That's how I felt in early 2022. Most of that went away last season, but that feeling is coming back. -
Jordan Love is a test case that gives me hope. (I do not mean to compare Love to Richardson, so I hope everyone understands that it's unnecessary to explain all the ways in which Love and Richardson are different...) Love was a raw prospect, he sat behind Rodgers for three years, and in the rare situations when he played, he looked like a raw prospect who needed a lot of development. When he was finally the starter, he still struggled in a lot of ways, including with consistency from play to play, not to mention week to week. It wasn't until the second half of the season that it looked like the light really came on for him. No doubt Love benefited in probably unmeasurable ways from sitting behind Rodgers, but my main takeaway is that young QBs have to play and work through the mistakes to really get better. This is not a new idea or a brilliant discovery, it's just reinforcing what we already know. Richardson has started six games. In between, he suffered a pretty serious injury. He's young, and didn't have a lot of experience in college. He has a lot of things to work through. I don't know for sure what's a realistic time frame for his development, but it's much longer than six games.

The head coach said on Sunday that Bryce remains the starting QB. All of a sudden that changed the day after. I believe the owner is responsible for that. I would hate being the head coach there. Vikes fans feel bad for Adam Thielen. -
Yes, but lets get some generalizations out of the way. Somewhere on this board, I laid out the 4Q play calls. JT was on the first drive of the 4Q, and contributed a lot. This was the drive that ended with that stupid option play to Sermon If you want to ask why was Sermon in there and not JT....maybe rotation? Maybe JT was winded after the 29 yard run and the ensuing 1 yard stuff? IDK, but we can all agree that the play call there was dumb and the fact that it went to Sermon and not JT...on an outside run.... is really not the issue. Then Gay missed a makeable 50 yard FG. GB drained 3.5 minutes of clock and scored a FG AR throws a first down 30 yard pass, then another pass on first down, incomplete, then the pick across the middle on 2nd and 10. 3 passes. 1 great, one pick. Are we going to be concerned where JT is on this series? GB drains 6 minutes off the 4Q clock and scores a FG. So the generalizations of "JT not being on the field in the 4Q" is really about him not being on the field with about 4 minutes left down by 13 points, or 2 TDs. So if we are going to criticize Shane, lets at least understand the game situation first. So why do Colts coaches take JT off of the field in obvious passing situations (last regime kinda did the same thing)? IDK. I don't think its because they want to give the backup some PT rotation, despite what he said. It seems more like there is something they don't like about JT in those situations, but don't really want to say it publicly. I'm with you, and everybody. I'd just as soon have JT on the field than our bad backups, but I'm not going to pretend that that coaching decision cost us a significant chance at winning the game. -
That was good. Sam did it too to give us a 9 point lead with 3 minutes left. It was a thing of beauty.
