Qwiz Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago 1 hour ago, 2006Coltsbestever said: It still continues to baffle me why some are confused that AR struggles at times, the guy has only had 10 NFL starts. What do people expect. He needs to play, get more reps, and learn on the field against the best NFL Defenses, otherwise it was a waste drafting him. We all know Flacco is a better pocket passer but that isn't the point, and he should be being in the league since 2008. I can usually tell if a QB is going to be bad or good after around 35 starts. He needs at least 25 more starts before I can label him as stinking or panning out. 35 is fair. That’s not today’s league. Bryce, Zach Wilson, Justin Fields, hell even Sam Darnold until this season….how many of them got to play 3 seasons before the jury seemed to be out on them? It’s a win now league and a lot of the time fans aren’t the only ones who lack patience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not in the front office but as has been argued around here ad nauseam, which QB has been more efficient and given the team the better chance to win? When you answer that honestly and look at who is under center the rest of the season, you’ll have your answer as to how the FO may be looking at the season. Colts are 4-3. AR is responsible for 3 of those wins 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwing BBZ Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago It wouldn't have hurt the kid to sit for 2 years. Clearly he isn't ready. But, we do need to know the sooner the better if he is still dumb enough to expose himself to injurious hits. Does he need more knots on his head to help him learn to protect himself is the monumental question and that means play him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm rooting for the kid Steichen also needs to develop a good game plan until he develops as that passer. I don’t know if anyone noticed but when he was running and on a roll in 4th quarter last week the pass catchers had more space and he went 5/6. Every pass play can’t be 30 yards down field. Steelers game those first two drives is how this offense should look. AR can’t be made into a pocket passer only. He does a good job keeping his eyes downfield when he is scrambling too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much of the losses do you attribute to him and how much do you attribute to Flacco in his lone loss 🤔 Or is it all on the receivers or the defense 🤔 Like others have said, you’re severely downplaying the impact Joe Flacco has had. I think it’s obvious the Colts invested in him not only to tutor Richardson and show him the ropes, but as the insurance he’s turned out to be.

Which means develop and win at same time. I think it was the GB game the pass catchers had a lot of dropped balls or they win that game and defense first half was bad. He set Flacco up for the win with Steelers to. Last wwwk I would say he was a major reason they did win. As he was really good in fourth quarter.

Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago Not sure how much the jags game is why this stat is true.

Ehh, the GB game might not be your best one to point out his greatness. He had three interceptions that game and an abysmal passer rating, no? If I recall correctly the defense played much better in the second half, giving the team a better chance to win, but that wasn’t one of Anthony’s good games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a lot of dropped passes that game. The defense also didn’t get their act together until second half. I wasn’t saying anything about greatness. Just pointing out colts could have easily won that game if they would have caught the ball. Even with the bad defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restinpeacesweetchloe Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago AR got his rust off last week. I can’t wait to see this week. Every time he gets on a role he has gotten injured. He needs to get on a roll and stay healthy. Steichens play calling also hasn’t helped. To many deep shots every drive. More AR from game 2 last year.

krunk Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago Let's be for real. Bro hasn't played that well. I don't have much confidence we will beat Houston with him starting, but it's not bc he isn't capable. It's pretty much bc he still has those irritating ball placement/ball sailing issues to go along with the injury bug. Seemed like he figured something out with his ball placement in the second half vs Miami so I'm hopeful he can keep that going vs Houston. If he can I believe he will start looking more and more like what we are looking for. I don't think he needs to sit. I just think he needs to get that ball placement thing fixed sooner than later. Its not a little issue, it's a big issue. The Boo Birds came out last week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree he has a low floor. His athletic traits give him a high floor. You are either blind, related to Richardson or just don't know what you are talking about. How could he have a high floor? his statistics are similar to another gator QB named Tim Tebow. The Colts are stuck with a 7-10 completion per game QB with no running game. This will be the same numbers 3 years from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShuteAt168 Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago 10 hours ago, RollerColt said: The one thing that's different about AR compared to the guys he mentioned like Mahomes and Love? I'm pretty sure their respective teams already knew what they had. I remember the year Mahomes sat, there was a ton of chatter about how he was the next great QB, before he even played a snap in the NFL. Love had some really positive accolades as well. With Anthony, he's just so green we aren't sure what we have. It's a unique case where having him play honestly might be the best for him just so he has the experience. Exactly. I live near KC and there was constant chatter about how Mahomes was looking great in practice. It seemed like hyperbole at the time, but obviously was true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Colt Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago You don't take a QB with minimal playing experience and not play him.

chad72 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Gardner Minshew fans went silent for a while now. One constant is rooting for the backup and seizing chances to downplay what AR brings to the table amongst Colts fans.

When you draft a player at 4 with only 13 college games that’s throwing the dice for me. Picking players in the draft is hard enough when they have played four years let alone 13 games.

This should be a good game. I think AR has no doubt been inconsistent but he seems to make a big play or 2 whether it be a pass or a run late in games right we need it. Regarding Flacco, I really don't even consider him a backup, he's that good. Glad we have him. Flacco could still start for 7 teams at his age easily = Patriots, Titans, Browns, Raiders, Giants, Panthers, even us - to name a few. Good pocket passer and makes quick decisions.
