  1. Anthony Richardson should have been replaced simply because his passes are off target (difficult or impossible to catch) and he can’t reliably affect the snap. When he fumbles, he has tried, but failed, to pick up the ball, leading to a turnover to the other team. My recollection is that Richardson is 220 out of 224 QBs in completion percentage in the last 20+ years. Many of those 224 were rookie QBs too.

    Not to mention, signaling his depleted physical state so publicly, with the head tap, he communicates information helpful to the opponent should he re-enter the game

    He’s unready to play. Playing him now risks his permanent injury with little likelihood of victory. That is a poor short-term risk/reward proposition.

    Play Flacco now, let Richardson develop through coaching. Make this a long-term victory instead of short-term, and possibly long-term, loss. Do the guy a favor and coach him to play in the NFL before ruining his career as the Colts are doing now.

    1. The only time the Indianapolis Colts successfully developed a quarterback they drafted was when Bill Polian was running football operations with an iron fist.

      Every other time, they’ve failed miserably. What makes you think they’re going to be able to do it this time?

      Why do people think the Peyton Manning era is the norm, instead of a historical aberration?
