I was talking the game over with my buddy who is a Bears fan and he brought up a good point.  When you are in high school your best athlete plays QB.  It’s not really until you get to college that they really start working on mechanics and footwork.  Richardson has had what 20 starts since high school?  He hasn’t learned it yet and is still leaning on his being an athlete to get by.  The problem is in the NFL he’s not that significantly better than the other athletes to get by on that alone.  So it’s going to take time for him to learn it which as much as Colts fans don’t want to hear this anymore means requiring patience.  However long it took a guy like Manning, Luck, or Flacco to figure it out it’s probably going to take him longer and we know from Flacco’s own mouth it took him 20 games in the NFL to figure it out and that was with a lot of college starts.  


I just posted pretty much the same thing in another thread. If the colts didn’t have a lot of talent, you can live with him learning and loosing on the job, but I think the colts have playoff talent and shouldn’t be throwing the season away on the hope he turns into a top qb.

What did you think of the bull crap REFS in the Huskers game. At the end, not only did our WR get targeted but got hit late out of bounds. These REFS suck now days.

NFL.com stats show Bryce Young dead last in qb Rating. AR is just above him, which proves we don’t have the worst qb in the NFL yet. Maybe after the Steelers get done with him, but not yet.

 

Too bad AR isn’t an MLB relief pitcher. Imagine the fear he would strike in hitters with a 100+ mph fastball going god knows where.

The thing is he just needs to play that’s it. Instead of him getting experience in college he is getting NFL experience he is still youngest starting QB in NFL. It is ugly and I mean ugly but let give it till the 5th year option to see

im just happy they have a qb that can make plays and doesn’t give games away! Refs have always made bad calls, some for and some against. I don’t dwell on them.

We should’ve sat him last season, but we’re here now 

Listen him getting hurt really really set us back, he didn’t have a lot of game reps and he coming off major surgery. Just coming back from surgery would be a lot but he has to get game reps and the expectation is higher from last season when he would have had a pass on mistakes. He just needs time on task

Yeah I think Dylan is the real deal, he is just freshman too. The loss bothered me all night though.

Maybe Flacco will be our Andy Dalton if/when we lose enough games.

Don’t care about winning a few games or in a few years being in Super Bowl contention. It takes time and to compete with aliens you need a alien we just have to build him up are own

I don’t want to lose any games I love winning……but I want to see improvement as we go on this roller coaster journey. It takes time let’s see where we are in week 8-9 and then reevaluate again in week 17-18. If it’s all about winning Shane has to run the football and ride Taylor and let AR hit the bombs if teams stack the box. But we are throwing to much and he is turning the ball over to much. We have to tighten that all up. I know it’s hard it kills me to watch some of the misses but I’m trying to be patient

Yeah because it’s been 5 years and we still can’t get the Quarterback situation solidified. I’m giving it until week 8 or 9. He has to improve by then


Whatever the issues were with the previous years, those are not the problem for AR.   The kid has to be given a fair opportunity.   And trying to determine his future by the middle of year 2 is simply not going to happen.  Richardson only gets experience by playing.   Period.  
 

Irsay knows it.  Ballard knows it.  Steichen knows it.   
 

You’re entitled to any opinion you want, but if you stick to a deadline of mid-season year 2, I think you’re headed to serious disappointment.

Some fans have never dealt with a rookie QB and it clearly shows. Imagine if the bills were as impatient as some fans here are.

How true.  Most fail to remember that Manning won 2 games his rookie season while breaking the interception record.
