Several of the Richardson detractors wanted Levis. Levis has not played that much better. If Levis was playing lights out, they would be pointing out that they wanted Levis and would post his stats.

Yeah, Levis wouldn’t be any better but the fact is Flacco gives us a better chance to win. He’s an actual nfl quarterback. Now we are two games back and the Texans have the tiebreaker. This sucks.

Calling plays to make easier throws and run the damn ball. That’s supposed to be Shane’s strength but he acting like AR is a seasoned pro. 
If they would have called qb draw late in the second quarter it’s a different game. 
im sick to my stomach watching this poor play calling and not calling plays to the players strength. It’s maddening

Game not close as score shows

It’s time to just play richardson’s style. If he gets injured and can’t play that’s unfortunate but no point to try to force him to be something he can’t be.

I agree 💯 

I have had family members tell me Colts are going to regret not taking Levis.

I'm like no they won't, Richardson is more athletic and he has JT.

IMO 

JT should be getting the ball at least 20 to 30 touches a game. When he is healthy, JMO

He had I think 20 this game. But he should have been fed more. I think we win a few other games feeding her more.

Especially the Packers game.

They both suck, and will have short careers.

Plus you have to remember Lamar Jackson had a few years of nothing but injuries before he was considered MVP almost every year. Just a thought!!

[rich carpenter]

I didn't care for play calling in first half.

You can also say coaching him right could suck. Lol 

 

Usually the the bears are the best at ruining QBs.

But not anymore, they stacked their WRs and defense.

Maybe, but his  issues typically don’t get fixed. He can’t make NFL throws.

He hasn't had many NFL throws or college throws.

 

He hasn't been that bad. The kid deserves a break from the negativity..

Blame his coaching before him. IMO

Being 2/15 isn’t on the coach that’s on the player. 

Of course it is. When your qb is 2 /15 and almost threw a pic the  play before. You run the ball because that is what a good coach does. He puts players in a position where they can succeed. This looked like a tight game going into the half. Every point and turnover would be crucial. Its li. That's what a coach is for.

The coach can call the right plays, but the player has to execute and the QB has to know to not do risky throws, when in your own end zone. Steichen isn’t throwing the ball.

No he is not, but  he has to know that his qb is struggling. U get out of the half tied if u can, and u get the ball to strategy the 2nd half. I bet if u listen to every Colts podcast. They will come down hard kn Steichen as they should.

Okay, so let's go back to the draft.  Were you one of the ones who wanted to end the QB carousel by drafting any qb or were you in the camp of passing on a qb if it wasn't Stroud, or didn't want to draft a QB at all since we had no chance at getting Stroud.

Wanted Stroud. I would have never drafted Richardson. Don't believe in running QBs. Don't believe in drafting QBs based on athleticism. I watched Peyton Manning and Tom Brady dominate for decades and they were the least athletic guys on the field. You draft QB based on skill and intangibles. 

 

If you only focus on QBing skill, he probably would have been one of the last QBs taken, if at all. 

 

When it was looking like we would get Richardson, I tried talking myself in to him, but never really could. 

 

Can't wait for this to end.

When does OC start calling plays?

[rich carpenter]

AR looked tired in 4th quarter of every game he has played. Is coaching staff pushing a little too hard???
