Colts select QB Anthony Richardson Florida (merge)

[Believe blue1306]

I love this. Regardless of how he does at least we'll be exciting to watch again. Last year was brutal to watch. 

[RollerColt]

He may fail. He may not pan out. But man oh man is his ceiling high. We develop him the right way and give him the tools to succeed and he might bring us back to contention. 

[jshipp23]

Thank God!!!! Anything is possible now folks..

[Aces101]

Levis now realizes he was everyone’s smokescreen and #4 QB = priceless

Levis? He’s no game changing QB 

Maybe they will trade for Lamar Jackson now. Lol

I think Ballard may be eyeing a trade down though in the 2nd with that early pick 

 

 Astute 

[TrueBlue12]

I'm happy. IMHO he has the greatest upside of any of the 4 or 5. He could also be a bust. But I have thought all along he would be worth the risk. I also think he will be entertaining to watch. Potential is French for hasn't done it yet. He has the most potential.

[CoachLite]

No risk-it, no biscuit. Richardson was my choice here.

Yes Ballard! Got the balls to take a chance to be great, lets see!!

I said before that we have played safe for too long, and it is time to take a chance and they did.

So who then at 4? Carter?

I would have gone Levis over Richardson but it’s over they took Richardson so I hope he pans out.

[JColts72]

Guess Manning opinion to get Levis did not matter to Jim.

[colts89]

Let's * go!!!

[Dingus McGirt]

Well, at least he reads pro defenses better than Manning.  

[presto123]

Who starts the season at QB for the Colts? Your guess?

[NJFanatic]

We got the best athlete, hopefully Steichen can turn him into a QB. Not my first choice, but I’ll support it

Not AR this year; maybe when Colts are 0 and 8.

Lol , I see a lamar Jackson type path for him 

I hope he does turn out the way.  He’s a Colt now so I want him to work out here.

Because he said accuracy is the biggest trait he looks for and the fans ate it up

 

It’s lying season and he chose to lie according to some while Ballard chose to dance. Much Ado about nothing, in my opinion.

 

 

He said he values accuracy and that is not lying. In the back of his mind he knows he can correct it and make him a way more accurate qb. Therefore.....

A first for him, but desperate times call for desperate measures. This pick will determine Ballard's fate. Lets hope Richardson develops into something.

[Patrick Miller]

I bet Steichen had major input/say on this pick. Hopefully he can work with him to get him where he needs to be.

Minshew without question. Richardson is going to be a project.

Ballard said he always laughs at all the rumors

Yep I am not a fan of this pick but it’s done now he’s here now so I want him to be successful.

Ballard might be the most transparent GM in the league. He basically telegraphed this pick for two months, and we could have just believed in what he was saying and figured this out.

 You are weirding out.

YOU are saying Steichen should have made us take Hooker because of single trait.

  How Chloeish! Sad.

Yep. Said months ago he knew his QB would be there at 4.

Yeah usually when you break from your good habits, it blows up. Should have traded back
