That seems pretty good for Richardson.
Yup. Executing when everyone knows what you want to do. Best of the rooks.

Nothing but ridiculous PR talk while being non committal. It's kind of amusing how fake it is.
Did we expect anything else given how this has all played out?
It's corp-speak, PR nonsense on both sides. We know the fact is the guy wants to get paid and doesnt care who pays him. What else did we expect?

Spend the 12 minutes watching this, listen to the questions, listen to his responses to those questions, and then tell me that he's being honest.
He's deflecting, redirecting, ignoring the substance of the question, refusing to acknowledge basic facts, etc.
I understand that he needed to play up the injury -- which we all know is bogus, so him acting like this is all about getting 100% healthy is a lie from the start -- but his answers in general are the stuff of delusion.
8 minutes in, and I'll say this.
I think we have a different view of what I meant by honesty. Yes, he deflected pretty much every serious question about the drama and contract and whether he wants to be a Colt.
He didnt sugarcoat things when he could have.

Just now, Superman said:
Have you listened to the whole presser?
Not yet. Just extended snippets.
What's he said that's different to you or stands out as dishonest?
The one bit that stood out was when he was asked how long he's been healthy. That bit was obviously always going to be a sticking point for both sides.

I'm listening to the presser right now. There's no honesty from JT in this thing.
How exactly?
I think what he didnt say was extremely honest. He could have said all was well, or given some brazen answers about how he loves the city, etc.
The things he did say were things he had to.
I'm fine with it. He's not going to kibosh his objective of getting paid as you stated earlier.
For me, as long as his performances are reminiscent

He's deflecting and being withholding, rather than giving any kind of insight. What we learned is that he knows he's out of options and has to get on the field. We probably learned that he still wants the Colts to trade him, and that probably means he's hoping that another team makes a legitimate offer between now and the deadline.
I think he had to play up the "100% healthy" part to avoid giving the Colts reason to pursue a grievance. I was hoping he'd admit that this is about business, and he knows it's not fun, but he has to do what he has to do, but that probably wouldn't be smart for him to put on the record at this point.
I would feel a lot better if he said anything indicating that he intends to play out his contract. Maybe saying the contract is an offseason issue is the closest we'll get for now. Looking forward to watching the whole presser when it gets posted.
This is it. This nails it.
He had a losing hand and has done ALL he can. Now he has to play superbly and hope someone pays up, whether Indy or otherwise.
Your last bit is the key to fans feeling better but ask yourself, why would he do that? Why would he commit to playing out his contract? He wants to get paid.
The most important thing he said was he wants to bring a championship to the city. That says he'll give his all while he's here. Fans who want a stronger commitment need to ask themselves what they'd do in his shoes. That's as strong enough as he should give IMHO.
Loved the presser. Loved the honesty of it. None of that kumbaya stuff. He said what he had to and nothing more.

Exactly. This must be tough for a star athlete who probably hasn’t been told no since he was 15.
Nah, this aint it.
A player in a highly fungible position tried his best to get paid while playing a losing hand. That's more like it.
The bit you're talking of can be applied to every single player in the league if thats the route you're taking it, doesnt add up

I’ll honest, I don’t really like his answers. Maybe it’s just how his answers are presented in these snippets, but… something’s off.
He's giving the vibe of a guy who is going to play and play well because he has to.
That's the business, factual side.
The emotional side? Yeah, this isn't a guy who wants to play for the Colts. I dont think he believes the Colts have any interest in paying him what he thinks he's worth.
I'm totally fine with him keeping things a buck. He doesnt have to be a fan fave, just has to produce and have his teammates believe that. The fans, owner, media, yeah all that doesnt matter to him. The guy is about his money. And if he produces, the fans will put the heat on the front office/owner to pay him. Whether that's a good decision or not

No one will offer a first.
Yeah, so he'll be a Colt this season most likely. If it's not a 1st then there's probably another individual going to be involved along with a 2nd or 3rd.
The guy still wants to go elsewhere.
-
He's 100% healthy, and treating this like a business. Fair enough. Now he has till the trade window to showcase his goods.
If someone offers a 1st, he's probably going to be traded.

JT is a mega fan. The number of wows he says watching AR reminds me of how he sounds watching Mahomes.
This QB has under 20 games professionally and collegiate right?
May the gods of football grant this guy health, i think Morocco Brown may have been right - he's a purple spotted unicorn. If this coaching crew can focus on teaching him.....watch. out.

Tee Higgins maybe worth it for this team to pay out. I am always skeptical of number 2 who plays behind a true number 1 such as Chase. How much of their success is because the number one corner is always playing Chase? That being said, Higgins flourished when Chase was hurt. It may finally be time for Ballard to pull out the check book. This team has not drafted any wrs in Ballard's era worth talking about. Its time to go big game hunting. If you cannot draft and/or develop them, then you guy buy yourself one.
If Pittman is not considered a true #1 then Higgins sure isn't the level of ceiling lifter that'll do it.
It'd have to be a truly elite guy.

I think this is key,
Joe Burrow got Chase and it increased his completion by 5% the following year
Josh Allen got Diggs and that year his completion increased by 10.4%
Just by giving him a player that can consistently get open and make plays will help his development and help other WRs get open.
Hurts jumped with AJ Brown too IIRC

Stroud will be top level. You could probably name a dozen QBs who were top 10 picks from recent years that Stroud already looks better than, like at any point in their careers.
Richardson still has a lot of work to do to become a top level QB, but everyone knew that going in. So far, so good.
It's way too early to say anything definitive about Young.
This summarizes it all excellently after the first quarter of the season.
Frank Reich needs to be very careful is all i'll add to this

Well deserved I think. He's done well with a team that's trying to make something from nothing.
Yup. Very glad for him, that S2 deal just before the draft was some lowdown stuff, the guy can play.

I’ll always be in the camp that players should honor their contract. He should have been a team player and balled out this year….show that he deserves another huge contract. So yeah …as talented as he is…He doesn’t want to be here and I dont want the guy on the team.
I thought I was always camp pay-the-player until this JT deal. I think Irsay should have kept his mouth closed, and I also think JT is carrying a cross for all running backs and he's not fit to carry that cross and has overplayed his hand (which was a slim one to begin with)

I’m not gonna gloat just yet. Frank does have a rookie QB, and the one that I felt had the highest likelihood to bust out going into the draft. Add in the amount of capital the panthers gave up for him and it’s gonna be arguably the biggest dumpster fire of a bust we’ve ever seen. Assuming Young and Reich don’t turn it around.
I find it rather interesting that the same thing many in here complained about is the same thing the Panthers fans are complaining about right now. Reich and his play calling
To be fair, when a team loses, that's usually the complaint fans have. Even Belichick teams not immune to that pleasure of service.
Steichen is good though, versatile and willing to bend where Frank was more wed to certain principles. Love what i see so far and honestly believe this match of HC and QB will bring the Colts success

I think the issue was pretty clear and while it's not surprising that we (fans) expected more after the long dance, I think it's easier to understand how/why the conference went that way once you accept that nothing has changed.
What lies exactly are you referring to? The major card he held back was answering the question about how long he's been healthy. That answer he gave about he and James healing differently was certainly off. He almost tripped there. Yes, he went off on tangents whenever he could but I thought if he spoke his mind, it'd have been a total mess.
Ultimately, the player showed up because he had to. He gave answers to questions asked (not the answers fans want to hear) and deflected all the serious ones about a situation that's still ongoing. Maybe it'd have been better if he said he was there so he wouldn't get fined
That conference went precisely how I expected it to because the player's demands have NOT changed.
As a fan, all I can sanely care about is that he plays well in whatever time he has left wearing these colors.
What did we all expect?
*that wasnt close to the lies i listen to from politicians on FOX and CNN daily. He wasnt anywhere near as smooth and the fact that everyone knows he was deflecting tells you that...politicians lie and you think they love you. JT didnt do that.
