By throwing BBZ · Posted
The kid chose not to slide to protect himself and was in a really awkward position when he did get a good NFL wallop. It’s absolutely brainless to do that after getting knocked out of games and the season. Maybe he needs to sit on the bench for another season. Let him play play play, what, for another game or two until the next stupid injury? He still has a lot to learn and it looks like to me we are rushing an inexperienced kid into something he isn't quite prepared for. AR seems humble, maybe a bit more humility regarding a possible Superman complex would serve him and the Colts very well long term. What AR IS in years 4 and beyond is what Wise Colts fans should be concerned about. And yes, like me, many here are getting old enough we Want It Now! It's an unreasonable expectation for a kid that can't throw an out that isn't a mile high, and hasn't the sense of when and how to protect himself. -

I don’t listen to games anymore because I don’t work on Sundays anymore. But man sometimes listening to the game is better than watching it. Kinda miss Matt Taylor getting all pumped.. I-N-D-Y lol -
Absolutely zero chance a 40 year old Flacco starts unless Richardson is too hurt to go. Top 5 pick, 22 year old QB who needs reps more than any player in the league vs a 40 year old that has zero chance of being in our plans beyond this year The people that want Flacco to start are way too short sighted of what the Colts are trying to accomplish here. They really don't care about this season if it means that by WEEK 17 they are sure Anthony is the guy and he has improved substantially. What I don't think they anticipated is the fact that Anthony could be injury prone and has a low pain threshold. I don't think he is the unluckiest QB to ever play. But I do think he is one of the youngest. Practically nobody on the planet (Even at 6'5 255) is mature enough to take NFL physical punishment at the age of 21 years old IF AT ALL. Only time in the league will prove that. I don't think he had any benefit in the offseason to prepare his body for this type of punishment- I think his offseason work was mainly to rehab his shoulder and his throwing mechanics. Perhaps jacking AR up even more than he naturally is might be the play here? Or the opposite- focus on pliability and durability ALA Brady in his late career. Either way, we will need to spend next offseason addressing this somehow to rule out weather or not its durability. In the meantime, our QB is going to have to learn and learn quick to suck it up and grind through the bumps and bruises. Given his career choice, he signed on for 15 year of it. Given his size, he should be able to handle it. Given his game experience- it was an absolute coin flip weather he could handle it. -

Never did I suggest that AR wasn’t the starter. AR has looked got at times but his type of play is hazardous to himself. Till he stays on the field, Flacco is the guy. -
IMO, if AR is injured enough that he can't run effectively, he's just a pocket passer. At this stage of his career, I believe Flacco is a better pocket passer than AR. If he can run effectively then he should start, if he can't, Flacco should start.
