But he is not fully to blame for the 13% throwing percentage. I know folks want to find stats to confirm their narrative. If the receivers had caught the passes, would you have posted his throwing percentage? I saw Curtis Painter. There is no way that AR is worse.

the problem is richardson is throwing to guys who are fully covered or double covered all game . yes his passes are hitting guys in the hands today but there is a reason for  all the incompletions .  he is locking onto his first read and just throwing it

I say try him out at TE

TE is a hard position to learn, it usually takes young players a while.

There hand JT the ball and let him put points up 

Plus it's taking time off the clock 

[Lancer1]

Run JT effectively and take occasional deep shots and this game is very winnable.

I never once defended his play. The pass was bad. And it should have never happened… this game should be 10-10 with adjustments made at half to take the lead here coming out. Shane’s been horrible with game and clock management  this season. That has nothing to do with AR’s play. 

It’s everything. Say what you want that’s a high % completion that he absolutely botched. You cannot throw out plays just because your QB isn’t capable of doing it at least at a somewhat decent rate.

 He is Painter. The ball gets there late and is poorly placed. When it isn't a what the heck are you doing.

As much as it pains me to watch this, AR needs the reps. 

He does but he also has to show he belongs on the field.  Don’t get me wrong I am NOT on the play Flacco bandwagon but AR can not go 2/15 in a half every week.  Like I said Shane is to blame for this too.  He keeps trying to make AR something he isn’t.  He needs to understand what he has.  I will say the first two plays of the second half were what the Colts should have had as a game plan coming into the game which is on Shane.

His body would never survive the beating TE's take.

shane came and read the board over half

man- it’s almost like running the ball and getting AR into space is effective. would you just look at that… 

[compuls1v3]

Yes!!! AR to TE for 4 yards on first down. Love that.

Worst first half does not equate to worst QB ever.

Shall we look at his career stats?

[AKB]

completion!

[Dark_Indy]

Hey, Richardson doubled his completed passes already.

Yea don’t let your franchise QB throw the ball. Have the multiple injured QB run it. Sure that won’t be a liability.

[IndyEV]

Thanks Pitt!🤬

[EasyE]

Now give it to JT

I'm so sick of the "he's just a rookie" argument. 

Dude has had opportunity after opportunity to show that he has made any sort of development. Nothing. He has zero football IQ, and no physical durability. 

This dude has a 13% completion percentage in the first half. 13%. He also has the lowest completion percentage in the league. Absolute disaster of a quarterback. 

 

You can't even say Steichen is the problem. Flacco has been fine in Steichen's system. Minshew did fine in Steichen's system. Richardson is the anomaly here. Absolute disaster. 

 

 

 

Yeah, at the end of the day, you can’t start a QB (especially when there is a more effective option available) if the play calling has be so neutered to limit the offense.  
 

If he is that raw, then sit him and let him develop until a semi-complete offense can be run

I never understood the pick at all.  AR seems like a nice guy but he's not very intelligent and can't hit the side of a barn.  All bad characteristics for a QB.

[compuls1v3]

Nice slant.   keep stacking.

[EasyE]

Nope fumble

You are king at putting the words you want someone to be saying into their mouths. I never said have your qb run it… I said get him into space. 
 

lol, you are something. Idk what it is, but it’s something

How does he get into space? Teleport?

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

What are we doing 

[GoColts8818]

1 step forward 2 steps backwards…

dude

[azcolt]

Highlights of AR would make a great comedy movie.

Give it to JT wth is wrong with these coaches??

[IndyEV]

[chad72]

AR is just giving us a sea of negatives even when a drive goes in his favor. Too frustrating!!!

[ADnum1]

On every play Steichen calls there is a short route, an intermediate route and a deep route - Pierce.

 

It is AR that chooses to throw to the deep route every time.

 

Do you all think Steichen says "OK AR just throw it to the deep route this time !"

 

It doesn't work that way.

 

There are multiple options on every pass play

He’s on the roster right now. Way to deflect

That was one of the dumbest decisions I've ever seen from a head coach/play caller. 

 

Richardson should have been a 4th rounder and sat for 2-3 years.

Look at the original question.  It's not a deflection.

[AKB]

at least Rigo has been decent. 

[coltsfan_canada]

Atleast AR is smiling about his fumble. 

[HungarianColtsFan]

That holding was killer to our drive.

[AKB]

Crason Wentz was frustrating to watch, this might be worse. 

[Rolltide_gocolts]

For somebody so athletic AR has been very clumsy!!!!
