I've been a Strachan supporter, I think he has great potential if he can get the reps. He is just built like Pittman and Pierce and and has a tough road to a roster spot. Downs is doing great.

It’s interesting Richardson isn’t throwing  interceptions. He seems to be making good decisions.

@Restinpeacesweetchloe Thank you for making my day go by faster - you are awesome!

Minshew can be deceptively quick. He killed us a few times as a rookie. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

5-12 isn’t very good.

Thursday I think practice is at 9. So I will miss Thursday. I will post the thread but I am going to miss most of it.

No, not good at all. But, it's all part of the process. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I will give him the benefit of the doubt today since he is coming off that procedure.

I am surprsied he is even out there after nose surgery.

[cjwhiskers]

I think ARs as advertised so far. Some really awesome flashes of potential but consistency isn’t there yet. This is all good so far, we know he will take some time on the passing front. I think he’s probably actually doing better than expectations overall, at least those who had realistic ones. 
 

He will shine brighter when he has room to be creative and take off. I’m betting we see some lightning during preseason. 

[Nickster]

He’s going to struggle with accuracy all year.  He’s inaccurate.

 

It’s only going to be a problem if there isn’t noticeable improvement throughout the year.

 

The kid almost certainly isn’t ready to be a quality NFL starter yet.

[csmopar]

I’m not worried, he had a great day Saturday and he’s gonna have ups and downs.

To your last sentence, don't be that guy Nick  . After 1 day of camp after nose surgery, really?? Lets see how the pre-season plays out. He really shouldn't even be out there, he is showing toughness just by participating today.

 

I have no clue nor do any of us as to how good AR will be this year. I just hope he doesn't get trashed in here if he throws a few INT's to start the season. It is expected actually.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

This was also richstddond first day of padded practice so hopefully he will keep getting better.

To be fair CJ stroud is struggling also. He had had a few int the last couple days. It’s just rookie growing pains.

Bestie almost no one including I would guess everyone in the Colts org thinks this kid is ready to be a quality NFL starter right away.  Wouldn’t matter if he was 20 for 20 today.

 

AR is currently and has been inaccurate.

 

Has nothing to do with his nose. 
 

reread my post unemotionally.

I meant no offense my friend, I was just saying nobody knows how good AR will be was my point. I want to see him play in pre-season to really get a great look at him.

You qualified it with "quality", and I don't think anyone can argue with that right now.

 

But I think, as others have said, AR has to show the Colts why he shouldn't start. 

 

In other words, they know he's not going to be anywhere near perfect, but they're willing to live with that if he continues to show improvement.  You only get better by playing.

No offense taken friend.  Just talking ball.

 

Sure no one knows how he will play in a theoretical sense.  
 

That said the entire history of the NFL would suggest that he and any QB isn’t ready to be a quality starter right away.  It has only been tried a few times anyway Bestie, and until 3 or so seasons ago you could count the attempts on your fingers and toes.

 

Anthony is also unusual in that he’s a high draft pick with almost no real success in college.  This isn’t controversial buddy.

Rest in peace is fast lol

Yep and the point of the post is that no one needs worry about his inevitable inaccuracy until January if no noticeable improvement is made.

Gosh by the end of the week we will already be halfway done with training camp.

I think Minshew is a great backup and he is guy we joke about out of fun with the Stache and hair, etc. but I think AR will still start on opening day if he looks great in pre-season. Only way he gets better is actual regular season reps. If we don't think he is ready for any reason than I am ok with Minshew starting the first couple of games. Makes sense. I have been always on the thought of starting any QB that gets drafted in the top 5. I get AR isn't Manning or Luck where he has a lot of college experience but if he doesn't play, how can he get better? He will either be good or be a bust regardless of when we play him.

This sounds like they are building an offense for certain someone in specific and they are drilling the whole team into that offense. Good job Steichen...

Broken arm in training camp and possibly playing by week 1? That's crazy.

I would think the latest we have AR start would be week 6 against the Jags. But who knows. Minshew could play out of his mind and have the team rolling for this season. At that point just ride the hot hand and switch over later or even next season.

They said 4-6 weeks.

I agree with this line of reasoning.  I’ve had him pegged for a Week 5 start against the Titans.  Takes away the pressure of the opener being arguably the most important game of the season - holding serve vs. JAX.  Plus, Minshew gets 4 games to demonstrate to AR how to prepare, implement a game plan, and make in-game adjustments…

Righto they did. Just amazing the medical capabilities we have for players these days. My brother's arm took over 2 1/2 months to heal.

Depends on the type of break. Could be a hairline fracture.

This I disagree with absolutely.

 

if playing we’re the only way to get better there’d be no such thing as practice.

 

Are you AI?
