6 QBs already IRed
 

Two games into the season and already 45 different QBs have taken NFL snaps.

Does this means there may be a trade market for AR?...NAH.

I think it means his chance to start here will be happening soon.

The hate for AR is beyond me. Why on earth would the news that starting QBs are being injured at a high rate be seen as 'we need to get rid of our backup'.

Seems like these younger generation of QBs have a tough time figuring out when to give up on a play, to me that seems to be the common theme with all the young QBs, staying in the play way too long and taking a big shot

I don’t “hate” AR, I just see him for what he is-not a good quarterback.

No hate, I hope he has a wonderful and successful life. He is just not a good QB. Nothing more nothing less. If we can get help on the D, deal him and get that help.

No hate here either, I would just like see us get something for him of meaningful value. Like a backup Nose Tackle.

So you want AR gone because he isnt good. WTF on this team is good? He is the best we can do at back up QB (and i would add that all back up QBs suck to some degree or another-otherwise they would be starting). I am with the croud that thinks we need to clean house completely but if the bar is you are lousy then maybe we should be looking at keeping 6-7 dudes out of the entire team. Why single out AR, i'd say he isnt even the worst QB on the team. You are dreaming if you think anyone is going to give you something of value when if they want to take a flyer on him it will be free 4 months or so.

He's #2 on the depth chart, so what does that say about Riley Lenard?

With any luck, maybe we can get the Jets to give us a deal on the rail they used to run Sam Darnold out of town on.

In spite of the fact that I heavily favor Daniel Jones over Anthony Richardson as the Colts' best option at quarterback, I love Anthony Richardson.

If Richardson retired tomorrow, the first thing that I always think about when I hear or read his name is the time that he led the Colts to a late, emotionally-charged, come-from-behind win against the Patriots on their homefield at Gillette Stadium in 2024 ...... he led them to a TD AND a 2-point conversion in the final seconds of the 4th quarter in a thrilling, 25-24 win.

Also, actions speak louder than words ...... Richardson took himself out of a game in 2024 because he was tired ...... so what did he do ??? In the off-season in between 2024 and 2025 he stopped eating his favorite snack (Skittles), did an intensive cardiovascular training program, and lost 15 pounds of body-fat ...... he looked like a long-distance runner in his press conference in August of 2025.


Anthony Richardson is young, talented, raw, inexperienced, and flawed ...... and I love him ...... he may or may not evolve into a top-tier quarterback someday, but I will aways think of him as a Colts player who has a heart of gold and the determination of a bulldog.

I’m no Leonard fan, Ed. AR is better than Riley Leonard but that’s not saying much.

The NFl has a QB development problem. A linemen development problem. And a QB protection problem. And they are all linked.

I’m a Leonard fan but he’ll I still root for AR

Having Jonathan Taylor makes their job so much easier, I believe any of the 3 qbs on this roster can win games and compete for the AFC south

The problem is impatience. And unfortunately you can't really blame the coaches, because typically they get 3 years at most to prove themselves, so they have to be quick with pulling a player if they're not performing well, even if that experience would be irreplaceable in developing that player into a good player. It's why I'm glad the Colts are keeping AR, and if this regime sticks around, I hope they resign him. Just because his first time out was bad doesn't mean he can never be a good QB. His mechanics have looked significantly improved over the last 2 preseasons, and there's a chance he could still develop into a good QB.

I will say yes to a large degree about QB development. Colleges are in win now mode as well so a lot of teams just put the best athlete they have out there and let him go. It’s criminal how under developed some of these guys are. I was listening to nfl radio and they said when Jordan Love came out they were interviewing him and the interviewer asked him what he prefers about a hard count and he paused then said “what’s a hard count?” For a 1st round QB not to know that is ridiculous.

But I think the restrictions on practice time is why we aren’t seeing more development. When Reggie was playing every player got reps. Yeah practices were longer, but that’s how you develop your backups. Now the 1sts take all the reps. Backups are reduced to mental reps. And hence you have a league with shallow olines and one quality QB.

I would be interested in seeing AR with more maturity in the second half of him 20’s.
If only we could put Jones work ethic and heart in AR.
