I'd like AR to get to 20 completions in a game, with 0 Ints and a TD.  That would be progress.  He's not there yet.

That’s hilarious. 

[Chrisaaron1023]

Just not even excited on offense anymore.. just anxious 

[BlackTiger]

I'm worried about being committed to him for the next few years.  

 

Just give him time... as we lose and eventually move on

Probably not but Flacco is not a long term answer this has been explained to you.  You are just ignoring it because you don’t like it.  He’s a band aide just like Minshew last year.  This team has married itself to Richardson so they have to find out if he’s the guy or not and no seven games is not enough to answer that question.  Again even the Panthers gave Young more than double that.

Flaco isn’t the long-term answer but he is the answer this season. Richardson is horrible with his accuracy. Missing shots that a high school quarterback could make. I don’t understand why so many of you are willing to throw the season away when it’s apparent Richardson isn’t the answer.

I mean, AR missed 13 games due to injury. The opportunity to play was there. He decided to play hero ball and get himself hurt. 

 

Let's not act like AR isn't the victim of his own ineptitude here. 

“Hero ball” on a designed run play. Did you even watch that game last year?

Yes what lmao?! Rookie QBs win all the time 😂

Sorry you're expectations were too high I guess. Still a you-problem though.

A big guy feel on him on a designed run that’s not playing hero ball.  Just stop.

[CardiacColts]

People need to take a breath. Luck had plenty of wth throws his first couple years. The ceiling and the ability to stay resilient at the end of the game matter. AR needs to address the mechanics and the overthrows. But the guy is a rookie. We need to calm down. This isn’t our Superbowl season; however, if they can develop him and see some progress, he has all the intangibles. Let him take his lumps.

And still lost, by a lot. In contrast, we’re winning today.

Against one of the more inept teams in the league. Excuse me for not taking the moral victory on that one

He's not a rookie. 

He technically  is a rookie as he got hurt early in rookie season  had to half season ending surgery  and work all off-season to get back to where he was.

Did you expect that from a rookie QB? That's on you then...

Even Joe Burrow, who was awesome as a rookie, had a losing season

And that's completely fair. But let AR learn the NFL game and it's pace before we try and make him the next Manning.

Wasn't comparing him to Manning. The comparison was about giving them both the full year. Let it ride and throw in all your chips. I just hope they don't bench him and I don't think Steich will.  I believe the team will support him through all of this.

[NFLfan]

Texans are now losing by three scores. 21-0 Vikings, 10:22 in the third quarter. Still lots of time.

 

Titans still losing to the Packers.

 

Jags play the Bills tonight.

[Happy2BeHere]

lol back to back false starts

If you don’t like wins, I don’t know what to tell you man. I’d rather beat an inept team than lose to a team in the playoffs any day of the week because one is winning and the other is losing

They aren’t playing for just this season.  At some point Richardson has to play to learn,  there are going to be learning pains along the way.  If you don’t want to deal with that go cheer for the Chiefs.

[Old Man and the COLTS]

Two nice short passes

if we had a good team I would agree with you .  the problem is ballard's roster stinks so we have no chance even with a upgrade at QB

Lol at home 😂

Again refusing to run Taylor.

[Patrick Miller]

There ya go ar.  Dink and dunk my friend

Yes. I did. The dude finished what, one of the games he started last year? 

 

Durability is as much of an indicator as anything else.

That makes zero sense and is nowhere near what I said. If you can’t make a coherent point, please don’t make things up.

That’s completely different from playing “hero” ball.

[Patrick Miller]

Ah another 3rd down over throw

[Happy2BeHere]

Smh, another easy completion missed

[Colts1324]

Was that a drop or overthrow?

[Patrick Miller]

What a brutal game with terrible quarterback player on both sides.

[compuls1v3]

was that pass to JT an over throw?

I did make a point. Even if Joe Flacco wasn’t as bad in tha playoff game, they still lost. That’s what Flacco would do for us this year if we made the playoffs, we would lose, so what is the point of playing him? We need to be playing our young QB. That is the point.

[IndySouthsider]

So Anthony has so many limitations. I get it. 
 

So why does Shane continue to call pass plays he has zero ability to execute. He just cannot throw screen passes. Remove them from the playbook for Richardson

[John Waylon]

Just now, Patrick Miller said:

Yes, an overthrow that…

 

Hits the receiver in the hands. 🤔

 

Taylor has to haul that in, but I really don’t feel like we’re doing him any favors making him run around in the backfield prior to the snap.

Yep.

Looked like it was a little bit in front, but you’d like to see JT catch that still

I’ve never argued against it. But that doesn’t mean I’m not allowed to point out awful play.

I never saw a QB over throw so many 3 yard passes in my life

Nay. I’m not a bandwagoner. I’m not gonna put on blinders though when we have terrible quarterback play and I feel that we’re going in the wrong direction.

You have quite literally been advocating for playing Flacco

[Solid84]

Cam Turner REALLY needs some alone time with AR to work on those mechnincs during each week.

It wasn't a good throw. A work in progress lol. I am actually enjoying this. I think we r going to look back some day and laugh at  how bad he was because he is going to be elite!!!!
