Another article from Zach Hicks on what we are likely to see from our offense built around Richardson: https://www.si.com/nfl/colts/news/empty-theory-splitting-field-anthony-richardson

The Panthers let some 12 year old take snaps in their rookie mini camp...

The other day I went into the schedule thread and started doing the W/L predictions for every game. Ended up on 11-6 and decided not to post it because it seemed too optimistic for me

The thing with Richardson is... he's not accurate, but... he doesn't throw many interceptible balls. Even in college while throwing 54% completion his turnover worthy throws were relatively low. For example, both Levis... AND STROUD had higher turnover worthy plays % last year. Plus, if the offense is designed the way I imagine it designed, he will not be throwing as many balls to begin with so this will additionally lower the INT number. That's why I don't expect high teens or 20s INTs next season...

True... still, even at 63% Allen is one of the best QBs in the league. IMO if AR gets to 63% average for his career, he will have a very successful career.

2800 yards, 18TDs 9INT, 58% completion 850 yards rushing, 10 rushing TDs

Reasonable for this time of the year. We finished as the 4th worst team... We don't have many definitive upgrades, Maybe kicker is the biggest one... The rest of our biggest hopes for improvements are to one degree or another projections since both our new HC and our new QB will be rookies this year so even if they turn out good, maybe it takes them some time to put it all together. So yeah... we are in no position to be upset over rankings like this. It's on the team and the coaching staff to show they've been underrated On the over/under... I personally would get the over, but I think the line is relatively well set.

The 1 pm starts work great for me and it gives the team a certain consistency but it might not be best for the Colts as an organization for marketing sake. Oh well... we will get much more oppportunities for prime time games in the 15+ years AR HOF career...

Here's a story about Richardson Ballard shared at the Indiana Sports corp luncheon. We got a good one, guys and gals. No idea if he pans out, but he seems like a genuine good person with a sense of responsibility.

More inside content on the Colts picking Richardson possibly coming...

We lost one of our analytics guys who served as Reich's analytics guy in the booth to the Panthers. Gelman seems like a replacement for him.

RG has to be the position right now... still not sure about the CBs... but at least we are getting infusion of multiple high end athletes and hopefully at least one fo them looks good this year, and maybe even more to become viable in the long-term.

I heard the media talking about it too... it's possible there is some sort of OTAs going on next week. Just weird that it's not in the official schedule... https://www.si.com/nfl/colts/news/colts-offseason-program-dates-announced-otas-minicamp

I was looking at the off-season schedule dates and I couldn't find anything for next week. Weird..

I am this close to pronouncing AR a front runner for the MVP...

Yeah, I already signed up for the lottery... https://shp.csharmony.epsilon.com/pages/NFL_US/2023_Germany_ROI/

Bulgaria... Already registered for the tickets. Hope I get lucky with it...

If you had to give it a probability % of Grigson getting another shot as a GM in the NFL in the next... 10 years, what do you think the % would be? Lets say tomorrow Ballard decides to step down for some unknown reason. Would you want Grigson back? And just so I don't get accused of not answering my own hypotheticals the answers for me would be - about 0.01% on the first one and "HELL NO" on the second one. Maybe I'm biased, but I believe I have very good reasons for my leaning in this occasion. And I'm saying this, while acknowledging that in some regards my philosophies align closer with Grigson's than with Ballard's.

Same if anyone can get me ticket for this one, would be appreciated

Frankfurt is over 1000 miles from me, but if I manage to get tickets I think I will make the trip this year

This is super exciting!!! I'm gonna try to make the trip too if this game gets confirmed(edit: seems like it's confirmed!!!). No idea how I will get tickets

Me, but I'm also ready to move on from giving daily or even weekly attention to Levis.
