Patrick Miller Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago So with AR listed as doubtful it looks like it’s Joe Flacco time. My question is if The offense clicks with Flacco and we dominate the jags….especially with all our injuries….would this sway those who think ARs reps matter more than wins? Maybe AR should sit and watch this year? If Flacco can give us a legit shot at winning it all….. shouldn’t we go with the hot hand? What say you? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjwhiskers Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago If Flacco starts, I personally think AR is healthy enough to play and this is Shane sending him a message that he needs to tough it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flacco gets us to maybe round one of the playoffs is the best case. There’s nothing at all to be gained be getting to the playoffs and getting bounced week one with AR riding the pine. No, you play AR regardless of wins, provided he’s healthy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honesty though I feel he’s going to end up getting hurt again. People keep complaining about this accuracy issue…. Yet he’s statistically better than Peyton was after the same number of games in the league. Peyton got better because of reps, that timing Peyton had with his WRs didn’t just happen, it took time. Let AR take his licks this season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe AR should sit and watch this year? If Flacco can give us a legit shot at winning it all….. shouldn’t we go with the hot hand? What say you? Here are some different opinions from the Athletic. I agree with Zak Keefer. Quote The Colts and Jaguars meet in an AFC South clash. Would you start Joe Flacco this week, even if Anthony Richardson is healthy? Quote Mike Sando: I’d start Richardson if healthy and then reassess over a longer period of time. Quote Zak Keefer: Richardson needs to play. He’s still only eight starts into his NFL career and showed some promise early in Sunday’s win over the Steelers. He was more accurate from the pocket, ridding his game of the early season mistakes that buried the Colts in different spots in September. This season is all about reps for Richardson; as long as he’s healthy, he needs to be on the field, so in January this organization has a better sense if he’s the future or not. Quote Jeff Howe: Richardson and the offense were off to a nice start before he injured his hip. If Shane Steichen believes that group was on the verge of turning the corner, with or without Flacco, it shouldn’t even be up for debate that Richardson should be on the field. But what if Steichen still has doubts, namely that Jonathan Taylor’s early involvement helped the offense? In that case, with Taylor’s ankle injury, Steichen might think it’s necessary to give Flacco a shot to keep the Colts in the playoff mix. That’s when the decision gets much tougher. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5818472/2024/10/05/nfl-week-5-roundtable-bills-texans-cowboys-steelers-chiefs-injuries?source=user-shared-article 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

csmopar Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago 47 minutes ago, crazycolt1 said: ARs and Mannings game are totally different. AR uses his athletic ability while Manning used his mental ability. Two totally different QBs. Agreed. im just old enough to remember everyone nitpicking Manning his rookie year, especially with the Interceptions. Lots of local media were jumpin on the Ryan Leaf bandwagon pre-draft. my entire point is simply I think the league has become too quick to toss young QBs to the side. The teams that are patient, seem to reap the benefits long term. Bills come to mind. Now I’m not saying AR will become the next Josh Allen. I’m just saying we need to be patient. as I said before, I didn’t like any of the QBs in AR’s class. Including stroud who I’m still not sold on either. I definitely wasn’t on board with drafting AR, but I started to soften on that stance after seeing him in Training camp last year. But sadly, the worry I had pre-draft about run first thinking QBs is that they’re always banged up is turning out to be valid. AR has to learn to not run the ball recklessly, run it out of bounds and live to fight another down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoColts8818 Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago Sounding like it’s going to be Flacco tomorrow. Going to be a lot of pressure on the Colts oline vs a good pass rush with no running game threat and a non mobile QB to slow them down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
