Flacco requires run game balance.  As long as that is there, he can win you some games.  But if Richardson can go he needs to play.  

Till the game slows down for AR we still need wins. Flacco is that bridge.

It's not about that.  It's about doing what it takes to win. AR is going to get his time. He still has to learn to protect himself.  It will come but keeping us in the hunt calls for Flacco at times. 

 

 The Colts should create a hour long "Protecting Yourself/ Sliding for Dummies" vid demonstrating other highly successful QB's doing it, and have ours watch it Daily until he has proven he understands. 

 AR definitely still doesn't get it. He has believed that he is a a Cam like Superman, and it needs to become clear to him that he is actually NFL Fragile. The kid can't take a open field hit. 

 Still picturing Hero 'LB' Luck getting jacked by two Broncos, Luck whirlybirding in the air, ending up with a lacerated kidney. One of dozens of bad decision hits he took.

 There wouldn't be anything wrong with AR sitting for awhile until he grows up.

 While he is contemplating his Issues, teach the kid to throw an out that doesn't sail 6' over his receivers head. NO amount of game experience will fix it. It's actually Quite pathetic watching him do it over and over. 

 And, trying to throw the ball downfield to AD is a loser. He is lost out there. Those plays should be called for Pierce, if you are actually playing to win.

I don’t get this questioning his toughness nonsense fans are starting to throw out.  Here are the injuries that knocked out of games.

 

He got hit hard in the Rams game and coaches admitted they took him out to protect him from himself given the situation in the game and it was almost over and he was being reckless trying to run.

 

he got a concussion vs the Texans, that had nothing to do with toughness.

 

he injured his shoulder to the point he needed surgery because a big guy fell on him.  Again that has nothing to do with toughness.

 

Then he got an injury that multiple people have sighted other athletes across sports missing weeks for and there is a chance he plays Sunday.  That seems to fly in the face of the theory he some how lacks toughness.

 

People want to argue he’s injury prone that argument I can listen too because there is a lot of evidence to back it up unfortunately but the lacking toughness is just pure nonsense.  None of these injuries look to be him milking something because he just can’t take it.  They are legit injuries.  That has nothing to do with if a player is tough or not.  

Obviously any NFL player is tougher than 99+% of the population. So of course AR is tough by that standard. He essentially said the same thing in his Oct 2 interview. But the question is whether he is tough enough to play through the hits that most of the other 31 qb’s would tolerate. The jury is out on that question and so far it’s not looking good.

The game isn’t going to slow down for him without playing.  Flacco was never brought here to start over AR.  He was brought here to be a backup.  Fans can call for whatever they want but if healthy AR is the starter and that’s not a question for the Colts.
