Problem is, nobody is agreeing with you and you are making a deal out of nothing. Funniest thing I have seen all morning. Oh well, have a nice day.
I do not need anyone to agree with me. Some people do. Have a nice day.

Yea, I don't buy that. If that was the case, I should go out and throw a football to see if i was born with accuracy. If learning footwork and mechanics doesn't really do anything then I may be a killer passer and didn't even know it.
Some people are born 6'4" and some are born 5'11"... Some are born able to run fast while others are not.
Just like some people are born with the hand-eye coordination... And the many other factors in the algorithm of being able to accurately throw a football.

Is it?
Last time I checked Ballard was the man in charge of making the decision. What if Shane still liked accuracy as a main trait but Chris overruled and got Anthony anyway?
Does that make Shane a liar?
Shane signed off on this too...
If he had any doubts then the Colts would not have drafted him. Obviously that was not the case.

Did you look at Josh Allen's completion percentage from college?
Look, no one knows how he's going to do in the pros yet. But you seem to be cherry picking items to put him down.
Whatever. I'm rooting for him.
I have deeply studied Josh Allen... Since he was at Wyoming. Know his history very well...
Josh Allen's issues with accuracy was multifold. For one, the offense he ran in college does not produce high completion rates.
This is not about Anthony Richardson. I have no issues with the Colts choosing him. I love the possibilities.
That does not erase that Steichen was not truthful.

But they claim to be journalists and try to make people believe they know stuff and then they spew crap with no evidence and people buy it up.
And with no accountability.

I'm sorry, but why is that a lie? I'm seriously asking.
If you asked him today, he'd probably say the same thing.
You can say they chose a QB that doesn't absolutely meet all his criteria. But you can't say he's a liar because they didn't pick one who didn't.
He lied.
That is not refutable.

I like you man but that is a bit too much, attacking the character of a coach.
Did it ever occur to you that he may have changed his mind after seeing the pros and weighing it against AR's cons? It is very much possible. So changing one's mind and re-evaluating things is not the same as lying, it is just changing one's mind. He didn't have to provide the details of any re-evaluations once he changed his mind, he was in no way obligated to telegraph the Colts' eventual intentions.
It could have been just these last 2 weeks they could have changed their minds too, you know what I am saying, because the Top 30 and private visits happen well after the combine. I think you should just let it go because your character assassination of Steichen will eventually lead to yours, as you can clearly see happening, fair or not. Just saying.
It is what it is, man.
I call balls and strikes. Even when it is not the popular stance to take.

Maybe he allows exceptions for QBs that he feels he can fix so that they become very accurate.
From some articles that I have read, his accuracy issues have a lot to do with his footwork...which according to the article is easier to fix than if the issue was the throwing motion.
He can somewhat improve his accuracy. But it’s a trait you’re either born with or not. -

The media lied to everyone as well. They all have been telling us that Levis was the 3rd best QB in this draft class. In fact, the odds had him the second most likely QB to be picked first (Young). Turns out that teams with QB needs still passed on him.
Most of the media lies about nearly everything.-

NAh you are just making a big deal over something trivial. I think you just didnt want AR and are mad we drafted him
Maybe Shane does value accuracy, someone ARs age can improve accuracy. Luck, Burrow and Levis all threw under 60% their first year. They think AR can improve, its not nearly the LYING you are making it out to be
I actually love that we got Richardson.
Try again.

Dear Lord! You are trolling now. Shane probably thinks he can help AR with his accuracy and he was the choice at QB with Young and Stroud being gone. Many people that say the 3pt shot in basketball is the most important part of the game are the same people say LeBron James is better than Larry Bird. They are all liars, I guess because Bird was a much better 3 pt shooter.
Bill Belichick was on record saying Mac Jones is our guy for the future after he drafted him and played well in year 1, then he said this off season he would consider trading him, enough said.
When someone doesn’t agree with you or the group consensus, it does not make them a troll.
If that’s what you think then no sense in responding to anything else you have to say.

I dont get why you are so hung up on this. Coaches say smoke screens to the media when it comes to taling about draft prospects. He probably does value accuracy but that doesnt mean they cant take a young guy that they think can improve his %
Way too worried about his "lying" to the media when it comes to talking about the draft
Smoke screens are one thing. Lying is a completely different issue. That’s a red flag character trait. -
Just now, Dingus McGirt said:
He lied? Saying accuracy is important, then taking a young QB who needs work on his accuracy, doesn't mean he lied. Accusing a person of being a liar is pretty strong stuff. Would you call him one to his face?
This is paraphrasing but very close…Reporter: What are the most important traits in a quarterback?
Steichen: He has to love football. Has to be obsessed. And he must be very accurate.

I think you are reading way too much into this. I would say that SS was NOT lying when he talked about what he wanted in a QB And he DOES want accuracy. The thing with AR15 is he sees something that outweighs that accuracy and believes he can fix that accuracy.
Besides What did you want him to say? He wasn't going to come right out and say he wanted AR15 so another team had a chance to try to get ahead of us?
I think it was brilliant
The was absolutely no reason for him to lie about it. It’s helped him zero.
I never expect any GM to tell us who they are taking. That’s absurd.
However, being honest is a very important trait.

You are way looking into this way too much. All coaches lie and some even cheat (Belichick), we made the right draft pick so why not be happy. Some in here are never happy but that is not my problem.
Find me one time Belichick has ever lied to the press. Good luck.
He often evades questions. He can be very condescending. A lot of the press do not like him as a person. But he doesn’t lie to them.

His deep ball accuracy is the best in the draft. He said he wants to throw to score. Would it not make sense to take the best deep ball thrower in the draft?
I disagree on his deep ball being accurate. Especially the most accurate in the draft class. -

Hes young and they think he can get better. Andrew Luck and Joe burrow threw under 60% their first year starting in college too.
Luck also lead the Colts to winning records and made the pro bowl throwing under 60% a couple years.
% is important but they didnt say its absolutely everything. AR had a weak supporting cast and coaching too
Completion percentage only somewhat tells the story. Some schemes promote a higher completion rate than others. His accuracy to put the football in the correct place, is the issue. -

That's true.
Did he really say that? Maybe he meant that in a particular context.
He said that, almost word for word.-

I liked your post for the first half of it. Glad the Colts did not take Levis. Very relieved. Richardson will be a boom or bust project but I have confidence in Steichen’s ability to get the best out of him. We will need patience though. I wouldn’t necessarily call Steichen a liar. They call this the lying season for a reason. Everyone is doing their best to conceal their true intentions.
Concealing and lying are 2 different things.I know all about lying season and it’s not in the context that you’re using it. Respected coaches and front office folks don’t lie on the record, during lying season. They have other ways to put out false information. That’s what lying season is.
Integrity is important to me.
I’m not impressed with Steichen, as a person. He might be a gifted football mind. But honesty is so important. Players will follow an honest coach. They won’t follow a dishonest coach.
Drafting Richardson was a good risk. His upside is tremendous. However, don’t say that accuracy is the most import trait a quarterback can have, and then draft a quarterback with a lot of accuracy issues.
The lie was either said to be misleading (if so then it was not necessary), or Steichen didn’t honestly answer the question. Either way, it’s a red flag, and it should concern everyone. It certainly concerns me.
I love the Colts, but I call balls and strikes. Some people on this board don’t like that. That’s not my problem.

I was hoping some miracle would happen back then and we’d get him in that draft. Oh well.
You had some great takes in this thread 3 years ago.

A lot of folks on this board were with me on the Herbert express. I get the Buckner deal, which we later pulled off. It made sense. But wow! How different would the Colts have been over the past few years, had we moved up and taken Herbert?
It took me forever to dig this thread back up. A lot of folks hit on Herbert too. I only remembered it being a few, but there were many with me on this. Some excellent back and forth’s in this old thread.

Look back. Frank's offense put up some really good stats the last 5 years with average talent.
Average talent?You mean top tier offensive linemen, and a top 3 running back? He put too much pressure on that offensive line. Only helped them with running backs picking up free rushers.
Frank’s playbook got stale. He was trying to run the old Marchibroda K-Gun. And didn’t evolve it to fit the team personnel. Frank and Chris Ballard were definitely not on the same page with building the team. We saw the fallout of it this season.
This offensive personnel is built for smashmouth football.
It’s time for a total rebuild.

So Ryan decided it’s time to make some tight window throws lol. Little to late.
To me, Ryan has looked more comfortable in the second half of this game than he has all year. -
Ryan has thrown a lot of 50/50 balls on this drive.

Thanks for making my point....
So a person is born with the ability to be 6'4" and strong, IF they follow the right diet. If they eat crap then bones might develop correctly and so on.... But mostly the height is something that can be only slightly improved with a proper diet.
The ability to accurately deliver a football is the same thing. It is hand-eye coordination, depth perception, and so many things. Some things are taught.. Like footwork. You cannot teach depth perception.
