Flacco Time?

Recommended Posts

So many forum gm’s say Richardson will only learn playing. Then there is the, he didn’t get that much experience in college. That’s true, so why can’t he get even better experience practicing against nfl players for a year or two? Let Flacco play for a year or two and let the raw Richardson learn watching a nfl vet play. Too often teams rich qb’s and hurt their developement.

Because backups don’t get reps in practice the starters need them to prepare the game plan.

I'd play Richardson  unless the running  game picks up

AR problem is not playing the game. He is only going to figure out this awareness thing by playing.

    • Exactly... He was always a deep threat with speed! The problem was he had no one to get him the ball. His rookie season came under an old washed Matt Ryan who had no arm strength left. As a matter of fact the one shining moment Alec had that season was when Ryan threw the ball with all of his left might and hit Alec on a bomb in the back of the endzone for a game winner! Sam Ehlinger had no big arm either as backup nor did Gardner Minshew last season.   I remember how many times last year they would show Alec wide open deep on replays but Minshew was a limited qb unable to make that throw. It appeared that Alec's role a year ago was to simply stretch the field so everything could open up midrange for Minshew who by way has been benched already by the Raiders and their top wr Adams wants out because his numbers have dropped majorly with that qb room!!   The reason why Alec has looked so good with AR and now Joe is because they both have the ability to get the ball downfield which utilizes his skillset. Remember how TY looked without Luck? Not saying TY couldn't route run but his calling card was taking the top off and once Luck was gone it was more shallow outs and slants which led to mounting injuries for TY as he took more shots IMO.   Alec will be just fine and his route running will contine to get better. Teams will no longer try to press him off the line because of his "new found" deep threat abilities (lol) combined with the fact that the OVERALL wr group is much better with Downs, Pitt, Dulin and to a degree AD if he starts losing the alligator arms.
    • Will Levis get ready bro! Tyler Huntley.. you're gonna ball out on your last audition before Tua comes back
    • In practice, Matt Ryan probably thought he had another decade in him.  
    • It's been that way for decades it seems. I remember Minshew going 21 of 22 against us .... ironically,in Jville
    • Just saw this on Talkin' Colts on Facebook. They need to fire Bradley now and put Ballard on notice. This can't continue. Unacceptable.   Three QBs in a row have had career highs against the Colts. Amazing. We like our guys!    Week 1 Joe Mixon 159 rush yards, most since 2021   Week 2 Josh Jacobs 151 rush yards, most since 2022 (also Malik Willis 86% of passes completed)   Week 3 Caleb Williams 363 pass yards, career high   Week 4 Justin Fields 367 total yards, career high   Week 5 Trevor Lawrence 371 pass yards, career high
