I’m sure most of the players on his team would rather have a shot at the playoffs. honestly, I’d rather develop a potential future franchise qb than to potentially make the playoffs with a roster that is not going to make it to the SB. Playing Flacco would be what we’ve done for the past almost 10 years with the “one qb away mentality”. And I think we can all agree this team is not one qb away. look, every nfl team goes through this. We just so happen to have a good enough roster to where we can trot our young developing qb out there. I mean, we could be the patriots or panthers and force ourselves to play a vet because the supporting talent is THAT bad. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belichick used to carve up Brady in film study. If it’s good enough for TB, it’s good enough for AR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What FA qb could we sign and would we have the money and team to entice him to come here? 4. What QB could we trade for and can we afford the capital we’d have to give up to acquire said qb?

compuls1v3 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago 3 hours ago, ColtAndOrioles said: I totally disagree. SS has to tell him before the kickoff that if he catches the ball in the EZ, to run it out just to kill the 2 minute warning. I mean this is basic coaching 101. SS just seems like he is not very smart imo. I also don't feel as if he holds people accountable, similar to Reich. He takes JT out for the entire 4th Q last week for example, the Colts best players. Beyond stupid. And his obsession with running the ball up the middle....very Reich like....and not getting JT into open space is mind bottling. I agree SS should know this, but should not the ST coach be saying this?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flacco would win us a few more games, maybe even reach the wildcard… but he won’t be enough for this team to be considered a Super Bowl contender.

Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Hopefully Paye is alright. It was a quad. I don’t look for him to play next week either the way he had to be helped off the field.

Happy2BeHere Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Putting Flacco at QB doesn’t solve the issue of enticing vets to sign with this team…and it certainly doesn’t change the defensive philosophy by Bradley in any way shape or form…putting Flacco in accomplishes nothing for the future…absolutely bupkus.

In all seriousness, what happened with Flacco last year was more of the exception and not the norm. To be honest, if Minshew was still on our sidelines I’d think there would be vastly more calls for him to be the starter compared to Flacco.

Happy2BeHere Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Seriously…people here are genuinely and actively hoping for Richardson to be a total bust and failure just for the sake of being able to gloat “I told you so”…too many fickle “fans” here if you can actually call them that. Its like people rooting for their president of the USA they didn’t pick to fail miserably and cause severe setbacks and damage just for the sake of saying “I told you so”. I don’t know about you folks but I don’t cheer and encourage that the Colts do bad just for the sake of “change”…neither do I advocate a sitting or potential president falter despite not agreeing to their methods. Sit back and relax…football is fun. We aren’t the best, no reasonable Colts fan should have expected us to be the best, and no reasonable colts fan should want failure just because you don’t agree with how things are run. be happy folks! 😊 📣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it would be a corner or safety that high. Could they take a WR with Pierce playing this well. He will be a FA after next season. Maybe dline with Dayo being a FA. A DT maybe as Buckner gets older and that is a weak spot. I don’t think they will be that bad though. They will probably draft outside the top ten.

GoColts8818 Posted 42 minutes ago Author Share Posted 42 minutes ago 7 hours ago, ShuteAt168 said: Steichen’s halftime comment that AR’s brutal interception in the end zone was his fault because of the play call was a terrible look. It’s OK to say AR made a bad decision. He’s a man, the face of the franchise — I’d hope he can take some criticism. If the Colts baby AR like this behind the scenes, it’s a concern. 1. That’s what coaches/leaders do they take the heat for others. I am sure had they interviewed AR he would have taken the blame too. 2. It was a bad play call it was discussed in the game time thread.

Id sure like that topic to fizzle away sooner than later… 😔 As said in the game thread play Flacco serves no purpose. He’s a band aide like Minshew was last year and his ceiling is about the same. Flirting with the playoffs if he plays like he did last year (let’s not forget he looked awful the past few years before that) but he’s not going to win you a Super Bowl. He’s not the long term answer either. He’s the answer at most for a year or two IF he plays like he did last year and then you have to make a decision on Richardson’s long term future without really knowing if he’s the answer or not. Then if you don’t think he is the answer you are not in position to get one. You have to play Richardson to find out if he’s the guy or not, and no one knows if he is or not after just seven games. Even the Panthers gave Young more than twice that many games and a lot of people think they are giving up on Young quickly. AR is clearly struggling right now. He’s thinking way too much, you could see that on the late throw to AD first you could see him thinking about running and then go no I should pass which caused it to be late and then he floated it rather than driving it let the safety close and break it up. I do think Shane could help him if he started calling plays for what AR is right now rather than what they want him to be. Quick passes to help him build confidence with deep shots mixed in. You also have to embrace he’s a running QB. The last TD drive when he had the big run he had the swagger we saw last year for the first time. It looked like the Texans game last year. Hopefully confidence from that can spread to his passing game. If the Colts wanted a drop back passer they should have drafted Levis. They didn’t so they need to embrace that AR is at his best when he’s on the move. I went on the record draft night saying I didn’t like the pick but I want Richardson to succeed because that means the Colts have their guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats not something you can teach/correct from an outside source. Maybe if once the game slows down he can settle down but thats concerning. The great QB's have ice in their veins, can't teach it Like I said in another post, happy feet. It’ll slow down for him and that will help with the accuracy and i definitely think that can be taught or learned from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most rookies say it takes 3/4 of a season at least for the game to slow down for them. Heck Flacco recently told kravtiz it took 20 games for him to feel comfortable out there.

All these guys are men but they still watch film and get corrected. Belichick used to carve up Brady in film study. If it’s good enough for TB, it’s good enough for AR. He saw Pittman wide open, but he didnt set his feet and rushed the throw, sailing it over his head. The thing that gives me hope with Anthony is that he typically makes good reads. He made the right read on that play. Thats not his issue. His issue is he relies too much on his physical gifts and gets lazy with his feet. He also doesnt know when to use touch on his throw and his throw to JT was an example of that. He threw that ball on a line, but if he put a little air under it, JT runs under it amd its likely a big gainer. This is what concerns me most with him. He can fix his footwork, but its gonna be much harder for him to fix that. But hes so raw and inexperienced I wouldnt count him out, yet. The kid needs time. They drafted him knowing he needed time, and hes gonna get it. It doesnt matter if we win 4 games this year he will be back next year. If he fails then, they might go hard after Arch Manning. But I bet they do nothing until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
