Richardson to IR

[Old Colt]

OK, AR is going to IR, i think is will be out until after the Bye, maybe travel with team to England, but not dress.

 

How will we do looking at the schedule....  3 - 2?

Hoping for 4-1, satisfied with 3-2.  Winning at JAX this Sunday would really be a boost.  Gotta keep the G-Man healthy for any chance.

 

[Nate!]

1-3 looks like most likely outcome.  2-2 or 0-4 also possible.  Imagine will be underdogs in the next four games

[2006Coltsbestever]

2-2 is my prediction looking at the schedule. If we beat the Jags it will be 3-1.

[Indianapolis-Colts-Fan]

I don’t think we have seen a significant change in the performance of the team with either QB in. While AR is more exciting he’s also proven nothing in his ability to win games. Could be a blessing in disguise for him to see just how careful he needs to be when he’s out there as well as putting more focus on his conditioning program. 
 

we will be fine with Minshew at the helm.

We play the Patriots in that 5th game and they stink so the schedule is favorable with the Panthers and Pats on it.

I think AR returns after the bye.  If both the Colts and Jags are 6-4 after our bye week, then we'll actually be in decent shape for the stretch run as long as we beat the Jags this Sunday.

[Hammer]

I wouldn't be surprised if they end up doing surgery and he'll be done for the year.

Not out of the realm of possibility. Here is to hoping he comes back after the bye week.

Saints and Browns will be difficult to beat. But Pats and Panthers definitely beatable. Jaguars will be the tie breaker to see if we will be 3-2 before the bye week or 2-3, IMO.

Worst case scenario I think we will be 5-5. Then AR returns after the Bye. Mustache is good for at least 2 wins if not 3. Lets say we are 5-5, we can still make the playoffs at that point.

Yes, I agree.

[NJFanatic]

 3 wins would nice, Jax, Carolina, NE that would keep us in the hunt for sure.

Yeah because that Jax game is enormous regarding tiebreakers and the division. If we go 3-2 over the next 5 with a win over the Jags, I will take it.

[Nate!]

Optimism quite high here.  I just don’t see it.

You'll fit right in!

[IanColts22]

I think the Colts are just trying to avoid surgery and I think AR will likely need surgery damn on his throwing shoulder too.  I don't think AR will come back from this just pure bad luck for AR.

It is probably because you don't think Mustache is any good. From what I have seen this year, he looks good to me. We also could possibly have a lethal run game now and just pound it down teams throats. Our D.Line is no slouch either + I think our coach is solid good.

I agree with you.  I think Minshew can become a franchise QB.  I have faith in him hopefully he is the next brock purdy

Sometimes I just wish instead of sliding or running out of bounds, just take the hit like you are used to, and the body will not tense up because it is a feeling you are used to, without hesitation.

I am not sure he will ever be that or even be great but he has played good football. He fits our system.

I agree with you.  I think Minshew can become a franchise QB.  I have faith in him hopefully he is the next brock purdy.  But if Minshew isn't an elite QB that the colts can build around then let's hope colts realize it sooner then later to start tanking the season to get a top 5 pick again 

[Smonroe]

To me, the rest of the win/loss record isn't as meaningful as finding out if AR is the guy.

 

If he comes back and gets injured again, they'll have to have that conversation.

Out of what I have seen from AR in the 4 games he played in, he looks legit. To me I still want to win too. Just sick of losing the last 2 years and not making the playoffs. This mantra of 'lets wait until next year when winning matters' is getting thin with me. Then again, I believe in our roster more than most. I want to see how we play against the Jags. If we beat them, then we can win the division. 

[BigQ]

[IanColts22]

Im not rooting against AR but I honestly can see Minshew taking this opportunity to let the world see what he is capable of.  Let's hope we have a 49ers Purdy/Lance situation on our hands.  But it'll be Minshew/AR

[JMichael557]

Minshew has tried being a full-time starter before and he has failed.

[richard pallo]

We couldn’t be in better hands with Minshew.  He knows the offense backwards and forwards.  He already has moved the offense very effectively and efficiently.  No reason to think it won’t continue especially with the OL playing lights out and Taylor returning.  I think the offense will operate better actually.  He can go through all the progressions if needed.  AR was pretty much limited to two.  I think we have a great chance to win all five actually.  I’ll say 5-0.  4-1 worse case.

So did Jim Harbaugh but then he came here, and we were 1 play away from going to the SB with him being spectacular at times. Weird things happen in football. I never dismiss anything unless it is obvious, = having a QB that stinks like an Art Schlichter, Mike Pagel, Curtis Painter.

Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield look pretty good too.

Man he sucked! I remember when we pulled Peyton out being 14-0 and he came in and couldn't even handle a snap. Dude's passes were hitting the ground a foot in front of WR's.

Geno is a great example, everyone thought he was done. He looks good now. Right coach, right system.

[LJpalmbeacher2]

With the colts luck, I won't be surprised if he gets surgery and he's lost for the season. I'm not a doctor so maybe surgery is a better at it healing /fixing it in the long run? ......I don't know but I do know it SUCKS!!! 

Took.the wind out of a hopeful season if he doesn't come back this year and was like a blow to the gut. I know some really like Minshew and feel he's capable....and he is capable of running the offense.......But he's no AR5 nor does he get me as excited as I was when we drafted AR5. 

I just hope long term it doesn't turn into another Luck/Bert Jones saga. Hoping he comes back sooner than later with no complications and good luck to Minshew.

The excitement is gone so lets win ugly and pee off the league 

[Stephen]

For minshew to succeed  he needs no turnovers and about two tds a game along with good run support and the defense  to show up each game.

I think we lose to saints. We may be able to beat browns as they don't have chubb and will be coming off physical  49ers match up
