re: Anthony Richardson named Colts starter

Makes sense to me. They’re not going to compete this year. End up with the #1 or #2 pick, and some team will offer you a gazillion picks/players for Caleb Williams or Drake Maye (or another QB) who will be available at that time.


Yep. And if he looks like the light isn’t going to come on you could always take the better prospect.

This is what I think, but people are discounting Richardson's passing and writing him off prematurely. Mechanically he is obviously sloppy, which you saw with some high passes this weekend, but he actually goes through progressions, reacts to coverages both in real time and from previous plays, and clearly understands route concepts and what the offense is trying to accomplish. He is miles ahead of what Malik Willis was coming in, who I've seen him compared to a lot.

Not saying he will for sure work out, but when you're that athletic you don't have to be the world's best passer.
