Richardson named starter for the season

Took Richardson in a lot of bestball leagues. Wasn't 100% sure he'd start, so this is going to be a lot of fun. I get to watch him play for the Colts, and he can make me money. Lot invested in this kid. Going to be the best year since 2018 IMO when there was still hope with Luck.

He's still sushi-raw.  He's still a young QB with a lot to learn.  He's still gonna make rookie mistakes.  But he showed he's not shell-shocked by the NFL.  He's not overwhelmed.  Give him as much work as he can handle.

His first game is going to be a true adventure.  Jags will throw things at him he's never seen before.  How he reacts and adjusts will be very telling, but he has to go through this evolution.  Judging by his first pre-season game he may be just fine.  We shall see.  Buckle ups, kids this could be fun!

I really don’t want to after the Taylor fiasco, but damnit, I’m buying this man’s jersey. 

Have a luck, brissett and Pittman  jersey. Debating  between  Richardson  and downs to add to collection

I bet the jags forum  is celebrating atleast until they see how good he  will turn out.

I have $170 worth of bestballs on fanduel and draftkings currently. Doing a $25 ESPN league in less than two weeks.

 

I'll probably spend $250 on yearly fantasy stuff and set aside another $250 as a bankroll to play daily fantasy for the year.

Probably  should have waited  to name him starter so that the jags had to prepare for both

That's a two sided coin... because you have to prepare for that game too and the best way to prepare is to give uninterrupted time to your starting QB with the first team offense.

Not to mention, this let's the team know who the unquestioned leader is, and he knows it too....  that's important, but often overlooked.  Having unified direction and a focal point is not a small thing.  Just look at last year....

Yeah, fans are going to have to be patient.

Minshew is awesome teammate! I wouldn't mind him being our backup for the foreseeable future. If he would want that job.

 

I wouldn't  mind keeping  minshew around. He can win a game in a pinch and he is better than Sam.

    • I guess the whole question is the merits of the report. You report on his diabetes with tons of guesses and speculations and WITHOUT taking the side of the person who's been affected here and who's living and dealing with that condition. You report on the player being uncoachable WITHOUT taking the opinion of his coaches about being coachable or not(and BTW from what I've heard both from Colts and Texas coaches, this is resoundingly NOT TRUE). You report about him being immature and honestly, everything I've seen on the surface suggests the opposite. You report about his combine performance by giving it a pretty harsh reading(the video is in this thread and the account of what happened by McGinn is in this thread... People can actually go and look at what happened and make their own mind about whether the characterization of that workout was fair or not. I will just say you can represent the player stumbling in a drill and going again in various different ways and McGinn chose a specific way to represent it. It was the most negative way you could choose).    You know I had my own reservations about that outburst by Ballard at the presser, but the more I'm learning about Mitchell the more I actually believe in what Ballard was saying and the less merit those reports have in my mind. Maybe I have my own unconscious biases too, now that I have vested interest in Mitchell actually being good for us. I don't know     I guess ultimately none of it matters. AD's success or failure won't depend on some pre-draft reports... it will depend on how he handles himself from now on, how hard he works, his drive to be great and our staff's ability to get the best of him. 
    • Hmmm.   ”Healthy excuses will be hard to come by.”    Really?   Richardson, who had less than a thousand snaps in college, then had roughly 200 snaps his rookie year.  There’s one.   And Houston has Stroud who had a great rookie year.  Aren’t most media predicting Houston and JVille ahead of Indy this year?  That’s two without any trouble.     I just think insisting on a division title because a fan thinks it’s time doesn’t stand up to much scrutiny.   Sorry, just my two cents…. And often not worth that much.   
    • For me absolutely it does. If Richardson stays healthy excuses will be hard to come up with. As positive as I am with Ballard at some point we have to start winning. He bet on himself by bringing in his own home grown talent this year, what he does at safety in the coming month and a half has me worried as well. We were so close to winning the division last year with a back up QB that my expectation is winning the AFC south this year.    If they make it into the wild card game and lose then the seat is just as hot for me. If they advance further and make a Cinderella run then I’m fully back on board.
    • 3 straight losses for the Reds. They have their moments where they play well. But it’s time to be real. They aren’t a playoff team and will never be as long as the Castillinis own them and David Bell is manager.    De La Cruz is fun, but his career will be wasted on this team. 
    • Am I reading this correct?   You think Ballard’s seat gets hot if the Colts don't win the AFC South?  Really?   So if the Colts don’t win the south but make the playoffs Ballard’s seat still gets hot?    Just making sure I understand your viewpoint.
