.
Bryce young being small has dominated all competition at the highest level since he was a teen , won the hiesman in his first year actually starting at bama which has the most players in the NFL that have the most success . Any small problems he has will be fixed , there's obliviously a reason he went #1 being a undersized QB . Watch his highlights when he's under pressure and you'll change your mind lol .
And yeah as the Gators quarterback there was times he looked really good and there was times he looked bad because he was young he needed some extra time to develop and get better
Build his confidence if he’s really the damn MJ of football and can pull pure magic out his ass then let the confidence build he’s got a good enough head in his shoulder to not let confidence turn to cockiness
🤣🤣🤣 I watched this QB choke all year last year in the SEC. His best game is was literally the ONLY game he had zero expectations. The first game of the year vs Utah. This QB is a clown. Time will tell.
I’m confused bc you just made a segment about clips of Levi’s not meaning anything bc you haven’t seen the low lights and it’s rookie minicamp with no rush. And now getting all hype over what colts coaches saying and his pocket presence at rookie minicamp with once again no rush haha. Everybody has a pocket presence right now. And Colts organization been clueless since Andrew luck who they couldn’t protect. They also hyped up Carson wentz and Matt Ryan all off-season too. We all saw how that turned out…lets slow our roll a bit
Ok 1 film showed mayonnaise mans pocket awareness was garbage, and 2 lets just ignore rivers was ever there after luck and after he retired qb play went to garbage, yes eagles fleeced colts on a washed wentz and colts had poor choice bringing in burnt out noodle arm matt ryan, but who else was available jimmy g? 3. Let's not pretend like we didn't see luck just attempt to steamroll defenders instead of sliding , yes the blocking was bad but luck played hero ball on the ground
@@setalight7290 I never said Levi’s was going to be good either. Just saying don’t make sense he just ragged to not get hype over rookie minicamp for Levi’s bc that stuff don’t matter but doing exactly what he said not to do for Richardson…all I’m sayin. If that’s your standard than stand on that!! An never said anything about what other options colts had…don’t really care. My stance was on the reports that were coming from colts camp. All off-season I heard how richt and wentz back together were doing all these awesome things in camp. Also heard how Matt Ryan was such a leader in all off season and commanding the offense blah blah blah…all to be benched. Just sayin, reports that come from colts camp is more worthless than a skid mark. That’s 💯
Still can't blame Napier because the plays that were called, many was off target. Especially in key points of the game. So home much was it on Richardson's mental or Napier???
The guy really doesn't seem to be able to read defenses. I think his combine made him a bit overhyped. It's glorified practice. I'm still rooting for AR though. I think it would be best to let him sit behind a vet QB.
I wasn't wrong. You were wrong. I been loving ar-15 before the college season even began. Love the vids, keep up the great work.
I said the same thing around week 2
I been said he was the best in this class! Love it
Nobody is wrong because he hasn’t even played a game yet in the nfl.
He's going to be trash. He won't be a starter in 2 to 3 years.
Same, I’ve literally been saying he’s less raw than people think; the stats don’t tell the whole story 😂
Richardson always had good pocket awareness going into the draft. That is a super underrated quality of NFL QBs. If Steichen and the Colts coaching staff can get him to be more consistent with his reads and throws, he could be special.
As a Colts and Gators fan I’m ready for another year of the AR Rollercoaster Experience 😂.
It beats the bungee jump with the top end not tied down, which was 2022.
Finally another one! I’m in the same boat.
Because of his attitude and his humbleness that's why he got picked over will levit ... The biggest understatement I ever heard because of this athleticism because of his physical built because of his world-class speed because of his Cannon Arm.. need I say anymore
Levis threw 23 picks his last two years and looked worst than josh allen as a senior. Another sam darnold
I'm rooting for Anthony Richardson. I LOVE a person that has great talent, but I REALLY love a person that is a gym rat. (First In/Last Out) type of guy. I feel that AR is a FILO guy.
Have you seen any of his high school games
AR15 WILL BE A BEAST IN THE PROS
WE GOT OUR LAMAR
And that is not a good sign to draft a QB cause of his character, cause if Levis turns into a solid QB with his so called cockiness, and Richardson doesn’t; we’ll I’m sure the colts will kick themselves in the ass. If the guy is cocky but can play, I’ll take that all day. This is football, not a nice person contest.

He throws on of the best long balls I’ve seen
Doubtful. He isn’t a run first QB, and all his inaccuracies are short 1-10yd passes. He’s much more accurate past 10yds. That’s all he did at Florida.

Glad that AR-15 is progressing greatly. People talked about him like he was gonna be a bust. I hope he continues to prove all of y’all wrong.
AR5 according to the Julian system...
He hasn't even started to show anythibg.
Let’s wait at least 2 years before we start calling people wrong. Let’s give each other some grace guys.
I don’t usually watch your videos but I liked this one 🐊🐊🐊
The biggest steal in the draft
As a Colts fan from the Pacific Northwest with dual Seahawks citizenship, I'm quite good with both of your focus players.
AR5 is a lottery ticket. Maybe it pays off, maybe it does not, but the Colts HAD to pick a QB at 4, so to the lottery ticket machine they did go. Colts will be bad this year, maybe turning it around next year. But Peyton sucked as a rookie and we Colts fans will gladly give him a one year mulligan. He will play week 1, I think.
Seahawks, on the other hand, are close to contending in the weak NFC. They're currently the 4 seed by my count (Eagles, Niners, Cowboys) - and they're coming for the Niners this year. They just completed a second consecutive A+ draft and they're STACKED outside of DT.
Hawks have arguably the best WR trio in the NFL now with Metcalf/Lockett/JSN.
The NFL is basically a crapshoot at QB. So why not take a QB with immense potential over a guy like Levis for example who compares more to a Carson Wentz.
Can we atleast wait to see him in even a preseason game first? I mean, we talking about practice!! Not a game, not a game, we talking about practice man!
As a colts fan i hope he will succeed in this league. i am very happy with our new quart back. I do not watch college football that often but when i found we were on him in the begun of year i knew right away he was our guy. I was shocked myself when i read he is on fast track; i couldnt believe in my own eyes he is week one ready; i thought at lease week 4 he be the starter. I appreciate the Anthony richardson content. Should be interesting to see how this all play out during camp and preseason. I am just excited that we have a franchise quartback; now. It has been a long time since colts nation has been this exciting.
Man im so sorry but he is gonna be a bust just like B Young
He's gonna prove them ALL wrong!!
I can't wait until he breaks out and makes all these other teams defences be scared to death to play the Colts..
Imagine him playing well WITH Jonathan Taylor on the field at the same time...
That's scary.
I'm new to the podcast but I love the content brudda
I think with the colts line and a healthy Jonathon Taylor they can afford to start this experiment early. He will likely have a very simplified package of plays and a read one and sprint to the sticks mentality. His athleticism will allow him to buy time to learn and grow at reading complex nfl coverages.
The Colts line sucked last year and didn’t do anything to improve it.
Anthony Richardson has a natural talent for running and throwing. However, if they try and change and improve him too much. Oftentimes the over coaching can hurt a Qb. If they overdevelop his talent. That could take him out of his comfort zone. By trying to influence him mentally, it could reduce his natural abilities!!
As a colts fan let's goooo.
What makes this even more impressive is the colts got a pretty good defense , and for a guy who’s supposed to be hella raw and inexperienced playing pretty good against them is a really good thing. Even tho we did lose Gilmore and our secondary is kinda our weak point on defense , but against our wr’s it shouldn’t be that big of a loss during practice
Yall think all BLACK QBS ARE RAW, TO SHORT, OR WANT THEM TO PLAY A DIFFERENT POSITION BUT YET BLACK QBS ARE DOMINATING THE NFL👍🏿 KEEP IT 💯
Every comment you make is about race.
@@peoplevsradio317 I know your kind hates facts👍🏿 The BEST QB in the NFL right now is a Black QB👍🏿
@@roboif2606mahomes or Jackson for the top spot ?
@@roboif2606 - What are you, 80 years old? Who gives a flying floop about skin color?
I hope he's as good as the Colts think he's going to be.
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere-in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts of the Apostles 1:8 NLT)
I don't think he will lose his confidence he didn't lose it in college...I think he's ready and so what if he makes mistakes this is the NFL not college football he's a rookie but the line gotta protect this man periodt...if they protect him the sky is the limit
Man I wish he would have came back to Florida as a die hard Gator fan but I also understand knowing he was going to go top 5 why he didn't
Hey Matt, What do you say at the end of your videos? My husband and I can't figure it out. We know you're a huge Bama fan, but we don't understand Bama speak. We aren't Bama fans, but we love your channel.
Napier only had Richardson for 1 year.
First year starting in college, new coach, new system, hard to blame anyone at Florida for not winning with him right away (although I do think they didn’t run him enough, but even that was likely good for Richardsons long term career, trying to protect the guy).
If anything, if Richardson does well in year 1 in the NFL, you could credit Napier for having him so well prepared for the draft/NFL in 1 year.
the AR hate was so crazy and unwarranted (it still is) with people calling him a guaranteed bust and the next jamarcus russell. i hate it and i hope he destroys all his doubters.
I always prefer when a rookie sits behind a vet fir a season or two. Like Aaron Rodgers etc. Dozen of examples. Thats why i like Bryce Young not starting. Id orefer hes sit behind a better QB. Hopefully AR can get it and go! Love seeing a rookie QB shine!
This may end up being the best QB class in years. I believe every one of the five big QBs are getting glowing reviews so far. They will all be starting within three years, and probably at least four of them will end up being franchise players. And Richardson looks to definitely be doing his part so far.
Every rookie qb gets glowing reviews this time of year. Time will tell, but given the historical norm, only 1 maybe 2 of the top 5 QBs will amount to anything.
Panther fan that lives in Charlotte here. AR 15 will be the best QB from this draft.
His lowlights and highlights show all a pro coach should need to win. He played in the SEC. Meaning he played teams with better athletes than his team. NFL teams are judged by how many defenders they have that he played against. Not that he's seen NFL defenses, but he's taken hits from NFL talent. He knows that defenders can harm him. Some guys don't learn that and never catch on. Carson Wentz etc. Doesn't matter how big and strong you are the NFL will chop you down. Also why I think Bryce Young will be fine. Not because he can take punishment, but because he smart enough to avoid it. Richardson is hard to hit. He can take a few if he has to. The highlights show nice throws with replicable technique. The lowlights show mostly getting beat. He reminds me of Kurt Rambis. Kurt Rambis wasn't a dynamic amateur but what he did worked in the pros. What this kid does looks like it will work in the pros. What I see is that he is completely able to do everything he did in college because his skills fit.
We need to see way more everybody looks great without pads
Exactly an real nfl speed
We will see just lay around for it
I told everyone ESPECIALLY Raider fans that AR was going to be a future SuperStar QB but nobody wanted to listen...
He isn't there yet obviously, but it's clear he's off to a good start. Will Levis who was rumored to be the colts number 1 interest prior to the draft hasn't looked very good at all.
Lucky for colts fans that it appears the front office made a solid pick and decision grabbing him.
Man I was thinking the same thing. What does this say about Napier
“The man, the myth, the legend, or as I like to call him, Anthony Richardson” 😂
Leave this kid alone. Let him progress without giving him unreal expectations.
Speaking as a colt fan. I wouldn’t mind him starting week 1 even if they lose. He needs reps to get better so get him in there
The Lamborghini analogy, if you can’t afford the maintenance, don’t buy it.
With the current Colts QB room, Richardson should start week 1.
Every thing you hear about being good in practice should be taken with a grain of salt because its just practice where there is no pressure, you arent allowed to hit the quarterback and your not going up against a live defense that much. Im not saying he isnt good im just saying that being good in practice and being good in a game are two very different things
I like the guy and just hope he develops like allen
The main reason I sub to your channel is that your opinion isd yours and you don't try to please all. I like that I can disagree with you on certain takes cause it shows you're not just trying to appeal to everyone, even those who have the same takes as you on most topics. (Not saying I disagree with the AR takes just saying in general)
Maybe Napier's system coached AR up enabling him to be ready for the NFL? AR isn't advancing from a basis of 2 weeks of coaching at spring ball camp.
2weeks of spring ball please
What we missing here
He is used to losing
So by him playing bad and loosing confidence of what
He came from a losing back round
But he has mentality as a winner
So regardless it he do start bad with us being 0-0
He going be Ite
He around some good talent and leaders on offense and defense
So I think with his attitude and demeanor
Plus with his wild athleticism
He be great
Accuracy only knock lol that's pretty important for a QB. It's just practice he couldn't complete 50 percent of his passes in college but now all of a sudden ,no worries. Please we will see. Let's see how accurate he is after he gets hit a few times. I'm not buying the hype.
If you take out the drops from his receivers his percentage was in the 60s.
@@dantelabella9753 maybe...we will see, will he make some plays I'm sure. But I dont buy the hype till I see it. I see him as a Cam Newton, Kapernick type of player. Both made it to a superbowl. But short careers.
@@itizwhatitiz3394 it was like 63 to 65 % completion and a lot of them were throw aways from nobody getting open
I keep hearing a mix of jackson and newton I see alot of andrew luck,size,speed,cannon for a arm just my opinion
Peyton Manning had a record setting amount of interceptions his Rookie year. Im not saying he is Peyton Manning but let him play. I dont know when everyone got scared to start their rookies.
Every mobile quarterback should want to aspire to be Mike Vick from the Steelers-chargers game a few years back…still mobile but can sling the ball efficiently and reading the defense
Matt. Napier did not have 2 losing seasons. 2022 was his first year.
One question for you Matt, 'is Cooper Kupp just a slot guy"?
Nicely put.
I think we should get going with AR - 5 as soon as possible. i believe in him. How quickly it will result in success and wins I'll wait and see. Of course I want it to happen sooner than later. Either way I'm with Anthony. Go Colts!
People thought Herbert was a raw prospect
Richardson looks ready.
He hasn't taken a snap in a game yet. Let's not jinx the man and wait and see.
You said Billy Napier was the Florida State coach. Lol
He’s been raw just had to grow
I think that going by total amount of talent that shroud had behind him the weapons he had we can agree Ohio state had the way more talented team so if Anthony Richardson had the same weapons and just a little more vision he's really close to being on the same level my point I think Richardson will be the better league QB
Even tho colts ain’t the best team in the nfl he has better talent around him than at Florida
the Anthony Richardson fans are always in the comments saying he has good pocket awareness, good at reading defenses, and has a great and accurate arm. To me at least one of those things can’t be true or he wouldn’t have completed 54% of his passes. If your completion percentage is that low, you are struggling with at least one of those things if not more.
It's practice... we seen with ours eyes what he can do on the field...
Could be like Andrew Luck. Hope he can learn to protect himself a little better than Luck did.
Luck was a different situation that was the GMs fault for not getting him a better oline and Luck progressed super fast because Stanford at the time ran NFL style offense
@@richardcharles4126yeah luck did hold onto the ball for too long but that oline was not good bro I remember our center Samson satele garbinooooooooo , mewhort- pretty average he just got hit a lot I guess is my point he did make it worse by trying to do too much I remember that shot he took that split his spleen, brutal. He was tough as nails but to a fault
Fella YOU were wrong. I always was sold on Arich
Anthony is better than stroud and young
Exactly
Can't be that shocked. He played 13 college games. Most athletic chosen QB in history does not mean he's going to shock the nation. I hope he proves me wrong because I love the colts but I'm not a fan of a pick like this.
But we don’t know what level Bryce young And CJ Stroud are at until they play
Practice is PRACTICE. Minshew was traded by Jax because he made Trevor look bad in the OTAs. Look at Richardson’s throws in games. He needs to hold a clipboard to start.
They have an established QB with experience in the system who has an edge to compete above most other QBs in this league. Minshews stats were better than Murrays in his rookie season yet the Cardinals push of a short & under performing QB in 2018 in the media got him the ROY award.
Jax dumped the entire season leading up to the TL draft so they would get the first pick and literally hurt Minshews career by not playing him on purpose.
If the Colts want to win, they have the QB who runs a Play Action offense from college and ran the same system every week in Eagles camp. Minshew should start and Richardson should hold a clipboard until at least 2024 unless they do have a losing record so bad that its viable to risk the health of an investment like that to start them against a strong conference defense.
Russell Wilson is the best example. Drafted late, wasnt supposed to beat out the QB the Seachickens gave a nearly 50M contract to, and now nobody can even name the QB who was supposed to start before Russell took over.
This is going to be an annoying media hype until you see Kapernick 2.0 get exposed by experienced defensive coordinators. Give Richardson time to develop if they want him to be the QB of the future.
Remember the QB who came to the Redskins named Campbell. Yea and then Hoskins (RIP), too few of experience prior to being thrown into the fire.
17 Tds passing with 9 ints in his senior year at florida makes him raw. He can look like a superstar in practice, but from someone who played in college, saw qbs come and go who couldnt perform in games but were amazing in practice, a practice superstar qb is a practice qb.
Assistant coaches are watching a QB throw routes in OTAs right now but the biggest mistake they will make with him is starting him week 1. If aaron rogers started week 1, his career wouldnt have been successful.
I'm sure Richardson looked good at practice when he was at Florida too...
Just wait until the real game start
I'm more inclined to say Young isn't on Richardson's level. Young played for a stacked Alabama team. Stroud had a really good Ohio State team and Marvin Harrison Jr. What did Ricardson have? I am not impressed with Young. He is small and I'm not sure he is that good at making reads. He hangs on to the ball way too long and that will get him killed in the NFL. It is fine when you play for a beast of a team in college and you are facing college defenses. That won't fly in the NFL. Of the top 3 QBs picked, I think Young is the most likely one to flop.
Bryce young being small has dominated all competition at the highest level since he was a teen , won the hiesman in his first year actually starting at bama which has the most players in the NFL that have the most success . Any small problems he has will be fixed , there's obliviously a reason he went #1 being a undersized QB . Watch his highlights when he's under pressure and you'll change your mind lol .
And yeah as the Gators quarterback there was times he looked really good and there was times he looked bad because he was young he needed some extra time to develop and get better
It was his first time starting.. not many people just come to a new team and start for the first time at QB and have their best season
I saw him on an interview with Steve Meriuchi . Dude has a higher football I.Q than you think. See if you can find that interview.
Build his confidence if he’s really the damn MJ of football and can pull pure magic out his ass then let the confidence build he’s got a good enough head in his shoulder to not let confidence turn to cockiness
🤣🤣🤣 I watched this QB choke all year last year in the SEC. His best game is was literally the ONLY game he had zero expectations. The first game of the year vs Utah. This QB is a clown. Time will tell.
Sure you did
The Lamborghini analogy doesn't fly, most Lamborghini's have low miles.
Napier only had him for one year that's why I wish Richardson would have came back for his second year as the Gators starting quarterback
His problem has never been playing lights out at practice its transferring it to the game. There is no such thing as practice hall of fame.
I’m confused bc you just made a segment about clips of Levi’s not meaning anything bc you haven’t seen the low lights and it’s rookie minicamp with no rush. And now getting all hype over what colts coaches saying and his pocket presence at rookie minicamp with once again no rush haha. Everybody has a pocket presence right now. And Colts organization been clueless since Andrew luck who they couldn’t protect. They also hyped up Carson wentz and Matt Ryan all off-season too. We all saw how that turned out…lets slow our roll a bit
It's obvious.... Alabama man loves him a black quarterback and hates on one like Levis. #toowhite
Ok 1 film showed mayonnaise mans pocket awareness was garbage, and 2 lets just ignore rivers was ever there after luck and after he retired qb play went to garbage, yes eagles fleeced colts on a washed wentz and colts had poor choice bringing in burnt out noodle arm matt ryan, but who else was available jimmy g? 3. Let's not pretend like we didn't see luck just attempt to steamroll defenders instead of sliding , yes the blocking was bad but luck played hero ball on the ground
@@setalight7290 I never said Levi’s was going to be good either. Just saying don’t make sense he just ragged to not get hype over rookie minicamp for Levi’s bc that stuff don’t matter but doing exactly what he said not to do for Richardson…all I’m sayin. If that’s your standard than stand on that!! An never said anything about what other options colts had…don’t really care. My stance was on the reports that were coming from colts camp. All off-season I heard how richt and wentz back together were doing all these awesome things in camp. Also heard how Matt Ryan was such a leader in all off season and commanding the offense blah blah blah…all to be benched. Just sayin, reports that come from colts camp is more worthless than a skid mark. That’s 💯
@@brookje1485 any camp is worthless bozo
Wait till he has to read a nfl defense and it’s to fast for him
Still can't blame Napier because the plays that were called, many was off target. Especially in key points of the game. So home much was it on Richardson's mental or Napier???
Don't get me wrong, he's had several great plays. But you can't blame Napier when the plays wasn't being executed consistently.
GO GATORS.
Lmaooo yeah sure buddy we will see week 1
The guy really doesn't seem to be able to read defenses. I think his combine made him a bit overhyped. It's glorified practice. I'm still rooting for AR though. I think it would be best to let him sit behind a vet QB.
Let's talk about how their owner is clearly an alcoholic.
