JJ Watt should think its funny that the Colts are running out a QB who's putting up all time bad efficiency numbers. If you like the Colts winning and would like to protect AR from flaming out instantly (because he totally is, undeniably) without any chance of fixing it, let him go out and play at the level he is a few more times.
So you watched those 20 minutes but didn't watch the end of it where he said he hopes he learns from it and ends up being the future of the team. Maybe watch the show and don't make assumptions.
@@josephdowney2715 also no 😂😂 it's Pat playing into the fact that he has become the big sport media guy he used to make fun of all those years ago, that fence is starting to get real tall 🤣
No, they're not wrong for benching him. They're wrong for starting him in the first place his rookie season. He was always a project. Much more so than Drake Maye is, and there's people who still think he shouldn't be playing at all this season.
idk I feel like you can give him a chance to prove himself although he didn't have much experience to begin with. I agree you bench him after the way things have been going.
That’s what I’ve been saying , AR was more raw than Jordan Love and Love sat for THREE DAMN YEARS. We really should’ve sat him for that long but Irsay and 75% of this fanbase are too impatient for such a method
He sucked at Florida, he should never have started last year. He has all the tools and if he could hit the broad side of a barn, he’d probably throw the ball through it. Problem is hitting the barn. He should’ve sat a couple years behind a veteran qb.
No, this "entire city" is tired of using bandaid QBs for the 4th year in a row. Management has chosen to chase short-term success for ticket sales and profit yet again over long term success. So no, this FO is failing the fans. Nothing else

@@BigRichardNRG96I thought that’s why we brought Flacco but they had the comeback player of the year and former MVP ride the bench for a dude with the worst pass accuracy in nfl history.
You’re failing the locker room by going for a playoff run with Flacco. Anybody remember Flacco last year in the playoffs 1 TD 2 INT 55 QBR. Just a bunch of morons making decisions. If we only win 4 games this season with Richardson we get a high draft pick at least and he will be better acclimated to the NFL by next season and if he tanks next season too we get a high draft pick again and you bench him and move on. If we go 9-8 or 10-7 this season no high draft pick and next season we’re back at square one with no Flacco and back at square one. Having a qb sit behind someone else only works if we had a qb already and developing a new one under the vet

Pat is the one always saying that if Andrew Luck could've sat & watched Peyton run the Colts for just 1 year he would've been even better than he was. This is the Colts last chance to do exactly that with AR. Have him sit back, stress free, and watch a Super Bowl champion lead a team to the playoffs. Learn, watch, practice, and next year pick up right where Flacco leaves off
The NFLPA negotiated toughness and development out of the game. Injuries are up and quality play is down. Why? You get better at playing football by playing football. Practice is exceptionally important. Reducing the amount of practice time and contact in practice has negatively impacted the NFL product. I don't know how people aren't seeing this as the root issue.
It's the same thing in baseball and basketball in regards to playing less. In football specifically, they are trying to make something inherently unsafe safe. It's never going to work, and it makes for a less entertaining product.
can’t play both sides bro u called him out like you’ve rarely done to other players, gotta understand the influence sports media has on ppls careers. shapes public opinion and leads to business decisions.
I think Pat let too much of the "colts fan" in him cut loose on AR. I think he pumped the brakes on his stance. just my guess. it did seem a little harsh, and i think Pat's reaction would have been different if it was some random team (QB) in the NFL.
He does struggle with accuracy but the Colts WRs are dropping 12% of catchable passes this season so they aren’t helping him either. 1 bad flag and 2 drops kept him from 4 TDs Sunday
Numbers don’t tell the story, eye in the sky does. Richardson is just overwhelmed, he’s thinking not reacting…it’s all over the film. His receivers aren’t doing him any favors either. They dropped 3 passes in the end zone on Sunday alone
@@nnjjee1 comparing him to Josh Allen based off college stats and potential is crazy though.

JJ....... I've been saying this in the comments of Colts posts for weeks now. WHAT HAPPENED TO DEVELOPMENT???? not everything can go in the microwave some things you just gotta put in the oven
Yoo thats crazy i felt the same way! I argue all day in these comment sections for AR to play but the fans just wanna win now Shits exhausting! JJ nailed it
Maybe he just doesn't have it and everyone associated with the organization sees it. There is only so much time to invest before that roster spot is more valuable than the player.
I would agree with that take for the vast majority of NFL QB prospects but AR is a unique prospect to say the least. I don’t know if an experiment like this has ever been attempted with a QB with less football games played in his life. The NFL is not the place to learn the game of football. That’s how it feels with AR, he isn’t just learning high level QB but the very basics of the game itself. Him being out there will only destroy what little confidence he has left. He also likely lost the locker room with his performances and the fact “he was tired.” The coaches and locker room know exactly what QB they have, one that is many years away from being ready and will probably never get there based on what has been shown so far.
JJ Watt is 100% correct, the Colts have to find out what they have in AR5 while he's on his rookie contract, especially knowing that this season is not all in
His upside was his athletic ability but he keeps getting injured and apparently has bad cardio💀This is the equivalent of drafting a 7'2 NBA player who cant dunk or get rebounds

What are we talking about? It was the standard for years that our rookie QB needs to sit behind a veteran. It wasn’t until recently that rookies are given the keys so early in their career
@gumball5024 No, it wasn't. It wasn't the standard. It still isn't the standard. And don't bring up Love or Rodgers. They are the exception. Not the rule
@@salvatoreregalbuto5444 All other positions have replacements available just as good. There’s more quality depth in other positions. There are not many good QBs.

Damn. As a Colts fan it truly saddens me to have to agree with anything JJ Watt has to say, but he’s exactly right in this case. Its bothersome that Mcafee throws him under the bus one day and then talks out the other side of his mouth the next.
@TheGreatKaz No excuse. Any given Sunday. FLACCO has a better QBR and completion percentage. There is no excuse for those stats with Richardson. Shall we continue?
what Watt is completely missing is Richardson is the exact same player he was week 1 of last year. There has to be some improvement and Richardson has shown nothing.
As a parent you have to discipline your kids. They have to learn to be accountable for their actions. That’s what’s taking place here. I don’t believe he’s benched for the year. But you can’t let that kind of behavior go unpunished. It’s ARs choice, you behave like a child you get treated like a child.
He's had 3 games where he hasn't even completed 50% of his passes. That's unacceptable in today's football. The Colts are 4-4 and still in it. Let him sit and learn. Hopefully he will gain something from sitting. He will get another shot at some point.
They don't, really. Yes. That Packers and Chiefs did. But the Chiefs could have started Mahomes and been fine. Favre was still winning games and in his prime when they drafted Rodgers. Favre didn't sit his rookie year. He was injured. He went to the Packers and took over almost immediately. Aikman took over immediately. So did Marino. Manning started immediately and that turned out fine.
Josh Allen's situation was completely different. He was initially on the bench but Nathan Peterman was so bad they had no choice but to start playing Josh Allen.
This was a bad pick to begin with. When he was being compared to Cam Newton they should have went in a different direction. The Manning curse continues!
Biggest issue with Young Qbs now is the team needs them to win during their rookie contract, knowing even an avg QB is gonna take up 40 million a year against the cap on their next contract.
For a credible sports show you guys just don't get it. AR quit on his team. They will lose the entire room if they let AR go on without consequence. The team isn't going to bust their ass, risk injury for a guy who isn't. It's just that simple.
Bruh, he quit on his team!!! Vince Young did something extremely similar when he was the starting QB of the Tennessee Titans!!! Kerry Collins was named the starter and Vince Young never played another down in the NFL!!! The commentator is right, Anthony Richardson should have lied!!!☹️👍🏿
I see a trend, first Andrew Luck quits during a preseason game and now Richardson quits during a game. It must be hard playing on the Colts. What kind of micky mouse operation they got there?!?!
Considering the number of Florida fans who told me that AR was going to be a bust when he was drafted, no i don't think the Colts are wrong for benching him. He has all the physical traits, but until his mind catches up, he is a liability for the team. Don't blame the NFL for asking these players to read more than 2 options of where the ball should go. Blame coachs in college who have dumbed down the offenses so much. There, the talent is spread out so much that only among the top teams do you see anything like an nfl defense so these kids are able to create ridiculous numbera playing lesser defenses and never learn the postion.
Figure out what you have with Richardson? A tired guy. Who doesn’t understand that no matter how tired you are, you can’t check out. If you don’t get that, then that’s the problem.
6:50 how are you gonna say Trey Lance is comparable then say Josh Allen isn't because of situation? Lance was in a much better situation than Richardson is right now, and Richardson is in a vastly better situation than Allen was. Either both Allen and Lance are comparable or neither are comparable.
5:45 Quarterback contracts happened. These dudes play for like two or three years before they start demanding a $50 million a year contract. Teams only get a few years on that rookie deal to make a superbowl run before their cap gets destroyed by the massive QB contract. Richardson is definitely the type to hold out early too.
It was for sure AR saying he was tired. That’s 💩 is inexcusable. Plus he’s consistently playing very badly…Flacco definitely gives them the better chance of winning but it should’ve been done sooner like JJ says in this video. Imo the stupid move was drafting AR to begin with. No hate on your comment at all, just speaking my opinion. Have a good one
@@soulknife20 yea 😂 I totally agree with the playoff thing. But imo that’d happen with Flacco or Richardson. Do you think AR would do better in a playoff game? Genuinely asking…
@@Nunya310I don't think he would. I'm not delusional. I knew AR was going to be a project for a couple of seasons. He essentially lost a whole season and off-season development with that shoulder injury, which was apparently an injury that he had since high school. He's having to relearn how to throw basically
He has worse numbers than Jamarcus Rusell and the "electrifying" play is him escaping the pocket, almost getting sacked, breaking free and running back to the line of scrimmage for 0 yards gained. Nobody needs to bully a front office for them to bench a garbage player.
Bad take I think if you watched it, he probably tweeked his knee and or ankle and or hip and due to the constant media talk about how his injury prone he had a stinger and went out for a play. Just like running backs and receivers do all the time, most quarterback, staying in the pocket, but quarterbacks who are mobile run push Linemen off of them and take hits from safeties might need to sit out to play 🤷🏽♂️
Nope, dude can't complete passes. One of the worst rates in history along with JaMarcus Russell, Ryan Leaf, leaving him in without working on that alone is a recipe for a failed career.
Personally, I think they're wrong for starting him in the first place. He needs time. We knew he was a project coming in. The Colts are just a ridiculous organisation.
Yes they are wrong. Ballard and Irsay and Shane all preached to the fans to give him time. And after ten starts and one bad mistake he’s out? For Flacco to win 8 games and go nowhere! What a joke of an organization
1 mistake? You guys don't understand the gravity of the situation, you draft a project QB because he has incredible athleticism, and then when push comes to shove he can't even stay on the field for an entire drive cause he got tired. How can you defend the guy at that point?
The problem with the NFL today is there is so many people out there 24/7 giving their useless opinions and those opinions are driving what happens on the field and in the locker room.
Huh? I thought Pat was criticizing him for being tired and comparing him to Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins, Matthew Stafford who had "dawgs" in them who continued to play even in pain from injuries?
Everyone, including Pat on Monday was talking about "Richardson can't be taking himself out of the game" and "Can he recover from this in the eyes of his teammates and fans?" and "This is a really bad look". If you play professional sport, you didn't just start playing yesterday. You know the expectation. You know you can't quit on your team. Young or not that's not something you just "didn't know". For AR and Tyrique Stevenson to make the mistakes they made this last week and they go to the media and say "lesson learned".... yeah. You should have learned that lesson at the VERY latest in high school when competition started going up. Also, people saying "put him out there and let him develop", what about letting him sit for a year or two and develop in practice?
this will be good for AR long term....he can watch and learn and honestly every good QB in the league sat behind a starter and wasn't immediately thrown in....Mahomes, Lamar, Brady, Rodgers, Love etc.
Safety issue as well I'm sure. Line may not go as hard for him and pass rushers know to make him run. It'd be another season ending injury waiting to happen.
AR15 was a 3rd round talent with a lot of potential, but that was way too risky. If you take someone that unproven that high when he's young, you don't throw him straight into the QB1 spot. He's a bad QB and wasn't special in college. He's an unreal athlete, but not a QB. Move him to TE at this point.
@soulknife20 that is not at all the same comparison 😂 Manning was actually good in college and they knew he could fight thru growing pains. AR15 is straight up garbage and wasn't good in college.
Hell, Manning was also on a bad team. AR15 has 1 of the best RBs in the league to take pressure off him and still is trash. No real surprise here from me.
Josh was humble and hungry to be great. Josh: “you figure it out or they figure you out”. He knew he had to outwork everyone. He spent his offseasons working, even before his 1st camp, with Jordan Palmer. Josh runs his butt off and loves contact. He’s a QB that’s a true football player.
Arich deserves to be benched. Dont see the problem, he can develop while still being on the sidelines. Up to management to decide if it’s a lost season or compete for the playoffs. At 4-4 I can’t blame them for the latter.
Teams lie for players & tell players to lie all the time for a multitude of reasons especially if they like you & want to keep the player. The Colts don’t want him anymore.
I used to be a QB as a teen Tapping out is ok but telling the truth about being tired was wrong Everyone gets tired but your told to give it that extra effort MAN IT UP offensive line MAN IT UP defense MAN IT UP and wear that ass on your jersey and TAKE THE HITS AND MAN IT UP stick that ass out MAN IT UP and lie when you TAP OUT
Leaves the pocket to get sacked, miraculously breaks free, runs back to the line of scrimmage for a 0 yard gain and Pat calls it electrifying. He really needs someone with eyes and common sense to tell him once in a while "Yo, Pat, shut up"
The broken tackle is what he meant, and he is right, if Richardson doesn't immediately check out of the game. If you can't continue to play cause it took too much to throw down a DLINEMAN, trying doing the job of a QB AND THROW THE BALL AWAY
They need a developmental league. GB has it down. Love sat for 3 years. Richardson is similar to Trey Lance. Both did not play much in college. Let them sit and learn.
College is basically the equivalent of development leagues. The problem is the players who didn't play much in college and still get drafted high for some reason
This isn’t about the org failing him, this is a mental toughness, maturity, leadership, QB intangibles problem. QBs are held to a different standard, hence the huge difference in pay. Burrow got hurt his rookie year yet took his boys to the Super Bowl year 2. CJ stroud is a consensus top 10 QB by year 2. We gotta stop making excuses for guys with a poor attitude and show them what this multi billion business is about.
Tbh drafting Anthony Richardson was an awful move from the Colts GM and head coach. You’d have to be stupid to not know that he was so far behind CJ Stroud and Bryce Young in terms of development and that he wasn’t ready to go to the nfl. You can’t draft someone as the 5th overall pick who has only played a single season of college football at Quarterback and is literally 20 years old to be the face of your franchise. People that are that young and inexperienced can’t lead a team with 30 year old men on it. It’s embarrassing that the GM couldn’t figure that out.
@@RonnieM90I also think Bryce was a bust, but in some ways I give the panthers leniency, I thought he might be good enough to figure it out despite his frame given his stats in college. Anthony Richardson had 17 passing touchdowns and 9 interceptions in his only year as a starter at Florida. It’s like the Raiders drafting Alex Leatherwood at Tackle in the first round. All based on potential, no demonstrated talent.
@@Montythedog123you also have to give the panthers leniency because Bryce Young was a Heisman winning QB, if you skip out on drafting him and he becomes a great player your job is done for, even with CJ Stroud, on the other hand Richardson did nothing in college to put pressure on a gm for picking him. 2 completely different circumstances.

Damn. As a Colts fan it truly saddens me to have to agree with anything JJ Watt has to say, but he’s exactly right in this case. Its bothersome that Mcafee throws him under the bus one day and then talks out the other side of his mouth the next.
first time to see JJ really talk, love this guy more now
Watt is a good speaker and provides some good insight. 🎉😊
Saying Colts are not completely invested in AR is absurd. AR is not completely invested into being a NFL QB. But I'm tired 😂
You tried little buddy
@@soulknife20 No. AR tried. He is worse than what he was last season. Bust
@@soulknife20Which is a whole lot more than AR did 😂. Dude's phoning it in in his first real season.
Flacco did worse than AR, what’s your excuse now?
@TheGreatKaz No excuse. Any given Sunday. FLACCO has a better QBR and completion percentage. There is no excuse for those stats with Richardson. Shall we continue?
what Watt is completely missing is Richardson is the exact same player he was week 1 of last year. There has to be some improvement and Richardson has shown nothing.
JJ I definitely agree with your take. Development went way out the window in the NFL.
As a parent you have to discipline your kids. They have to learn to be accountable for their actions. That’s what’s taking place here. I don’t believe he’s benched for the year. But you can’t let that kind of behavior go unpunished. It’s ARs choice, you behave like a child you get treated like a child.
He's had 3 games where he hasn't even completed 50% of his passes. That's unacceptable in today's football. The Colts are 4-4 and still in it. Let him sit and learn. Hopefully he will gain something from sitting. He will get another shot at some point.
The teams who sit their rookies tend to do better in the long run. Developing a QB doesn't mean throwing them in the fire right away
They don't, really. Yes. That Packers and Chiefs did. But the Chiefs could have started Mahomes and been fine. Favre was still winning games and in his prime when they drafted Rodgers. Favre didn't sit his rookie year. He was injured. He went to the Packers and took over almost immediately. Aikman took over immediately. So did Marino. Manning started immediately and that turned out fine.
Josh Allen's situation was completely different. He was initially on the bench but Nathan Peterman was so bad they had no choice but to start playing Josh Allen.
So. He started right away. So it isn't any different
This was a bad pick to begin with. When he was being compared to Cam Newton they should have went in a different direction. The Manning curse continues!
Why do people forget who started their career off the bench. Brady. Brees. Rodgers. Mahomes. Lamar, etc.
Mike penix the next goat
Biggest issue with Young Qbs now is the team needs them to win during their rookie contract, knowing even an avg QB is gonna take up 40 million a year against the cap on their next contract.
He failed himself by not working on his passing.
The guy gets worse week by week.
At some point, being athletically gifted is not enough.
Someone from the org told Pat to pipe down on AR. We know your true feelings on him. He’s cooked
Says you
@@soulknife20So says a lot of people. He is toast.💩
@@chrisparson4542You tried kiddo
@@chrisparson4542 why do his teammates disagree with that statement then?
Clearly not cooked. Just needs to grow a little.
Pretty soon Pat won't be able to talk about AR any more. Just like Caitlin Clark.
This interview made me love JJ!
For a credible sports show you guys just don't get it. AR quit on his team. They will lose the entire room if they let AR go on without consequence. The team isn't going to bust their ass, risk injury for a guy who isn't. It's just that simple.
Bruh, he quit on his team!!! Vince Young did something extremely similar when he was the starting QB of the Tennessee Titans!!! Kerry Collins was named the starter and Vince Young never played another down in the NFL!!! The commentator is right, Anthony Richardson should have lied!!!☹️👍🏿
As a Colts fan I love what JJ had to say here
I see a trend, first Andrew Luck quits during a preseason game and now Richardson quits during a game. It must be hard playing on the Colts. What kind of micky mouse operation they got there?!?!
Considering the number of Florida fans who told me that AR was going to be a bust when he was drafted, no i don't think the Colts are wrong for benching him. He has all the physical traits, but until his mind catches up, he is a liability for the team. Don't blame the NFL for asking these players to read more than 2 options of where the ball should go. Blame coachs in college who have dumbed down the offenses so much. There, the talent is spread out so much that only among the top teams do you see anything like an nfl defense so these kids are able to create ridiculous numbera playing lesser defenses and never learn the postion.
Funny to hear AR call himself the 2nd best running QB! That young man hasn’t done a fraction of what JF has done running the ball! Delusional 🤦🏽♂️
Figure out what you have with Richardson? A tired guy. Who doesn’t understand that no matter how tired you are, you can’t check out. If you don’t get that, then that’s the problem.
6:50 how are you gonna say Trey Lance is comparable then say Josh Allen isn't because of situation? Lance was in a much better situation than Richardson is right now, and Richardson is in a vastly better situation than Allen was. Either both Allen and Lance are comparable or neither are comparable.
Joe Flacco generally deserves to play tbh
The NFL media has been babying QBs for a while now. Yet people are surprised when all the QBs are babies
It's a heart issue and you can't teach heart that dude either has it or he doesn't and clearly he does not. Glad he's not my team's quarterback.
5:45 Quarterback contracts happened.
These dudes play for like two or three years before they start demanding a $50 million a year contract. Teams only get a few years on that rookie deal to make a superbowl run before their cap gets destroyed by the massive QB contract. Richardson is definitely the type to hold out early too.
The colts are wrong keeping him on the roster
Colts front office got bullied into this move by the media . This was stupid asf
It was for sure AR saying he was tired. That’s 💩 is inexcusable. Plus he’s consistently playing very badly…Flacco definitely gives them the better chance of winning but it should’ve been done sooner like JJ says in this video. Imo the stupid move was drafting AR to begin with. No hate on your comment at all, just speaking my opinion. Have a good one
@@Nunya310Flacco might win. But then what? Get blown out in the playoffs? Yeah. That's great. Sitting behind a QB doesn't really work.
@@soulknife20 yea 😂 I totally agree with the playoff thing. But imo that’d happen with Flacco or Richardson. Do you think AR would do better in a playoff game? Genuinely asking…
@@Nunya310I don't think he would. I'm not delusional. I knew AR was going to be a project for a couple of seasons. He essentially lost a whole season and off-season development with that shoulder injury, which was apparently an injury that he had since high school. He's having to relearn how to throw basically
He has worse numbers than Jamarcus Rusell and the "electrifying" play is him escaping the pocket, almost getting sacked, breaking free and running back to the line of scrimmage for 0 yards gained. Nobody needs to bully a front office for them to bench a garbage player.
Pat waffles on this so much he got his balls stuck on the fence.
Seems like the Colts are failing him by not getting his ass on the treadmill more often.
Bad take I think if you watched it, he probably tweeked his knee and or ankle and or hip and due to the constant media talk about how his injury prone he had a stinger and went out for a play. Just like running backs and receivers do all the time, most quarterback, staying in the pocket, but quarterbacks who are mobile run push Linemen off of them and take hits from safeties might need to sit out to play 🤷🏽♂️
Perception is reality, so make sure you give people the best reality you can to make yourself look as good as you can. 😂
Nope, dude can't complete passes. One of the worst rates in history along with JaMarcus Russell, Ryan Leaf, leaving him in without working on that alone is a recipe for a failed career.
We need a film breakdown by JJ Watt like we have with QT shipley and Butler. It would be a fun session watching JJ breakdown stunts and pass rushes
Personally, I think they're wrong for starting him in the first place. He needs time. We knew he was a project coming in. The Colts are just a ridiculous organisation.
He has to earn the spot simple
Yes they are wrong. Ballard and Irsay and Shane all preached to the fans to give him time. And after ten starts and one bad mistake he’s out? For Flacco to win 8 games and go nowhere! What a joke of an organization
I don't think you're all taking into consideration that he's flaming out in front of your eyes. This is his mulligan. A chance to save face.
1 mistake? You guys don't understand the gravity of the situation, you draft a project QB because he has incredible athleticism, and then when push comes to shove he can't even stay on the field for an entire drive cause he got tired. How can you defend the guy at that point?
The problem with the NFL today is there is so many people out there 24/7 giving their useless opinions and those opinions are driving what happens on the field and in the locker room.
I'd think how he has played has a lot to do with it.
@@timkinley1779 no, the problem is that we saw it and know it's consistent with the stats that say he's all time bad
Huh? I thought Pat was criticizing him for being tired and comparing him to Patrick Mahomes, Kirk Cousins, Matthew Stafford who had "dawgs" in them who continued to play even in pain from injuries?
Everyone, including Pat on Monday was talking about "Richardson can't be taking himself out of the game" and "Can he recover from this in the eyes of his teammates and fans?" and "This is a really bad look". If you play professional sport, you didn't just start playing yesterday. You know the expectation. You know you can't quit on your team. Young or not that's not something you just "didn't know". For AR and Tyrique Stevenson to make the mistakes they made this last week and they go to the media and say "lesson learned".... yeah. You should have learned that lesson at the VERY latest in high school when competition started going up.
Also, people saying "put him out there and let him develop", what about letting him sit for a year or two and develop in practice?
this will be good for AR long term....he can watch and learn and honestly every good QB in the league sat behind a starter and wasn't immediately thrown in....Mahomes, Lamar, Brady, Rodgers, Love etc.
You're missing Aikman, Marino, Favre, Montana, and Manning. Because you know that counters your argument. Also. Love isn't that good
@@soulknife20so In your opinion love isn't that good and Richardson is getting screwed 😂 sure buddy
The PR person was tired.
Joe flacco is elite!
Jj is awesome 😂😂😂
Safety issue as well I'm sure. Line may not go as hard for him and pass rushers know to make him run. It'd be another season ending injury waiting to happen.
AR15 was a 3rd round talent with a lot of potential, but that was way too risky. If you take someone that unproven that high when he's young, you don't throw him straight into the QB1 spot. He's a bad QB and wasn't special in college. He's an unreal athlete, but not a QB. Move him to TE at this point.
Glad you ain't in charge. You'd have gotten rid of Manning after his first season
@soulknife20 that is not at all the same comparison 😂 Manning was actually good in college and they knew he could fight thru growing pains. AR15 is straight up garbage and wasn't good in college.
Hell, Manning was also on a bad team. AR15 has 1 of the best RBs in the league to take pressure off him and still is trash. No real surprise here from me.
Weakness breeds weakness, you have to bench him. Have him hit the treadmill or bike while the games are being played to improve conditioning.
At least the colts can easily get off AR after another year if he doesn’t develop. Can’t say the same for the brown and cowboys with their qb’s
I like the questions JJ asks. Seen him ask Bill Belichick some good questions on another podcast too, hope he gets on more stuff.
The dude benched himself. The Colts just told him to stay there
At the end of the day, a man has to realize he's responsible for his own decisions, good or bad.
Josh was humble and hungry to be great. Josh: “you figure it out or they figure you out”. He knew he had to outwork everyone. He spent his offseasons working, even before his 1st camp, with Jordan Palmer. Josh runs his butt off and loves contact. He’s a QB that’s a true football player.
The game is way too fast for Richardson to process, he is mentally exhausted 😂😂😂
Arich deserves to be benched. Dont see the problem, he can develop while still being on the sidelines. Up to management to decide if it’s a lost season or compete for the playoffs. At 4-4 I can’t blame them for the latter.
Look at the falcons…., they were mocked for penix jr. There’s a team with a plan!
Teams lie for players & tell players to lie all the time for a multitude of reasons especially if they like you & want to keep the player. The Colts don’t want him anymore.
It’s cool to hear a guy who’s entire life revolved around ruining QB careers coming to defend young QBs lol
just milk it and comeback in the game as a hero
I used to be a QB as a teen Tapping out is ok but telling the truth about being tired was wrong Everyone gets tired but your told to give it that extra effort MAN IT UP offensive line MAN IT UP defense MAN IT UP and wear that ass on your jersey and TAKE THE HITS AND MAN IT UP stick that ass out MAN IT UP and lie when you TAP OUT
Thank you watt for putting him on blasting for not believing in AR
The current situation in Indy is a great example on why you don't draft a dude solely off potential.
The Falcons let Favre go to Green Bay after 2 passes.
They thought they knew.
Leaves the pocket to get sacked, miraculously breaks free, runs back to the line of scrimmage for a 0 yard gain and Pat calls it electrifying. He really needs someone with eyes and common sense to tell him once in a while "Yo, Pat, shut up"
The broken tackle is what he meant, and he is right, if Richardson doesn't immediately check out of the game. If you can't continue to play cause it took too much to throw down a DLINEMAN, trying doing the job of a QB AND THROW THE BALL AWAY
Year 6 on the Daniel Jones " Let him develop" Giants Fan.
The Colts failed Andrew Luck but this guy just sucks
Nope
@@soulknife2044% completion rate what Film are you watching ??? Nobody cares he can throw a ball 70 yards he is trash in the intermediate passing game
This is just a build up of bad play. There was eventually going to be one play that caused for everyone to call for his job.
JJ was on point
They need a developmental league. GB has it down. Love sat for 3 years. Richardson is similar to Trey Lance. Both did not play much in college. Let them sit and learn.
Love is still incredibly meh. Like. Troy Aikman started his rookie year and it went about as well as expected. He stunk
Trey Lance never had it though
Experience is better than watching a game 24/7
@@HYP3DSNIP3Rand Richardson does?? Do you know his stats at all?
College is basically the equivalent of development leagues. The problem is the players who didn't play much in college and still get drafted high for some reason
Steichen should be on that bench right next to ar
This isn’t about the org failing him, this is a mental toughness, maturity, leadership, QB intangibles problem.
QBs are held to a different standard, hence the huge difference in pay.
Burrow got hurt his rookie year yet took his boys to the Super Bowl year 2. CJ stroud is a consensus top 10 QB by year 2.
We gotta stop making excuses for guys with a poor attitude and show them what this multi billion business is about.
are we supposed to feel bad for a guy who knows how hard it is to get there and play ..... yawn
Sam Darnold is an excellent example of what JJ is talking about here.
Tbh drafting Anthony Richardson was an awful move from the Colts GM and head coach. You’d have to be stupid to not know that he was so far behind CJ Stroud and Bryce Young in terms of development and that he wasn’t ready to go to the nfl. You can’t draft someone as the 5th overall pick who has only played a single season of college football at Quarterback and is literally 20 years old to be the face of your franchise. People that are that young and inexperienced can’t lead a team with 30 year old men on it. It’s embarrassing that the GM couldn’t figure that out.
He was actually the forth pick. At the moment, Bryce Young looks like a bust, too. CJ Stroud looks like the only good QB from that draft.
@@RonnieM90I also think Bryce was a bust, but in some ways I give the panthers leniency, I thought he might be good enough to figure it out despite his frame given his stats in college. Anthony Richardson had 17 passing touchdowns and 9 interceptions in his only year as a starter at Florida. It’s like the Raiders drafting Alex Leatherwood at Tackle in the first round. All based on potential, no demonstrated talent.
@@Montythedog123you also have to give the panthers leniency because Bryce Young was a Heisman winning QB, if you skip out on drafting him and he becomes a great player your job is done for, even with CJ Stroud, on the other hand Richardson did nothing in college to put pressure on a gm for picking him. 2 completely different circumstances.
JJ is a smart dude and totally right.
